🧠 Pro Tips for TikTok Profile Data Optimization

✅ Maximize Free Posts

Each profile query includes 20 FREE posts. Monitor 10 creators = 200 free posts before paying for additional data. Perfect for ongoing influencer tracking without high costs.

✅ Use maxItems Strategically

Set maxItems to control costs. For testing, use maxItems: 50. For production, calculate your budget: maxItems = (budget - query_cost) / 0.0003.

✅ Leverage Date Filtering

Use since and until parameters to extract only recent posts-saves costs by avoiding old irrelevant content. Perfect for campaign monitoring and trend analysis.

✅ Batch Related Profiles

Extract posts from multiple related creators in one run rather than separate runs to minimize operational overhead.

✅ URLs vs Usernames Decision

• Have direct profile URLs? Use startUrls ($0.006 per profile, 20 free posts)
• Have usernames from database? Use usernames ($0.006 per profile, 20 free posts)
• Rule of thumb: Both methods cost the same-choose based on your data source format

📦 Output

Output is stored in a dataset. Each item represents a TikTok post with comprehensive profile data, engagement metrics, and media content:

🧩 Custom Map Function: Transform TikTok Profile Data Output

Transform and customize your TikTok Profile Scraper API output data using the customMapFunction parameter. This JavaScript function receives each post object and returns your desired format-perfect for adding engagement metrics, extracting creator data, reformatting fields, or calculating custom analytics.

How It Works

The custom map function accepts each post object as input and returns your transformed data structure. Use it to customize TikTok data output format, calculate engagement scores, extract profile data to top level, or add custom classifications.

Important: Custom map function is for data transformation-not for filtering. Filtering items may result in automatic restrictions.

Example Transformation

Add custom engagement metrics, extract creator data, and clean up output:

(object) => ({
  ...object,
  engagementRate: ((object.likes + object.comments + object.shares) / object.views * 100).toFixed(2),
  username: object.channel?.username,
  followerCount: object.channel?.followers,
  isVerified: object.channel?.verified,
  isViral: object.views > 1000000,
  formattedDate: new Date(object.uploadedAtFormatted).toLocaleDateString(),
  video: undefined,  // Remove video object from output
  song: undefined    // Remove song object from output
})

Example Transformation Results

Input (original post object):

{
  "id": "7576086436626189598",
  "views": 28604941,
  "likes": 4548657,

    "username": "billieeilish",
    "followers": 74098655,
    "verified": true
  },
  "video": {...},
  "song": {...}
}

  "likes": 4548657,

• Extracting nested fields (creator data, video info) to top level
• Converting timestamps to readable formats or specific timezones
• Adding custom classifications based on views, engagement, or content type
• Creating derived metrics for business intelligence and analytics

❌ DO NOT use custom map function for:

• Filtering out posts (may result in restrictions)
• Removing items based on conditions
• Reducing dataset size through omission
• Conditional exclusion of posts

🔧 Troubleshooting Common TikTok Profile API Issues

Having trouble with your extraction? Here are solutions to common issues when scraping TikTok profile data, managing costs, and optimizing performance.

---

❓ Getting Fewer Posts Than Expected?

Problem: Extraction returns fewer TikTok posts than anticipated

Solutions:

✅ Check your maxItems setting - Increase the limit if you need more posts per profile
✅ Verify date filters - Ensure since and until parameters aren't too restrictive
✅ Confirm profile is public - Private accounts cannot be scraped
✅ Remember the free tier - Each profile query includes 20 FREE posts automatically

Pro Tip: For prolific creators with hundreds of posts, set a higher maxItems value to ensure complete extraction.

---

💰 Unexpected Costs?

Problem: Your TikTok Profile API run cost more than anticipated

Key pricing differences to remember:

Scenario	Cost Calculation	What You Pay
1 profile, 20 posts	1 profile query	$0.006 (all posts FREE)
1 profile, 100 posts	1 query + 80 items	$0.006 + ($0.0003 × 80) = $0.030
10 profiles, 200 posts	10 queries (all free)	$0.060 (no additional charges)
10 profiles, 500 posts	10 queries + 300 items	($0.006 × 10) + ($0.0003 × 300) = $0.150

Cost control tips:

✅ Each profile creates a separate query - 10 usernames = 10 × $0.006 = $0.060 in base costs
✅ First 20 posts per profile are FREE - Only pay for posts beyond the free tier
✅ Use maxItems to cap spending - Set a limit to control total extraction volume

    "adidas"
  ],
  "maxItems": 200
}

2. Configure additional filters if needed

🔧 Best Practices for TikTok Profile Scraping

✅ DO:

• Verify profiles exist - Test URLs manually before bulk scraping
• Use reasonable maxItems - Start with 100-500 posts for testing
• Remove @ symbols - Username format: username not @username
• Batch wisely - Process 10-50 profiles per run for optimal performance
• Set date ranges strategically - Use since/until for focused temporal analysis

❌ DON'T:

• Scrape empty profiles - Profiles must have at least 10 posts for stability
• Use very narrow date filters - Artificially restrictive ranges create inefficient queries
• Use customMapFunction for filtering - This causes automatic blocking; use date filters instead
• Scrape private accounts - Only public profiles are accessible
