👤 Douyin Profile Scraper

🚀 Export Douyin (抖音) creator profiles in seconds. 28 fields per creator, exact follower counts, total likes, verification and the latest 20 posts with their engagement, no login needed.

Douyin is China's TikTok, with hundreds of millions of daily users and a creator economy of its own. This Actor opens each creator's public profile the way Douyin's own website does and turns it into one clean row: name, Douyin ID, bio, exact followers, following, total likes received, number of posts, verification label, business or personal account, shop and live flags, and the creator's latest posts with caption, date, likes, comments, shares and saves, plus the average engagement of those posts.

Coverage: any public Douyin profile, from a few hundred followers to tens of millions. In a 12 profile cloud test every row carried exact followers, total likes and post count, and 12 of 12 came back with their latest posts (13 to 20 each). Each extra profile takes about 3 seconds after a one-time warm-up.

📋 What the Douyin Profile Scraper does

Give it creator profile links. It reads each profile and its latest posts and writes one row per creator.

• 🔗 Any profile link. www.douyin.com/user links, iesdouyin.com share links or v.douyin.com short links from the app.
• 👥 Exact audience numbers. Followers, following, total likes and post count as whole numbers.
• 🔒 Privacy by default. Emails, phone numbers, QQ/WeChat IDs and business contact handles are removed from bios and captions. IP region and location are only filled when you opt in.
• ✅ Account signals. Verification label, business or personal account, private flag, live-now flag and shop flag.
• 🎬 Latest posts. Up to 20 recent posts with caption, date, pinned flag, likes, comments, shares, saves and cover.
• 📈 Engagement averages. Average likes, comments and shares of the recent non-pinned posts, and the date of the last post.

💡 Why it matters: follower counts alone hide inactive or inflated accounts. Recent average likes and the last post date tell you whether a creator's audience is still watching.

✨ Why choose this Actor

• 🔓 No login, no cookies. It reads public profiles only, so no Douyin account of yours is ever at risk.
• 🎯 Exact numbers. Followers and likes as whole numbers, not "621.6w".
• ⚡ One warm-up, then fast. A single browser session serves the whole run: 12 profiles took 73 seconds in the cloud.
• 📈 Engagement built in. Averages from recent posts are computed for you, pinned posts excluded.
• 🧾 One row per creator. Profile and latest posts in one row, ready for a spreadsheet or CRM.

📈 How it compares to alternatives

	This Actor	Logged-in scrapers	Manual browsing
Douyin account or cookies needed	❌ No	✅ Yes, and accounts get flagged	❌ No for profiles
Exact followers and total likes	✅	✅	Rounded ("621.6w")
IP region	✅ Opt-in	✅	✅
Latest posts per profile	About 20	All posts	About 20, then a login prompt
Engagement averages	✅ Computed	Varies	Manual
Follower lists	❌ Not public	Varies	❌

Douyin shows visitors who are not logged in only the first page of a creator's posts, about 20 including pinned ones, so that is what this Actor returns. It is enough for engagement checks and posting cadence. For keyword discovery, pair it with the Douyin Search & Videos Scraper and feed its authorUrl column into this Actor.

🚀 How to use

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 credit: sign up here.
2. Open the Douyin Profile Scraper and paste creator profile links, one per line.
3. Keep "Include latest posts" on for engagement averages, or turn it off for profile-only rows.
4. Set Max Items and click Start. The first profile takes about 30 seconds, each next one about 3.
5. Download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or read it through the API.

A minimal run looks like this:

{ "profileUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAAePhr9XGmGokc2XGCYzRq7kQFv7JyzOlfZ8hThXYhBgE" }], "maxItems": 50 }

💼 Business use cases

🔍 KOL vetting

Paste a shortlist of creators and compare followers with average recent likes. A big audience with low recent likes is a warning sign before you pay for a post.

🗺 Regional targeting

Switch on Include IP region and location when you have a lawful reason to process it, then use ipLocation to keep creators in the provinces you sell to and rank them by engagement.

📊 Competitor and brand accounts

Track brand accounts weekly: followers, post count and the last post date show who is growing and who has gone quiet.

🛍 Shop discovery

Filter on hasShop and accountType to find creators and businesses that sell directly on Douyin.

🔌 Automating Douyin Profile Scraper

• ⏰ Schedules. Refresh a creator list daily or weekly.
• 🔗 Make and Zapier. Send rows to Google Sheets, Airtable or your CRM.
• 💬 Slack. Alert your team when a creator crosses a follower milestone.

• 🐙 GitHub Actions. Trigger runs from your pipeline through the API.
• 📁 Google Drive. Export each run as a spreadsheet automatically.

🌟 Beyond business use cases

• 🎓 Research. Study how Chinese creators grow and how often they post.
• 🙋 Personal. Keep an eye on the creators you follow.
• 🤝 Non-profit. Map public voices on a social topic by region.

🤖 Ask an AI assistant about this scraper

Paste this page into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and ask things like "Which creators have the best likes per follower?" or "How do I flatten the latestPosts column into its own sheet?".

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔑 Do I need a Douyin account or cookies?

No. Profiles are public, and the Actor reads them the way Douyin's own website does for a visitor who is not logged in.

🔗 Where do I find a profile link?

Open the creator on www.douyin.com and copy the address (www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAA...). Share links from the app (v.douyin.com/...) work too. The Douyin Search & Videos Scraper also returns authorUrl for every post it finds.

🎬 Why only about 20 latest posts?

Douyin shows visitors who are not logged in only the first page of a creator's posts. The row also carries postCount, the creator's true total.

📈 How are the averages calculated?

From the latest posts in the row, leaving out pinned posts, because pinned posts are often old hits that would inflate the average.

📍 What is the IP region?

The province or country Douyin shows under the creator's name (IP属地), based on where they post from. It is personal data, so ipLocation and location read Not Requested unless you switch on Include IP region and location and have a lawful reason to process them.

🔒 Are contact details included?

No. Emails, phone numbers, QQ/WeChat IDs and labelled business handles (for example 商务合作：xxx) found in bios and post captions are always replaced by [removed]. The Actor never delivers contact details.

🏷 Why does a product code in a bio show as [removed]?

For privacy, a standalone ID made of letters and digits in a bio (for example a WeChat ID written on its own) is treated as a possible contact handle and removed. That means a product or model code such as RTX4090 in a bio may also appear as [removed]. Only bios are affected: post captions keep such codes.

🔢 Are follower counts exact?

Yes, whole numbers straight from Douyin. If Douyin's main route ever refuses a request, the row falls back to Douyin's older public route, where followers are rounded to the thousand; dataSource tells you which one answered.

🔒 What about private accounts?

The profile numbers are still returned and isPrivate is Yes, but a private account has no public posts to list.

🧾 Am I charged for errors?

No. An invalid or deleted profile is written as an error row for transparency and never charged.

🛡️ Do I need a proxy?

No. The Actor runs without one by default, and if Douyin does not answer it retries once through a residential exit by itself.

🆔 Can I search by Douyin ID or name?

Not in this Actor. Find creators with the Douyin Search & Videos Scraper, then pass its authorUrl here.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Use the Apify API, the JavaScript and Python clients, webhooks, or ready-made integrations for Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Sheets, Airbyte and more to send Douyin profile data wherever you need it.
