Tiktok Followers / Following Scraper

Scrape TikTok followers or following for one or many usernames with a simple input and a clean output.

This actor is built for fast, practical lead generation and audience research workflows. Just provide a list of TikTok usernames, choose whether you want followers or following, and set how many results you want per username.

It automatically resolves each TikTok username to the internal user ID, paginates the results, retries failed requests, and returns structured profile data ready for filtering, exporting, or enrichment.

How it works

For each username you provide, the actor:

4. Deduplicates results
5. Saves the final clean output to the dataset
