Input

Input settings for TikTok Video Subtitle & Transcript Extractor
SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
postUrls array No – TikTok video URLs to process. Full video URLs, @user/photo URLs, short share links, and bare numeric IDs are accepted. Duplicate IDs are processed once.
postIds array No – Numeric TikTok video IDs as strings, as an alternative to postUrls.
languages array No – Optional language filter. Accepts TikTok codes (eng-US, spa-ES) and ISO/English aliases (en, English, es, Spanish). Listed languages missing from the video are requested as best-effort TikTok translations. Leave empty for every track on the default page.
includeAllTranslations boolean No false Best-effort: request TikTok's machine translation for every supported target language. Coverage varies by video and this adds up to 20 extra requests per video.
includeVtt boolean No false Include the original or generated WebVTT text in each transcript row.
includeSrt boolean No false Include generated SRT subtitles in each transcript row.
useWhisperFallback boolean No false Transcribe videos with no native captions using local Whisper. Slower and opt-in; detected language is best-effort, especially on short clips.

Example input

Built from the input form's published example values and defaults.

{
  "postUrls": [
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@asapscience/video/7642449638045256978"
  ],
  "includeAllTranslations": false,
  "includeVtt": false,
  "includeSrt": false,
  "useWhisperFallback": false
}

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "postUrls": [
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@asapscience/video/7642449638045256978"
    ],
    "includeAllTranslations": False,
    "includeVtt": False,
    "includeSrt": False,
    "useWhisperFallback": False
}

run = client.actor("vexaloom-labs/tiktok-video-subtitle-and-transcript-extractor").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "postUrls": [
        "https://www.tiktok.com/@asapscience/video/7642449638045256978"
    ],
    "includeAllTranslations": false,
    "includeVtt": false,
    "includeSrt": false,
    "useWhisperFallback": false
};

const run = await client.actor("vexaloom-labs/tiktok-video-subtitle-and-transcript-extractor").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vexaloom-labs~tiktok-video-subtitle-and-transcript-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"postUrls":["https://www.tiktok.com/@asapscience/video/7642449638045256978"],"includeAllTranslations":false,"includeVtt":false,"includeSrt":false,"useWhisperFallback":false}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vexaloom-labs/tiktok-video-subtitle-and-transcript-extractor",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

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.

Cost of TikTok Video Subtitle & Transcript Extractor results by Apify plan
Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 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.
