Anycrawl Tiktok Scraper

AnyCrawl TikTok Scraper

Use this skill when the user gives a public TikTok URL and wants a deep pull through AnyCrawl.

Workflow

1. Accept a single public TikTok URL.
2. Validate that it is one of the supported shapes:
   • https://www.tiktok.com/@USER/video/VIDEO_ID
   • https://www.tiktok.com/@USER
   • https://www.tiktok.com/tag/TAG_NAME
3. Run the bundled extractor:

node .claude/skills/anycrawl-tiktok-scraper/scripts/run.js "<tiktok-url>"

4. Read the JSON file path printed by the script.
5. Summarize the important fields for the user:
   • page type
   • author/profile info
   • caption/title text
   • engagement stats
   • hashtags
   • screenshot URL
   • anything missing or clearly blocked by the source page

Output Handling

The script writes a full JSON artifact to /tmp by default and prints a compact summary to stdout.

The artifact includes:

• normalized: structured TikTok-focused extraction
• anycrawl: raw AnyCrawl response, including markdown, html, links, and screenshot@fullPage when available
• request: the exact payload used for the successful attempt

Retry Guidance

The script already retries with a slower Playwright configuration when the first pass is thin or fails.

Only retry manually when:

• the URL is public but the result is clearly sparse
• TikTok served a login wall or unusual consent page
• the user asks for another URL shape after the first run
