## What's an Apify Actor?
An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.
For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.
Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
# README
**TikTok Followers & Following Scraper** exports the **followers list** or the **following list** of any public TikTok account β no TikTok login, cookies or API key. Every row is a full profile: username, name, bio, **e-mail found in the bio**, followers, following, likes, videos, **country** and **language**. **$0.50 per 1,000 profiles, no start fee.**
### What can you scrape?
- π₯ **Followers** β who follows an account, newest followers first.
- β‘οΈ **Following** β whom an account follows: the creators, brands and friends it watches.
- π **Both lists** of many accounts in one run β each row says which account it belongs to (`ofProfile`).
- π **Country and language of every profile** β see where an audience really lives, not just how big it is.
- π§ **E-mail in bio** β pulled into its own column, ready for outreach, plus the **Instagram and YouTube** accounts linked to the profile.
- π **Monitoring mode** β schedule it daily and get **only new followers** since the last run.
Use it for influencer vetting (is the audience real and in the right country?), competitor audience research, lead generation from a niche account's followers, finding creators a brand already follows, and tracking follower growth.
### How much does it cost?
| Row | Price |
|---|---|
| **Profile** | $0.0005 β $0.50 per 1,000 |
No start fee, no proxy or compute charge on top. Error rows are never billed. **Maximum rows per run** is a hard ceiling on the bill.
1,000 followers cost $0.50; 10,000 cost ten times that. A run reads 1,000 followers in about 1.5 minutes.

### FAQ
#### Do I need a TikTok account?
No. No login, no cookies, no proxies to set up.
#### How many followers can I get?
As many as TikTok lists for the account, newest first β 3,000 followers of one account in a row are tested. Set **Results per input** and **Maximum rows per run** to control the bill.
#### Can I get only new followers?
Yes. Put a name in **Monitoring mode** (for example `nasa-daily`) and schedule the Actor: each run returns only followers it has not delivered before.
#### What about private accounts?
A private account's lists are hidden by TikTok; the run returns a free error row for it. Some public accounts hide their following list too.
#### Why does the follower count on the profile differ from the rows I get?
TikTok keeps the counter on the profile page separately from the list, and they don't always match; the rows are the list itself.
#### Is it legal?
The Actor reads public TikTok profiles only. Usernames and bios can be personal data under the GDPR β have a lawful reason to process them.
# Actor input Schema
## `profiles` (type: `array`):
Username or profile link: nasa, @khaby.lame, https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa. Add as many accounts as you like β each one is exported separately.
## `listType` (type: `string`):
Followers (who follows the account), following (whom the account follows) or both.
## `maxResultsPerInput` (type: `integer`):
Cap for each account and list: e.g. 1000 = up to 1,000 followers (and up to 1,000 following when you pick both). Newest followers come first.
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):
Stop after this many rows in the whole run β a hard ceiling on cost.
## `monitoringStoreName` (type: `string`):
Give the run a name (e.g. brand-mentions) and every later run with the same name returns only rows it has not delivered before. Empty = normal run.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"profiles": [
"nasa"
],
"listType": "followers",
"maxResultsPerInput": 100,
"maxItems": 10000
}
```
# Actor output Schema
## `rows` (type: `string`):
One row per result; error rows explain inputs that could not be read.
# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

const input = {
"profiles": [
"nasa"
]
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("blueskyscraper/tiktok-followers-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`πΎ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

echo '{
"profiles": [
"nasa"
]
}' |
apify call blueskyscraper/tiktok-followers-scraper --silent --output-dataset

}
}
}
```
The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
