**To scrape a TikTok sound, put its music page URL, such as `https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7353782204394245000`, in the `startUrls` input of apidojo’s [TikTok Scraper](https://apify.com/apidojo/tiktok-scraper) on Apify.** It returns the videos that use the sound, each with views, likes, shares, upload time and a `song` object holding the sound’s ID, title, artist, album and duration, at $0.30 per 1,000 posts.

Sound data shows how fast a sound is spreading and which videos are carrying it. This guide covers inputs, the song fields, measuring a sound’s growth, and extracting audio from videos you have the rights to. Finding sounds in the app is covered in [how to find trending sounds on TikTok](/blog/tiktok-trends/trending-sounds/). Every other collection task is mapped in [how to scrape TikTok data](/blog/tiktok-scraping/how-to-scrape-tiktok/). Sounds usually travel inside hashtags, so [how to scrape TikTok hashtag pages](/blog/tiktok-scraping/scrape-hashtags/) is the natural companion, and [how to download TikTok videos in bulk](/blog/tiktok-scraping/bulk-download-videos/) covers the video files themselves.

## How Do You Scrape a TikTok Sound?

**You scrape a sound by giving the actor the sound’s page URL.** Listed below are the 4 steps.

1.  **Open** the sound page in the app or on tiktok.com, by tapping the sound name on any video, and copy its link.
2.  **Paste** the link into `startUrls` in TikTok Scraper.
3.  **Set** `maxItems`.
4.  **Run** it and export the videos.

```
{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7353782204394245000"],
  "maxItems": 1000
}
```

Music URLs are one of the URL types the actor accepts (Apify). apidojo also lists a dedicated [TikTok Music Scraper](https://apify.com/apidojo/tiktok-music-scraper) for sound-focused jobs.

## What Sound Data Does Each Result Contain?

**Every video result carries a `song` object, so any scrape, by hashtag, keyword or profile, also tells you which sounds are in use.** The fields come from apidojo’s output example (Apify).

| Field | Contains |
| --- | --- |
| song.id | The sound’s ID, also in its page URL |
| song.title | The sound’s name, such as “original sound - creator” |
| song.artist, song.album | Artist and album, for official songs |
| song.duration | Length in seconds |
| song.cover | Cover image URL |

## How Do You Measure a Sound’s Growth?

**Count the sound’s new videos per day and the views they collect; a rising count means the sound is still spreading.**

```
import pandas as pd
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("apidojo/tiktok-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": ["https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7353782204394245000"],
    "maxItems": 1000,
})
df = pd.json_normalize(list(client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items()))
df["day"] = pd.to_datetime(df["uploadedAtFormatted"]).dt.date
print(df.groupby("day").agg(videos=("id", "count"), views=("views", "sum")).tail(14))
```

To find which sounds are rising across a whole topic, scrape a hashtag or keyword and count `song.title` values instead. Turning this into a recurring check is covered in [how to monitor TikTok trends with an API](/blog/tiktok-scraping/monitor-trends/).

## How Do You Extract the Audio From a TikTok Video?

**To extract audio from a video you have the rights to, such as your own, download the video file and convert it with a tool like ffmpeg.** Each result’s `video.url` points to the video file.

```
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 audio.mp3
```

Most sounds on TikTok are copyrighted music or other creators’ original audio. Extracting them for reuse outside TikTok needs the rights holder’s permission. Saving sounds inside the app is covered in [how to download a TikTok sound](/blog/tiktok-trends/download-tiktok-sound/).

## What Does Scraping TikTok Sounds Cost?

**At $0.30 per 1,000 posts, tracking 10 sounds with 1,000 videos each costs $3 per check.** The free Apify plan runs the actor in demo mode, 5 runs a month with 10 items each (Apify).
