Douyin Creator Scraper

What is Douyin Creator Scraper?

Douyin Creator Scraper is a Douyin influencer discovery and user-search Actor. Enter a niche, creator name, product, or brand and receive structured public account data with reported follower counts, stable IDs, verification details, and optional full-profile enrichment.

It is built for agencies, brands, researchers, and data teams that need searchable Douyin (抖音 / Chinese TikTok) creator data without configuring a login, cookies, a browser, or a proxy.

Why use this Douyin creator scraper?

• Search up to 50 terms per run. Keep the matching term in every row as sourceQuery.
• Use Douyin audience filters. Narrow discovery by follower band before results are returned.
• Use Douyin's real account filters. Choose regular, enterprise-verified, personal-verified, or all accounts.
• Buy only the detail you need. Standard search cards are cheaper; full-profile enrichment is optional.
• Export up to 34 typed fields. Audience counters are returned as exact integers, while large creator IDs stay strings so spreadsheets and JavaScript do not round them.
• Get automation-ready output. Export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, or JSONL and connect schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, or the Apify API.
• Control every run's spend. The Actor respects the maximum charge selected for the run.

How to scrape Douyin creators

1. Add one or more search terms such as 美食, 户外露营, or a brand name.
2. Choose the maximum creators per term and any follower or account-type filter.
3. Enable Include full profile details if you also need following/post counts, region, language, verification, and other observed profile fields.
4. Run the Actor and open the Creators dataset.

Input example

{
  "searchQueries": ["美食", "户外露营"],
  "maxCreatorsPerQuery": 100,
  "followerRange": "10k_100k",
  "creatorType": "personal_verified",
  "includeProfileDetails": true
}

Duplicate terms are removed before scraping. Chinese and Latin text are supported.

What data can I extract?

Each dataset item is one creator matched by one search term.

Field	Description
sourceQuery	Search term that returned the creator
uid, secUid	Numeric and stable encoded account IDs
uniqueId	Public Douyin ID or handle
nickname	Public display name
avatarThumbUrl, avatarMediumUrl, avatarLargerUrl	Documented avatar variants
avatarUrl, profileUrl	Derived preferred avatar and canonical profile link
followerCount	Follower count reported by Douyin
enterpriseVerifyReason, versatileDisplay	Search-card verification and ID display text
liveStatus	Public live-broadcast state when available
signature	Biography when available or enriched
followingCount, awemeCount	Following and published-post counts when enriched
totalFavorited	Total likes received when enriched
verified, customVerify, verificationType	Full-profile verification values when enriched
privateAccount, commerceUser	Normalized account flags when enriched
gender, region, location, language	Observed profile attributes when available
insId, twitterId, youtubeChannelId	Linked account identifiers when enriched and published
profileDetailsIncluded	Whether full-profile enrichment was enabled
scrapeTimestamp	UTC time when the row was produced

Fields that Douyin does not publish for an account are omitted.

Follower, following, post, and like counts are returned as reported integers—not abbreviated labels such as 42.8K. IDs that can exceed JavaScript's safe integer range are serialized as strings.

The output follows the published dataset schema. The example below is illustrative and does not represent a specific person or captured live row.

FAQ

Do I need a Douyin account or cookie?

No. The Actor does not ask you for login credentials or cookies.

Does the Actor search videos?

No. It searches public accounts. Use the related Trend Actor for topic intelligence, or start from a returned secUid in the Profile Actor.

Why are some full-profile fields missing?

Douyin does not publish every attribute for every account. Private accounts and account settings can also limit public fields.

Can I schedule recurring searches?

Yes. Save the input as an Apify task, attach a schedule, and use a webhook or integration to send each completed dataset downstream.
