TikTok Username Checker - Handle Availability

Check whether TikTok usernames are available or already taken, in bulk. Paste up to 2,000 handles and get a clear available / taken answer for each one, details about who owns the taken ones, and optional suggestions of free alternatives for your brand or creator name.

What you get

One row per username with:

• Status: available, taken or invalid_format (breaks TikTok's username rules)
• Owner details for taken handles: user ID, display name, followers, video count, verified and private flags, account creation date
• Alternative suggestions (optional): for taken names, common variations such as name_, thename, name.official, namehq and name2026 are checked too, with isAlternativeFor linking them back to the original
• Format validation: handles that are too long, too short, end with a period or contain invalid characters are flagged for free

Use cases

• Brand launches: find out if your brand name is free on TikTok before you announce it
• Creator handle hunting: test dozens of name ideas at once and keep only the free ones
• Cross-platform name checks: pair it with other username checkers to pick a handle that's free everywhere
• Brand protection: monitor whether squatters have registered variations of your name
• Agencies: check handles for many clients in a single run

How to use

1. Enter the usernames you want to check, one per line (the @ is optional)
2. Optionally turn on Suggest available alternatives and choose how many variations to try per taken name
3. Run the actor. Results appear in the Dataset tab
4. Filter by available = true and export to CSV, Excel or Google Sheets

Output example

[
  { "username": "mybrandname", "status": "available", "available": true, "isAlternativeFor": null, "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@mybrandname" },

Pricing

You pay per username checked, whether it's available or taken. Suggested alternatives are billed as checks too. Invalid usernames and anything skipped are free.

Free Apify plans can check up to 20 usernames per run (3 runs a day). Upgrade to a paid plan to remove these limits.

FAQ

Is "available" guaranteed? It means no TikTok account, including banned or unavailable ones, currently uses the handle. TikTok also reserves some names (well-known brands, recently freed handles), so its sign-up screen has the final word.

What are TikTok's username rules? 2 to 24 characters, letters, numbers, underscores and periods only, not ending with a period. Usernames are case-insensitive.
