TikTok Profile Scraper

Scrape TikTok user profiles by username or discover creators by keyword. For each profile it returns clean, structured data: follower / following / video counts, total likes received, bio (signature), category, verification status, region, avatar URL, and the stable account IDs (uid, sec_uid) plus the public profile URL.

Unofficial. This Actor is not affiliated with, authorized, or endorsed by TikTok or ByteDance. It is an independent tool that retrieves publicly available data via a third-party API. Use it in compliance with TikTok's terms and all applicable laws; you are responsible for how you use the retrieved data.

What it does

• Username lookup — give one or more TikTok usernames (the @handle without the @, e.g. tiktok). Each resolves to exactly one full profile record.
• Creator discovery — give one or more keywords; the Actor paginates TikTok's user search for each, returning matching creator profiles.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
usernames	string[]	["tiktok"]	TikTok usernames (handle without @). One profile record each.
searchKeywords	string[]	[]	Keywords to discover creators by. Each is paginated independently.
maxItems	integer	50	Max total profiles across all usernames and keyword searches.

Example input

{
  "usernames": ["tiktok", "charlidamelio"],
  "searchKeywords": ["fitness"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Output

One dataset item per profile:

  "uniqueId": "tiktok",

  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok",

  "verified": true,
  "region": "",
  "avatarUrl": "https://...",
  "source": "profile:tiktok"
}

Notes

• Data is sourced live; TikTok / the upstream edge occasionally rate-limits or returns a transient error, so the Actor retries with exponential backoff.
• Profiles are de-duplicated within a run by account ID.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor and press Run — the default input works out of the box.
2. Adjust the input fields below to your target (keywords, IDs, or URLs) and set maxItems to cap spend.
3. Grab results from the Dataset tab as JSON / CSV / Excel, or pull them via the Apify API and MCP from your own code.

No proxies to configure, no cookies to paste, no login — the Actor handles everything server-side.

Why teams switch to this TikTok profile scraper

Bulk-checking TikTok accounts by hand is slow; browser actors get rate-limited. This Actor reads a direct HTTP API and returns nickname, bio, follower / following / like counts, verification, and avatar as clean JSON at $3 per 1,000 profiles — no login.

What people build with it

• Influencer shortlisting — enrich handles with real follower and like totals, then filter to your tier instantly.
• Lead enrichment — turn a list of TikTok usernames into structured profile records for outreach.
• Audience mapping — size the creators in a niche before entering it.
• Brand protection — find impersonation handles using your brand name.
• Reporting — snapshot creator stats over time to measure growth for partnerships.

Tips for better results

• Usernames work with or without @.
• Follower and like counts are numeric, so tier filtering is one line of code.
• Chain into TikTok User Posts to pull each creator's videos once shortlisted.

FAQ

How am I billed? Pay-per-result: a fixed price per row returned, with no separate platform/compute charge. Caps like maxItems keep spend predictable.

Can I run it on a schedule or call it from my app? Yes — use Apify Schedules, the REST API, the JavaScript / Python clients, or the MCP server. See the API tab.

Is this affiliated with TikTok? No. It's an independent tool that collects publicly available data. Use it in line with the platform's terms and applicable law.
