Extract data from a TikTok video

Turn TikTok video links into checked CSV data for Google Sheets

Still copying TikTok video metrics by hand?

What this task does

You run this task with Incredible to extract data from one TikTok video or a list of video links. It reads each public video’s caption, hashtags, posting date, engagement counts, creator and sound, then gives you linked CSVs opened in Google Sheets.

The problem

Marketers checking TikTok performance often copy captions, engagement counts and profile details by hand. This takes time, and screenshots do not give them structured data they can sort or compare.

The solution

Incredible extracts TikTok video data for research and due diligence by opening each link, reading the published details and organizing related creator, sound and comment data. The result is a set of linked CSVs in Downloads, checked in Google Sheets.

This is what you give

Input Example:

• TikTok video link: tiktok.com/@acme/video/123456
• Collect comments: Yes
• Comment limit: 100
• Video ID: 1234567890

This is what you get

• Video URL: tiktok.com/@acme/video/123456
• Video caption: An example video caption
• Video hashtags: #example, #demo
• Mentioned accounts: @janedoe, @johnsmith
• Video posted at: Thursday 14 March, 10:30
• Video duration: 42
• Play count: 1.2M
• Video like count: 48K
• Video comment count: 320
• Video share count: 125
• Video save count: 84

How it works, step by step

1. Install Incredible. Get the Incredible desktop app for Mac or Windows and drag it into your Applications folder. You only do this once.

2. Press fn and say what you want. Hold the fn key and say it in your own words: “Extract captions, engagement, creators, and sounds from these TikTok links”. Release the key, and Incredible gets to work.

3. Incredible reads TikTok and checks Google Sheets. Incredible opens each TikTok link, reads the video, creator, sound and selected comment data, then opens the resulting CSVs in Google Sheets to check them.

4. Your linked CSVs are ready in Downloads. The files contain linked rows for videos, creators, sounds and any collected comments, including the collection date and served region.

Frequently asked questions

How can I extract data from TikTok videos automatically? Give Incredible one public TikTok video link or a list of links. It opens each video in TikTok, reads the published video, creator and sound details, then writes linked CSVs to Downloads and checks them in Google Sheets.

What data can I extract from a TikTok video? Incredible can extract the caption, hashtags, mentions, duration, posting date and displayed play, like, comment, share and save counts. It also reads creator profile details, sound details, media links, the collection date and the region serving the page.

Can I extract TikTok data from multiple video links? Yes, Incredible can process a list of TikTok video links one at a time. Each public video becomes a row linked to separate creator and sound data.

Can I extract comments from TikTok videos? Yes, comment collection can be included when comments are available. The comments CSV can contain the comment text, author username, timestamp, like count and the comment it replies to, up to the set limit.

Can I extract data from private TikTok videos? No, this task only reads public TikTok videos. Private, friends-only and unavailable videos cannot be accessed.

Does Incredible download the TikTok video? No, Incredible records the video and cover image links without downloading the media file. The resulting CSVs contain the links alongside the extracted video data.

Is extracted TikTok engagement data exact? The extracted counts match what TikTok displays on the page. When TikTok shows a rounded figure such as 1.2M, Incredible stores that displayed figure rather than adding unsupported precision.
