TikTok Followers & Following Scraper

Extract public follower or following profile lists from TikTok profiles. Each successful relationship row includes the username, display name, bio, avatar, verification flag, follower/following counts, secure user ID, source profile, list type, and profile URL.

What is distinct

The owned TikTok User Scraper and TikTok Scraper return source-profile statistics and content. They do not return the accounts in a profile's follower or following list. This Actor is dedicated to that relationship-list extraction use case.

Input

• profiles: handles, profile URLs, or numeric TikTok user IDs.
• listType: following (default), followers, or both.
• maxItemsPerProfile: per-source cap from 1 to 1,000.
• maxRunSeconds: hard 10 to 180 second run deadline.
• fallbackToProxy: optional opt-in retry through the supplied Apify proxy configuration after a direct failure.

Direct HTTP is attempted first through a public keyless relay. No login, cookies, or API key are required for public data. Residential proxy use is not enabled by default because the live following smoke succeeded directly. TikTok may expose followers less consistently than following lists; the Actor reports a diagnostic row and does not charge when a list cannot be obtained.

Output

One dataset row per successful relationship profile:

{
  "ok": true,
  "type": "relationship_profile",
  "uniqueId": "tiktokcreators",
  "nickname": "tiktok creators",
  "followerCount": 8538100,
  "followingCount": 568,
  "sourceProfile": "@tiktok",
  "listType": "following",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok"
}

Empty input returns one labeled sample row and makes no request or charge. Diagnostic, blocked, and no-result rows are never charged. A successful row is charged once using the profile event.

Pricing

Live pricing is $0.00035 per successful relationship profile, or $0.35 per 1,000 results. It is below the lowest observed comparable at $0.40 per 1,000 and retained a positive measured margin on the direct HTTP cloud path. Empty, sample, and diagnostic rows are never charged.

Responsible use

This Actor only requests public relationship data exposed by the relay. Do not use it to collect private account data, bypass access controls, or violate TikTok terms or applicable privacy law.
