TikTok Profile Scraper

TikTok Profile Scraper turns public TikTok usernames or profile URLs into one dataset record per creator. Influencer marketers, talent scouts, and lead-gen operators receive followers, bio, decoded bio link, verification, video count, hearts, a recent-video engagement rate, and a derived Influencer Score from 0 to 100, with source_url and scraped_at on every row. Public profiles only; no login. Influencer Score is a derived heuristic from public stats, independent of TikTok's own ranking.

Best fit for this Actor

• Start with public TikTok usernames or https://www.tiktok.com/@handle URLs when the job is creator vetting and you want one row per creator.
• Use scrapeRecentVideos so engagement rate can be computed from recent public video stats when TikTok exposes them.
• Continue with TikTok Trending Videos Scraper when you want current public TikTok videos on a topic, then pass creator handles into profiles.

Creator vetting workflow: from a shortlist to a partnership decision

An influencer manager starts with ten public handles from a campaign brief. They submit those values in profiles, keep recent video stats on, and read one dataset row per creator. follower_count, engagement_rate, influencer_score, and bio_link decide who is worth outreach. They export the dataset, keep source_url and scraped_at for provenance, and schedule the same input when the shortlist needs a fresh snapshot.

Quick start input

{
  "profiles": [
    "example.creator",
    "https://www.tiktok.com/@sample.studio"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "scrapeRecentVideos": true,
  "maxVideosPerProfile": 12
}

profiles accepts bare usernames, @handles, or full profile URLs. maxVideosPerProfile defaults to 12, one public profile page of recent videos for engagement.

Input reference

Field	Type	What it controls
profiles	array of strings	Public TikTok usernames or profile URLs to turn into creator rows. Required.
maxResults	integer	Cap on profile rows processed from the top of the list. Default 10, maximum 10000.
scrapeRecentVideos	boolean	Collect recent public video stats so engagement rate can be computed. Default true.
maxVideosPerProfile	integer	How many recent public videos to collect per creator. Default 12, maximum 100.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings for public profile requests. Default uses Apify Proxy.

What data you receive

One dataset item represents one public TikTok creator. Useful fields: username, display_name, bio, bio_link, follower_count, following_count, heart_count, video_count, verified, is_private, engagement_rate, avg_views_per_video, influencer_score, recent_videos, profile_url, source_url, scraped_at.

Influencer Score (0–100) is computed from public profile stats: follower tier (0–30), heart-to-follower ratio (0–20), verified badge (0–10), video activity (0–20), and recent engagement rate (0–20). It is a derived heuristic, independent of TikTok's own ranking. When TikTok withholds the recent-video list, recent_videos is [], engagement_rate is null, and the score still uses the remaining profile components.

  "scraped_at": "January 15, 2026 12:04 UTC",
  "source_url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@example.creator"
}

scraped_at is the collection time for that observation. source_url is the public profile URL used for the request.

Replace $APIFY_TOKEN with your secret Apify API token. The Actor slug is khadinakbar/tiktok-profile-scraper.

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~tiktok-profile-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor('khadinakbar/tiktok-profile-scraper').call({
    profiles: ['example.creator', 'sample.studio'],
    maxResults: 10,
    scrapeRecentVideos: true,
    maxVideosPerProfile: 12,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

After the Actor reaches a terminal state, read the default dataset for the creator rows and the OUTPUT / RUN_SUMMARY key-value records for the terminal outcome.

Connect the workflow

When the next job is a full public video archive, transcripts, follower graphs, or downloads, continue with Clockworks TikTok Profile Scraper and use that Actor's video rows.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. Open the live Pricing tab for current event details, and use Apify's run cost controls to keep the workflow aligned with your budget.

The primary billable event is one saved creator profile. Actor start is charged from run memory, and compute or proxy usage is additional.

Best results

• Provide canonical public handles or profile URLs you already intend to vet.
• Keep maxResults matched to the shortlist so cost stays aligned with the number of creator rows.
• Schedule the same profiles list at the cadence your campaign needs so scraped_at values stay comparable.

Builder's note

I learned while wiring the extractor that TikTok often withholds the recent-video list for large public accounts, so I kept influencer_score computable from profile-level followers, hearts, video count, and verification even when engagement_rate is null. That way a creator-vetting row stays useful.
