TikTok Profile Scraper

Export public TikTok profiles from handles or URLs, including follower and like counts, bios, verification, avatars, bio links, account settings, commerce and seller signals, profile ratios, live status, and recent video summaries when TikTok exposes them.

Use this Actor to collect TikTok creator, influencer, brand, publisher, nonprofit, or competitor profile data for creator discovery, account enrichment, influencer research, brand monitoring, and recurring profile-stat tracking. Results can be downloaded as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, RSS, or used through the Apify Dataset API.

What can it do?

TikTok Profile Scraper extracts public account metadata from TikTok profile pages and saves one dataset row per profile.

• Scrape handles or URLs: Use usernames with or without @, full profile URLs, or both.
• Collect public profile stats: Export follower count, following count, likes, video count, verification, and account metadata.
• Save bio context: Capture bio text, avatar URL, public bio link, share title, and share description.
• Optionally include videos: Add nested recent video summaries when public profile responses expose them.
• Build repeatable monitoring: Schedule the same profile list to track account-level changes over time.

Common workflows

• Influencer discovery: Build lists of public creators with profile stats, bios, avatars, and bio links.
• Creator CRM enrichment: Add TikTok profile metadata to creator, affiliate, or partnership databases.
• Brand monitoring: Track competitor or brand accounts and compare public account metrics over time.
• Lead generation: Use bio links, descriptions, and profile stats to qualify creator or business accounts.
• Reporting dashboards: Feed public follower, like, and video-count snapshots into recurring reports.
• API workflows: Use the Actor as a TikTok profile data API alternative for public account metadata.

Pricing

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. A run is charged once after valid input is accepted, then once for each profile saved. Failed or skipped profiles do not incur the profile event.

How to run it

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Add TikTok handles, profile URLs, or both.
3. Set maxProfiles.
4. Decide whether to include recent video summaries.
5. Set maxVideosPerProfile if recent videos are enabled.
6. Start the run and export the dataset.

Search tips

• Use handles for quick input: tiktok, apify, and @creator are accepted.
• Use profile URLs for precision: Full URLs help when handles are copied from a browser.
• Deduplicate account lists: The Actor processes unique profiles from combined handles and URLs.
• Track account metrics over time: Schedule the same profile list to build follower and like-count snapshots.
• Disable videos for fast enrichment: Set includeRecentVideos to false when you only need account-level fields.

Limits and caveats

• The Actor extracts publicly visible TikTok profile data only.
• It does not log in, scrape private profile data, export follower lists, or return one dataset row per video.
• Recent video summaries are opportunistic. As of July 2026, logged-out TikTok profile HTML often contains profile data but an empty video list; recentVideosAvailable makes that explicit instead of implying that zero public videos exist.
• TikTok can return verification challenges or rate limits. The Actor retries these responses with backoff; an optional proxy configuration can improve reliability.
• A mixed run with usable and skipped profiles finishes with RUN_SUMMARY.status set to PARTIAL. A run with no saved profiles also records a PARTIAL RUN_SUMMARY with skipped-input reasons so monitoring can distinguish TikTok blocking or unavailable targets from code crashes.
• Public counts may differ from the TikTok app due to caching, localization, or delayed updates.

Integrations

You can connect TikTok profile data to downstream tools:

• Export CSV or Excel to creator research spreadsheets.
• Send profile rows to a CRM or influencer database.
• Load public profile stats into BI dashboards.
• Trigger webhooks after scheduled profile monitoring runs.
• Combine profile outputs with TikTok hashtag, video, trends, and ads datasets.

Support

If a run fails, returns no data, or a field looks wrong, open an issue from the Actor page.

Please include the Apify run ID or run URL, input JSON, one example public URL, query, or input item, what you expected, and what the dataset returned. Small reproducible inputs make parsing or site-layout issues much faster to fix.

Privacy and data handling

This Actor runs with Apify limited permissions and only processes data needed for the documented run. It uses content lookup inputs and public posts, profiles, videos, comments, or channel metadata needed for the requested output to produce the output dataset and sends requests to public Tiktok Profile pages/endpoints; results are stored in Apify run storage for your account. FetchCat does not use your inputs or outputs for advertising, does not use them for model training, and does not retain them outside the Apify run except for transient support debugging when you explicitly share run details. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully, respecting the target site's terms, and avoiding unnecessary personal or sensitive data in inputs.
