Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keywords | array | Yes | – | Terms to monitor. One per line. Accepts plain keywords and phrases ('nike', 'nike shoes'), hashtags ('#JustDoIt') and handles ('@gymshark'). Multi-word caption matches require a contiguous phrase; direct @handles require a clickable tag. |
| matchMode | string | No | mentionsOnly | 'Real mentions' keeps posts with a contiguous caption phrase, a matching hashtag slug, a clickable @mention or an explicit sound match. For direct @handle inputs only the clickable tag (or sound) counts. 'Every search result' also keeps weak search hits, labelled searchResult. |
| datePosted | string | No | anyTime | Only keep posts published in this window. The actor asks TikTok for the matching publish window, merges a bounded unfiltered pass for recall, and applies the exact cutoff. |
| postedAfter | string | No | – | Optional exact cut-off, e.g. 2026-10-01 or '3 days'. The tighter of this and 'Posted within' applies. |
| sortBy | string | No | relevance | Order of the final rows. 'Newest first' is the monitor-friendly order; TikTok's own newest ordering is used where available, with a client-side fallback. |
| searchDepth | string | No | standard | 'Just this term' runs one search. 'Standard' adds the #hashtag and @handle for single-word terms. 'Deep' also reads photo/slideshow posts, related searches and case/spacing variants. A direct @handle stays tagged-only in mentionsOnly. |
| maxResultsPerKeyword | integer | No | 50 | Maximum rows kept for each keyword after all sources are merged (1-500). TikTok returns roughly 130-240 posts per source query; deep mode can find more across sources. |
| maxItems | integer | No | – | Optional global cap across all keywords and sources. |
| minPlayCount | integer | No | – | Drop posts with fewer plays/views. Leave empty for no minimum. |
| searchCountry | string | No | any | 'Any country' uses the fastest free connection. A specific country pins the search to that market's results, which is slower but shows what people there see. |
Show the other 3 settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| onlyNewMentions | boolean | No | false | Emit only posts not seen by this monitor in previous runs. The first run backfills; 'new' means new to this monitor, not new on TikTok. |
| monitorName | string | No | default | Name for this watchlist's saved state. Use a different name for a separate set of keywords. |
| soundUrls | array | No | – | Optional TikTok sound URLs or IDs to read as explicit sources, e.g. https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-123... . Sound evidence sets soundMatch; a sound-only row uses source=sound and keyword=sound:<musicId>. |

What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
Official route: TikTok APIs
Limited access. TikTok offers Display APIs for authorized accounts, a Research API for approved academic researchers, and business products. There is no open general-purpose public content API.
Separate products have their own terms; general access is not sold as a self-serve per-call API.
