What it does

Tiktok Profile Videos is an agent skill from browser-act/skills. TikTok user profile video scraper: input a TikTok username → output the user's profile info plus paginated video list with full metadata (engagement stats, music, video meta). Use when user mentions TikTok profile scraping, scrape TikTok user videos, get TikTok creator videos, extract TikTok profile data, TikTok user posts, TikTok account video collection, collect TikTok profile page videos, TikTok creator video list, TikTok creator data, TikTok profile scraper, tiktok user scraper, tiktok creator scraper. Also…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with TikTok. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation CLI built for AI agents. Break through anti-bot walls, hand off to humans across platforms when stuck. Parallel multi-task execution, independent multi-session… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User mentions TikTok profile scraping
  • Scrape TikTok user videos
  • Get TikTok creator videos
  • Extract TikTok profile data

Example prompts

  • “/tiktok-profile-videos”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. navigate https://www.tiktok.com/@{username}
  2. wait stable
  3. network requests --type xhr,fetch --filter "post/item_list"
  4. network request

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11c057b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • tiktok.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tiktok Profile Videos loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 571 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~172
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

TikTok — Profile Videos

TikTok username → user profile info + paginated video list with full metadata

Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

Objective

Extract the video list and profile metadata for a given TikTok user using the /api/post/item_list/ endpoint triggered by navigating to their profile page.

Prerequisites

  • Browser is open and can access https://www.tiktok.com
  • No login required for public profiles
  • Browser must use a non-HK proxy (TikTok has shut down in Hong Kong)

Pre-execution Checks

1. Tool Readiness

If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.

Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.

Capability Components

This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page, never bypassing authentication or access controls. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the scripts/ directory, invoked via eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})". $(...) is bash syntax; it is recommended to use the bash tool for execution.

Network Capture: Profile video list (parameters injected via URL navigation)

/api/post/item_list/ requires TikTok's dynamic signing and the user's secUid (internal ID). Navigate to the profile page — TikTok's JS resolves the secUid and triggers the signed request automatically:

  1. navigate https://www.tiktok.com/@{username}
  2. wait stable
  3. network requests --type xhr,fetch --filter "post/item_list"
  4. network request <id>

Endpoint characteristic: URL contains /api/post/item_list/ with secUid={secUid}&cursor=0

Note: The secUid is a long internal identifier (e.g., MS4wLjABAAAA-VASjiXTh7wDDyXvjk10VFhMWUAoxr8bgfO1kAL1-9s) visible in the captured request URL — record it for pagination requests.

Error handling: If no matching request appears, verify the profile page loaded (screenshot). Private accounts return an empty itemList. If the page shows a region block, switch to a non-HK proxy browser.

Output example:

json
{
  "cursor": "1778468677570", // timestamp-based cursor for next page
  "hasMore": true,           // false when all videos loaded

To build the webVideoUrl for each item: https://www.tiktok.com/@{item.author.uniqueId}/video/{item.id}

Profile info is available from the first item's author and authorStats fields: followerCount, following, heart total, video count, bio, verified status.

Network Capture: Profile video list pagination (page 2+)

After reading page 1, scroll down to load more videos:

  1. scroll down
  2. wait stable
  3. network requests --type xhr,fetch --filter "post/item_list"
  4. Find the new request (cursor value changed from the previous page's cursor)
  5. network request <id>

Termination: hasMore is false in response, or itemList is empty.

Pagination

DOM Pagination: Scroll triggers new post/item_list requests with timestamp-based cursor. Each page returns 16 items. Termination: hasMore === false or empty itemList.

Success Criteria

itemList.length >= 1 and first item has non-null id, stats.playCount, author.uniqueId, authorStats.followerCount

Known Limitations

  • Requires non-HK proxy (TikTok shut down in Hong Kong)
  • post/item_list requires dynamic signing + secUid resolved by TikTok's JS — always use navigate + network capture
  • Private accounts return empty itemList
  • authorStats.heartCount may overflow to negative for accounts with very high like counts — use authorStats.heart instead
  • followers/following lists are not available via this capability (separate scraper needed, requires login)

Execution Efficiency

  • Batch orchestration: Loop through multiple usernames serially in one session; add 2–3s between profile navigations.
  • Test before batch execution: Test with 1 username first before running the full list.
  • Error resumption: Save results profile-by-profile; resume from the failed username on error.

Experience Notes

Path: {working-directory}/browser-act-skill-forge-memories/tiktok-scraper-tiktok-profile-videos.memory.md

Before execution: If the file exists, read it first — it records unexpected situations from past executions; adjust strategy accordingly.

After execution: If an unexpected situation occurs (strategy failed, page redesigned, anti-scraping upgraded), append a line: {YYYY-MM-DD}: {what happened} → {conclusion}

Normal execution does not write to the file.
