How do API Dojo scrapers work?

API Dojo scrapers run as Actors on the Apify platform. One Apify API token starts any of the 26 scrapers, and every run writes its results to a dataset you export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read through the API.

  1. 01

    Pick a scraper

    Filter the catalogue above by platform and data type.

  2. 02

    Enter URLs, handles or keywords

    Set the filters and the maximum item count.

  3. 03

    Run and export

    Download the dataset or stream it into your stack.

Python · apify-client

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

# Any of the 33 IDs on this page, for example
# apidojo/tweet-scraper, apidojo/tiktok-scraper,
# apidojo/youtube-transcript-scraper
ACTOR = "apidojo/tiktok-comments-scraper"

run = client.actor(ACTOR).call(run_input=INPUT)
items = client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).list_items().items

What can API Dojo scrapers not collect?

API Dojo scrapers collect only publicly visible data that loads without logging in. They do not access private accounts, direct messages or paywalled content, and each dataset reflects what the platform serves at run time.

  • No private or login-only data

    Private profiles, direct messages and close-friends stories stay out of scope.

    Use the platform's official API with user consent for first-party data.

  • Platform filtering applies

    Hidden, removed or shadow-limited content does not appear.

    Test the query on the platform first, then widen the date range or the sort mode.

  • Concurrency caps on some scrapers

    Tweet Scraper V2 runs one job at a time, with up to five batched queries.

    Batch the inputs into a single run. Each scraper page lists its own caps.

  • An Apify account is required

    All scrapers run on Apify, and the free plan runs them in demo mode.

    Any paid Apify plan removes the demo caps.
