Need help optimizing TikTok scraper
Hello,
I am rather new to scraping and dont have much of a technical background. I am a social science researcher using ClockWorks TikTok Scraper (https://apify.com/clockworks/tiktok-scraper) to scrape the top 1000 posts from various hashtags.
However, I am running into an issue where I am hitting the Apify usage limit of $49 very quickly, where each run of 1000 posts is costing nearly $30 in usage. I am using default settings within the actor. Is there a way I can reduce this cost?
Thanks,
Owen

Further, now that I am over my usage limit, should I just re-purchase the 'starter' plan to refill my allotted usage? thanks
Hello @prismo,
I am sorry for late answer, You may increase the limit in Billing -> Limits-> Edit Limit.
There you also find more information about how the additional price would be charged. 🙂
