TikTok Profile Scraper - Exact Followers, Likes, Bio

Bulk-checks TikTok profiles. For each username it returns exact follower, following, like and video counts, verified and business-account flags, whether the account is live, bio, bio link, avatar, interaction settings and the date the account was created. Useful for vetting influencer lists, tracking creator growth over time, and enriching lead lists.

For a quick one-off check without an Apify account, a free web version with a small daily limit is available at purfled.com/tiktok-follower-count.

Input

Field	Description
profiles	Usernames (nasa, @nasa), profile URLs (https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa), video URLs, or share links (https://vm.tiktok.com/..., https://vt.tiktok.com/..., https://www.tiktok.com/t/...).

{
  "profiles": ["@khaby.lame", "nasa", "https://www.tiktok.com/@duolingo", "https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeCfQN72/"]
}

• Share links are resolved to the profile they point to. A share link to a video returns the video's author.
• Duplicates are checked and charged once. @NASA, nasa and https://www.tiktok.com/@nasa count as the same profile.
• Every input gets a row. Inputs that are not TikTok usernames or links get a row with an error field.
