## What it does

The skill runs the `apidojo/tiktok-music-scraper` actor on Apify. Each post comes back with caption, views, likes, comments, shares, hashtags, channel details and song metadata such as id, title, artist and duration. You pass TikTok music page URLs in `startUrls`; `maxItems` caps the run. An optional `customMapFunction` lets you transform every output object with JavaScript.

Runs go through `scripts/run_actor.js`. Output lands in the console as a table, or in CSV and JSON via the `--output` and `--format` flags. There is a fallback: POST to `https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tiktok-music-scraper/runs` with your token in the `Authorization` header. With Apify MCP configured, the same actor can be called through the `call_actor` tool.

No Apify token means nothing runs — the REST path expects `APIFY_TOKEN`, and the MCP path expects a working Apify MCP setup. You also have to supply the sound URL yourself; a track name will not do. Trending sounds can return thousands of posts, so set `maxItems` before you start. A removed sound yields an empty dataset, and copyrighted audio can come back thinner in some regions.
