## What it does

This skill sends a TikTok place-page URL to Apify actor `apidojo~tiktok-location-scraper` and returns the matching posts. Each record can include the caption, views, likes, comments, shares, bookmarks, hashtags, creator data, upload time, video URL, duration, and audio title.

The recommended runner is `scripts/run_actor.js`, with table output or files such as `results.csv` and `results.json`. A REST route is also available at `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tiktok-location-scraper/runs`; that route uses the `APIFY_TOKEN` bearer token.

The actor requires a TikTok location-page URL, not a city name. Private videos are filtered out, and a deleted location can produce an empty result. Locations with few tagged posts return the posts that remain available.
