How to use TikTok Followers Scraper

You don't need any coding experience to use TikTok Followers Scraper. Here's how to get started.

1. Create a free Apify account using your email
2. Open TikTok Followers Scraper
3. Add one or more TikTok usernames
4. Set how many followers and following profiles you want per account
5. Click Save & Start and wait for the data to be extracted
6. Download the followers and following lists in JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML

⬆️ Input

Enter the usernames of the accounts you want to scrape, and set how many followers and following profiles to return for each. All three fields are required.

Usernames accepts a handle with or without the @, or a full profile URL, so apifytech, @apifytech, and https://www.tiktok.com/@apifytech all work. To collect followers only, set maxFollowingPerProfile to 0, or set maxFollowersPerProfile to 0 if you want following profiles only.

If you don't have a list of usernames yet, discover them first. TikTok Scraper returns authorMeta.name for every video it finds, so you can collect the accounts posting under a hashtag or a search keyword. TikTok User Search Scraper takes a user search keyword and returns matching profiles in name. You can feed either list straight into Usernames.

Below is the same input in JSON. See the Input schema for every field and its description.

{
    "maxFollowersPerProfile": 50,
    "maxFollowingPerProfile": 50,
    "profiles": ["apifytech"]
}

⬇️ Output and TikTok followers export

Results are saved to a dataset, which you can preview and download from the Output tab in JSON, Excel, XML, or CSV.

Each item is one connection: authorMeta is the profile that was found, connectedTo is the account you asked about, and connectionType tells you which direction the relationship runs. Below is a single follower of apifytech, trimmed to the most useful fields. See the Output schema for every field and its description.

    "authorMeta": {
        "name": "ma_runka",
        "nickName": "Maru_nka",

Error items

When the scraper cannot retrieve data for a given profile, for example when the account is private or does not exist, it pushes an error item to the dataset instead of silently skipping it. Normal output items are never affected; you can tell them apart by the presence of an errorCode field.

Error item structure

{
    "error": "This profile/hashtag does not exist.",
    "errorCode": "NOT_FOUND",
    "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@someuser",
    "input": "someuser"
}

Error codes reference

PROFILE_FOLLOWERS_EMPTY	Profile has no followers
PROFILE_FOLLOWING_EMPTY	Profile is not following anyone
