TikTok Influencer Audit — Engagement Rate & Fake-Follower Risk 🔍

Before you pay a TikTok creator for a sponsorship, know what you're actually buying. This Actor turns any public TikTok profile into a ready-made vetting report: real engagement rate, posting consistency, and plain-English fake-follower risk flags, computed from the creator's own recent videos.

Most TikTok scrapers hand you a pile of raw numbers and leave the analysis to you. This one does the analysis for you.

What you get, per profile

• Follower, following, likes, video counts and account age, verified and TikTok Shop seller status
• Engagement rate — measured from the creator's actual recent videos (likes + comments + shares + saves, as a percentage of views) whenever TikTok allows that request through. When it doesn't, you still get a lifetime-average estimate built from the account's total likes and video count, so you never get an empty result
• engagementBasis on every row tells you which one you got (measured_recent_videos or lifetime_average_estimate), so you always know how strong the signal is
• Posting frequency (videos per week) and account age in days
• A risk level (low / medium / high) with the specific reasons behind it, in plain language
• Whenever the per-video data comes through: the full list of sampled videos — caption, views, likes, comments, shares, saves, posted date, music, hashtags, top hashtags used, and a no-watermark direct download link

Who this is for

• Brands and agencies vetting influencers before a paid partnership
• Talent managers benchmarking their own roster against competitors
• Marketers building a shortlist of creators for a campaign, ranked by genuine engagement rather than follower count alone
• Researchers and journalists studying influencer authenticity

How to use it

1. Paste one or more TikTok handles (with or without the @), e.g. khaby.lame, charlidamelio.
2. Set how many recent videos to sample (12 is a good default — more gives a steadier score, fewer is faster).
3. Choose whether you want the per-video breakdown and no-watermark download links.
4. Click Start. Each profile becomes one row in your results, with the full audit and, optionally, its sampled videos nested inside.

Why this beats a raw scraper for vetting work

A raw video-metrics dump tells you a creator has a million views. It doesn't tell you whether that's healthy for their follower count, whether they've gone quiet, or whether the numbers look bought. This Actor does that comparison for every profile automatically, so a five-minute manual audit becomes one click.

Reliability note

TikTok actively blocks automated traffic, and its per-video statistics endpoint is the most heavily guarded part of the site. This Actor is built to run with residential proxy, which is turned on by default in the input — leave it on for the best chance of getting live per-video stats. When TikTok blocks that specific request (which happens even with residential proxy), the Actor automatically falls back to a lifetime-average estimate computed from the same reliable profile data, so you always get a complete, usable audit row, never an empty result. Check engagementBasis on each row to see which one you got. A profile that can't be loaded at all is reported with a clear status: "blocked" row rather than failing the whole run.

Legal note

This Actor reads only information TikTok already shows publicly to any visitor, without logging in. No-watermark download links are the same links TikTok's own player uses and expire after a few hours. You are responsible for using the data and any downloaded video in line with applicable law, TikTok's terms, and each creator's rights. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok.
