🔎 TikTok User Search Scraper

🚀 Export TikTok users by keyword in seconds. 25 fields per user, page after page of search results, with exact followers, following, hearts, video count, bio, bio link and verified flag, no login needed.

Type a keyword the way you would in TikTok's own user search and get the accounts it returns as a clean table: username, nickname, profile link, avatar, bio, bio link, followers, following, hearts, videos, verified and private flags, language, seller flags and the account creation date. Every row carries a username and profileUrl that can be pasted straight into the TikTok Profile Scraper for the next step.

Coverage: in a 120 user cloud test across two queries (fitness coach and yoga) every row carried a username, followers, hearts and avatar, and 109 of 120 also carried following, videos, language and account age from the full profile page. TikTok returns about 240 users for one keyword at most, so the Actor pages through all of them and you widen a search by adding related keywords.

📋 What the TikTok User Search Scraper does

Give it one or more search queries. For each query it walks TikTok's user search results page by page, removes users it has already seen, reads each user's public profile page and writes one row per user.

• 🔎 Any query TikTok understands. Names, niches, brands, cities, hashtags.
• 📄 Real pagination. Ten users per page, page after page, up to the roughly 240 users TikTok shows for a keyword.
• 🔗 Ready to chain. username and profileUrl are valid input for the profiles field of the TikTok Profile Scraper.
• 👥 Audience numbers. Followers, following, hearts (total likes), video count and friends.
• ✅ Account signals. Verified, private, organization, commerce and TikTok Shop seller flags, live-now flag and language.
• 🎚 Filters that save money. Minimum followers and verified-only are applied before a user is delivered, so skipped users are never charged.
• 🔒 Privacy by default. Phone numbers, emails and messenger handles in bios are replaced with [removed] unless you switch them on.

💡 Why it matters: the first step of any TikTok creator project is finding the right accounts. A keyword search that returns exact numbers and a bio link turns hours of scrolling into one export.

✨ Why choose this Actor

• 📄 It really paginates. Ten users per page until TikTok runs out, not just the first page.
• 🧩 Chains into the ParseForge TikTok Profile Scraper. The shared fields (username, profileUrl, nickname, verified, followerCount, followingCount, heartCount, videoCount, signature, bioLink) use the same names; the avatar column is called imageUrl here and avatarUrl there, and "verified" is Yes or No here.
• 🎯 Full profile data in the same run. Following, videos, bio link, private flag and account age come from the profile page, not only the search card.
• 🧹 Clean values. Whole numbers, Yes or No flags and a stated value instead of a blank when TikTok withholds something.
• 🔁 No duplicates. A user found by several of your queries is delivered once.

📈 How it compares to alternatives

	This Actor	Typical keyword-search Actor
Pages of results	All pages TikTok shows (about 240 users per keyword)	Often stops at the first pages
Following, videos, bio link	Yes, from the profile page	Some fields missing
Private and verified flags	Yes	Yes
Language, seller flags, account age	Yes	Rare
Duplicates across queries	Removed	Repeated
Filters before delivery	Minimum followers, verified only	None
Bio contact details	Removed by default	Left in
Login needed	No	No

TikTok itself stops returning users for one keyword after about 240 results, and it does not expose a country field for a user. Use several related keywords to go wider.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔑 Do I need a TikTok account or cookies?

No. The Actor reads public search results and public profile pages as a visitor who is not logged in.

📄 How many users can I get for one keyword?

About 240. TikTok stops returning results for a keyword after roughly that many. Add related keywords to collect more, duplicates are removed for you.

🔗 How do I use the output with the TikTok Profile Scraper?

Copy the username or profileUrl column into the Profile Scraper's profiles input. Both are accepted.

🎚 What do the filters do?

Minimum followers and verified only are applied before a user is delivered. Users that do not match are skipped and not charged.

⚡ What does "Add profile page details" change?

With it on (the default) each user's profile page is read for following, videos, bio link, private flag, language, seller flags and account age. Turn it off for the fastest run with the search card fields only; the extra columns then read Not Requested.

🔒 Are contact details in bios included?

No. Phone numbers, emails and messenger handles are replaced with [removed] unless you switch on Keep contact details in bios. Some handles written without a label can remain, so treat bios as public text.

🌍 Why is there no country column?

TikTok does not expose a user's country on the profile page a visitor sees, only the language of the account, so the Actor reports language instead of inventing a region.

🧾 Am I charged for errors?

No. A query TikTok did not answer is written as an error row and is never charged.

🛡️ Do I need a proxy?

The Actor uses residential proxies by default because TikTok answers logged-out searches from only some countries. Leave the default, or fix the country to Canada, Australia, Mexico or Brazil.

⏱ How long does a run take?

About a minute to open the search session, then a few seconds per page of ten users.

🔁 Will a user show up twice?

No. A user found by several queries is delivered once, with the first query that found them.

📉 Why do some rows say Not Disclosed?

A profile page can be unavailable for a moment. The row is still delivered with the search card fields, and the missing columns say Not Disclosed.

🔌 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 TikTok user data wherever you need it.
