# Check which TikTok accounts hide their following list

**Use case:** 

One free row per TikTok account with its exact follower, following, like and video counts and whether its following list is public, hidden or private, from TikTok's own answer (statusCode 10222 for a hidden list). A public list also gives the account it followed last, as one charged row. A handle nobody has and a private account come back as typed rows, free. Paste your list of handles.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [TikTok Followers & Following Scraper: TikTok Followers List](https://apify.com/hyperbach/tiktok-followers-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/hyperbach/tiktok-followers-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/hyperbach/tiktok-followers-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
