TikTok Profile Scraper

An advanced Apify Actor for scraping TikTok profiles, discovering influencers, and analyzing their performance with powerful filtering options. This tool acts as a powerful TikTok API, allowing you to extract valuable data including engagement metrics, contact information, and content language for market research, lead generation, and competitor analysis.

🌟 What can this TikTok Scraper do?

• Scrape profiles in three different ways:
  • Mode 1 — Followers/Following: Analyze followers and/or following of one or multiple target accounts.
  • Mode 2 — Specific List: Process a provided list of TikTok usernames directly.
  • Mode 3 — Engaged Audience: Find real people who actively comment on a target account's posts — the most engaged segment of their audience. Accounts with no content are automatically filtered out.
• Extract over 20 valuable data points for each profile (see table below).
• Analyze content performance by calculating metrics like Median Views, Average Shares, and a comprehensive Engagement Ratio.
• Detect profile language automatically based on post captions and bio text.
• Detect account category — Public Figure, Sports, Shopping & Retail, and more.
• Filter profiles using a powerful set of options including language, category, follower range, engagement, keywords, and more.
• Control your costs with a simple budget setting that automatically stops the actor when the limit is reached.

📊 What data can you extract from TikTok?

Data Point	Description
Account	The full URL to the TikTok profile.
Profile Picture	The profile avatar image URL.
Full Name	The display name of the user.
Followers / Following	The number of followers and accounts the user is following.
Likes / Videos Count	The total number of likes received and videos posted.
Median Views	The median number of views on the user's recent posts.
Most Viewed Video	The play count of the single most-viewed recent video.
Avg. Shares	The average number of shares on recent posts.
ER (incl. shares) (%)	A calculated Engagement Ratio: ((likes + comments + shares) / followers) * 100.
Last Post Date	The date the user last posted a video.
Biography	The full text from the user's bio.
Website / Email	Contact details if publicly available on the profile.
Verified Status	Whether the account has a blue verification checkmark.
Category	The TikTok business category (e.g., Public Figure, Sports, Shopping & Retail).
Profile Language	The detected language (2-letter ISO code) of the profile's content.

Note: Profiles with no posts will show "No Content" for Median Views, ER%, Language, Last Post Date, and other content-dependent fields.

How language detection works

The detection follows this priority:

1. Post captions (primary) — the combined text of recent posts provides the most text and the most accurate detection.
2. Bio text (fallback) — used when posts have no text or detection on posts is inconclusive.
3. Combined — if neither works alone, bio and posts are merged for one final attempt.

Profiles with very little text (only emojis, hashtags, or a few words) will show "N/A" — this is intentional to avoid incorrect guesses. Active accounts with regular posts are detected reliably.
