TikTok Search Scraper

Search TikTok videos by keyword, then get a clean Breyta report you can read in the UI or call from HTTP and MCP.

Who this is for

This app is for marketers, trend researchers, agencies, and founders who need a quick way to inspect public TikTok search results without building scraping infrastructure.

What happens after install

After install, you can run the scraper from:

  • the Breyta run form
  • the HTTP endpoint
  • the MCP tool

Each run searches TikTok video results and returns:

  • a readable markdown summary
  • a downloadable JSON file with the raw rows

What you need to enter

  • Search query: a keyword or phrase such as ugc skincare, running tips, or saas founder
  • Max results: optional run cap, default 20, maximum 30

No extra buyer API setup is required for the base experience on this app.

What you get back

For each result, Breyta tries to return the most useful video fields available, including:

  • creator name
  • view count
  • like count
  • caption preview
  • video URL

Good uses

  • trend discovery
  • creator research
  • campaign research
  • category scanning

Limits and expectations

  • Results depend on what TikTok returns for the query and what the upstream actor can access at run time.
  • Very broad searches can mix topics and creator profiles, so precise keywords usually work better.
  • The app cap limits how many video results are collected per request.

Failure cases

You may see incomplete or failed runs if:

  • the query returns no visible public matches
  • TikTok changes search result availability during a run
  • an upstream network issue interrupts the actor run

When that happens, rerun with a narrower query or a lower cap first.
