TikTok Brand Presence Mapper - Followers for Clay

🔎 What can TikTok Brand Presence Mapper do?

Give it a TikTok handle, or a company domain, and it returns that brand's TikTok account with follower, following, likes and video counts, verification status, display name and bio, in one flat row.

No login, no API key, no browser. It reads the same public profile page a logged out visitor sees.

🚫 This is not a TikTok content scraper. It returns account level presence and counts. It does not read videos, comments, hashtags or search results. Most TikTok demand on the Apify Store is for content, and this is deliberately not that.

💡 Why use TikTok Brand Presence Mapper?

It starts from a domain, and nothing else on the Store does. Every TikTok profile scraper on the Apify Store requires a handle or a profile URL as input. If you have a list of company domains, that is precisely the thing you do not have, and TikTok is the hardest platform to guess it for: measured across fifteen B2B homepages, only 4 of 14 declare a TikTok link at all, and the handles that were declared included @supabase.com and @HubSpot, neither of which is the domain stem.

It tells you when the number is rounded. TikTok rounds every count above roughly ten thousand to three significant figures: 2,000,000 and 927,300 are what the platform serves, not what the account has. tiktok_followers_exact is false on those rows so you know before you sum a column.

A blocked fetch says blocked. TikTok's bot detection returns HTTP 200 with a small page, so a naive scraper reports success and no followers. This one detects the downgrade page and reports blocked, which means unknown, not zero.

🧭 Cheap route first, expensive route only when needed

The profile page is fetched over the cheaper route first, which measured 5 of 6 on real brand handles. The sixth returned TikTok's bot detection page, and only that one is retried over residential. tiktok_fetch_route on the row tells you which one answered.

Turn escalateOnBlock off if you would rather accept the occasional blocked row than pay for the retry.

📋 What data can TikTok Brand Presence Mapper extract?

Every row carries 19 flat fields. These are the ones a buyer actually filters and sorts on.

Field	Type	Meaning
degraded	boolean	True when this row could not be produced normally, for example the company site was unreachable and no discovery could run. A degraded row is never charged.
degradation_reason	string | null	Why the row is degraded, in plain words. Null on a normal row.
company_domain	string | null	The company domain this row is about, normalized. Null when only a handle or a name was supplied. This is the join key across the whole Mamba Labs fleet.
company_name	string | null	The company name as supplied or derived. Improves search accuracy and is what the identity gate matches against.
tiktok_url	string | null	Canonical TikTok profile URL, or null when no trustworthy account was found.
tiktok_handle	string | null	The resolved handle, without the leading @.
tiktok_followers	integer | null	Follower count as TikTok reports it. Rounded by TikTok above roughly ten thousand: read tiktok_followers_exact before treating this as a measurement.
tiktok_followers_exact	boolean | null	True when the count is below TikTok's rounding floor and is therefore exact. False when TikTok rounded it, which it does to three significant figures above roughly ten thousand. Never sum a column where this is false without saying so.
tiktok_following	integer | null	How many accounts this account follows.
tiktok_likes	integer | null	Cumulative likes across the account's videos, as TikTok reports it. Rounded on the same basis as followers.
tiktok_video_count	integer | null	Number of public videos on the account. Zero is a real answer and means a registered but unused account.
tiktok_verified	boolean | null	TikTok's blue check. False means we read the page and it is not verified. Null means we could not read the page.
tiktok_display_name	string | null	The account display name as set by its owner.
tiktok_bio	string | null	The account bio text.
tiktok_bio_link	string | null	The outbound link on the account bio. When its host is the company domain, the account is the company's own and this row needed no guessing: it is the one field on a TikTok profile that is independent of both the handle and the display name, which is what makes it usable as proof.
tiktok_discovery	string | null	How the account was found: input_handle, homepage_sameas, homepage_link, search or pattern_guess. On TikTok specifically, treat pattern_guess with suspicion: measured handles include supabase.com and HubSpot, neither of which is the domain stem.
tiktok_fetch_route	string | null	Which proxy route answered: datacenter or residential. Datacenter is cheap and answers most requests; a residential value means the cheap route was blocked and the fetch was escalated.
tiktok_status	string	ok, not_found, not_extractable, blocked, identity_mismatch, auth_failed or skipped. Read this before reading any count. blocked means TikTok served its bot detection page and the answer is unknown, which is not the same as the account not existing.
run_date	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of this run. Social counts move, so a row without a date is a number with no shelf life.

⚠️ How to read these values. tiktok_video_count: 0 and tiktok_followers: 0 are real answers. They mean a registered account that was never used, which is a different qualification signal from having no account at all, and a different one again from null, which means we could not read the page.

🛠️ How to find a company's TikTok account

1. If you have the handle, put it in handle. That is the cheapest and most reliable path, and it skips discovery entirely.
2. If you only have a domain, put it in company_domain. The actor reads the company's own homepage for a declared TikTok link, then falls back to a web search, then to a pattern guess, and identity checks anything it did not get from the company itself.
3. Supply both when you can. The domain is what the identity gate checks a discovered handle against.
4. For a list, pass an array of objects with the same fields.

