Limitations

• Only works with public profiles
• TikTok may rate limit excessive requests
• Some regions may require proxy configuration
• Account must exist and not be suspended

Error Handling

Failed scrapes include error details:

{
  "username": "deleted_account",
  "success": false,
  "error": "Profile not found"
}

Common errors:

• Profile not found - Account doesn't exist or was deleted
• Profile suspended - Account banned by TikTok
• Rate limited - Too many requests, increase delay
• Request timeout - Network issues, will auto-retry

Tips for Best Results

1. Use reasonable delays - 500-1000ms between requests recommended
2. Process in batches - Split large lists into smaller runs
3. Check results - Review failed profiles for patterns
4. Use proxies - For high-volume scraping, consider Apify proxy
