TikTok User Following Scraper

Get the accounts a user follows, by username, numeric user ID, or profile URL. Returns the same profile fields as User Followers for each account, 50 per page. Accounts that hide their following list return 403. Supports fetching multiple pages in a single API call (billed per page).

Features

• Real-time TikTok data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
username	string	no	TikTok username, with or without leading @ (max 100 characters). Provide exactly one of username, user_id, or url.
user_id	string	no	Numeric TikTok user ID, as returned by Search Users or User Profile. Provide exactly one of username, user_id, or url.
url	string	no	TikTok profile URL, e.g. https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok (max 500 characters). Provide exactly one of username, user_id, or url.
pages	integer	no	Number of pages to fetch, 1-1000 (default: 1). Each page returns up to 50 accounts.

Pricing

This Actor is billed per page of results — $0.006 per page.

• Results come in pages. Use the pages input to choose how many pages to fetch (1–1000); more pages means more results.
• You pay $0.006 for each page you fetch, so pages: 3 costs $0.018 and pages: 1 costs $0.006.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds, or when it fails because what you asked for was looked up and doesn’t exist, is private, or isn’t valid: that costs one page ($0.006). Other failed runs are free.