🧪 Using it in Clay

Add an Enrichment > Apify column, pick this actor, and map either your handle column or your domain column. Every output field arrives flat and snake_case.

If your table already holds TikTok handles from another source, map handle and you pay only for the fetch. If it holds domains, map company_domain and the actor does discovery too.

💵 How much does it cost?

Pay per event. You are charged for output, never for input.

Event	Fires when	Price
company-checked	Once per company for which the discovery cascade completed and a non degraded row was produced, whether or not a TikTok profile was found. Does not fire on a degraded row, because on a degraded row no discovery was performed.	$0.0040
profile-resolved	Once per company whose candidate TikTok URL passed the identity gate. Fires on the validation work, not on a populated count. A candidate dropped as an impersonator does not charge: the work was done and the honest answer is that there is no such profile.	$0.0030
follower-count-extracted	Once per company where a numeric follower count was read off the public page. Does not fire on not_extractable, blocked, identity_mismatch or url only runs.	$0.0025

💳 What you are billed for. A run that resolves a profile but hits TikTok's bot detection charges company-checked and profile-resolved and NOT follower-count-extracted. You are never charged for a number you did not receive.

Setting includeFollowerCounts to false resolves the URL only and never fires the extraction event.

What the same coverage costs bought a la carte: clockworks/tiktok-profile-scraper, the largest TikTok presence actor on the Store at 4,865 thirty day users, charges $0.0030 per result plus a $0.0040 follower add on, so $0.0070 for the same fields. It requires the handle or the profile URL as input. No Store actor resolves a company domain to a TikTok handle, which is the step this actor performs before it fetches anything.

⌨️ Input

Field	Type	Required	Meaning
handle	string	no	The TikTok handle, with or without the leading @, for example shopify. This is the PRIMARY input: only 4 of 14 B2B homepages declare a TikTok link, so supplying the handle is both cheaper and far more reliable than asking the actor to find it.
company_domain	string	no	Bare company domain, for example shopify.com. Used to FIND the handle when you do not have one, and to identity check a handle that discovery guessed. Supplying both is the best case.
company_name	string	no	Optional. Improves search accuracy and is what the identity gate checks a discovered account against.
includeFollowerCounts	string	no	When "true" (default) the profile page is fetched and the counts are extracted. Set "false" to resolve the profile URL only, which is cheaper and needs no proxy. Sent as a string for Clay compatibility.
skipCache	string	no	When "false" (default) a successful lookup is cached for seven days and reused. Set "true" to force a fresh fetch. Sent as a string for Clay compatibility.
escalateOnBlock	string	no	TikTok answers most requests over cheap datacenter routing and blocks a minority with a bot detection page. When "true" (default) a blocked fetch is retried once over residential, which recovers most of them at a higher cost per recovered row. Set "false" to accept the block and return status blocked. Sent as a string for Clay compatibility.

false versus null, and why the difference matters

false means we looked and the answer is no. null means we could not look, or the platform withheld it. They are never interchangeable in this output. If you filter for companies with no presence on this platform, filter on false, because null rows are unknown rather than absent and including them will overstate your list.

💡 Tips

• Supply the handle when you have it. TikTok handles are the least guessable in this family.
• Read tiktok_followers_exact before you sum. A column of TikTok follower counts is mostly TikTok's rounding above ten thousand.
• Treat pattern_guess rows with suspicion on this platform specifically. The measured real handles include supabase.com and HubSpot; the stem guess would have missed both.
• blocked is worth retrying later. It is a transient refusal, not an answer.

⚠️ Known limits

• No videos, comments, hashtags or search. This actor returns account level presence and counts. It does not scrape content. Most of the TikTok demand on the Apify Store is for content scraping, and this is deliberately not that.
• Counts above roughly ten thousand are rounded by TikTok. There is no exact figure on the page to read. tiktok_followers_exact marks every row where that applies.
• A minority of fetches are blocked. Measured at one in six on the datacenter route. The residential retry recovers most of them and blocked is the honest answer for the rest.
• Discovery from a domain is genuinely hard here. 4 of 14 B2B homepages declare a TikTok link. Expect not_found more often than on LinkedIn or YouTube, and expect it to be correct.
• Follower counts are a public vanity metric, a proxy for reach rather than a measurement of it.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account or an API key? No. This reads the public profile page.

Why is tiktok_followers_exact false on most rows? Because TikTok rounds. It serves 2,000,000 and 927,300, not the underlying integers. Below roughly ten thousand it serves the real number and the flag is true.

What does blocked mean? TikTok served its bot detection page instead of the profile. The account may well exist and have followers; we could not see them. It is not the same as not_found.

Can I pass a domain instead of a handle? Yes, in company_domain. Be aware that TikTok is the hardest platform in this family to discover from a domain, for the reasons in Known limits.

Why is this priced above clockworks/tiktok-profile-scraper? It is not, for the same fields: that actor is $0.0030 per result plus a $0.0040 follower add on, which is $0.0070. It also requires the handle. This actor resolves the handle from a domain first, and no Store actor sells that step.
