## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

**Measure who's watching a TikTok account: collect its follower list, paginated automatically.**

TikTok User Followers Scraper builds the audience side of a creator's follow graph. Point it at a username (or a secUid, if you already have one) and it pages through every follower record it can reach, returning one complete profile per dataset row.

### Audience input: a username or secUid, and a result cap

Provide the target user's username (or profile URL) — the Actor resolves it to a secUid automatically — or pass a secUid directly if you already have one from a prior lookup. Set Max Results to bound how much of the audience you pull back. Every base row includes the available bio, avatar, identifiers, region, privacy, verification, and account statistics.

For richer audience records, Enrich Profiles fetches the full public web profile and overlays it on the follower row. Similar-account discovery remains an independent switch and charge. Duplicate identity fields resolve to the richer profile value, statistics combine, and the originating creator remains attached to the row.

#### Collect a user's followers

Enter a username or secUid and set Max Results. Independently enable full web profiles or similar-account recommendations.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `username` | string | No | TikTok username (without @), or a profile URL (https://www.tiktok.com/@<name>). |
| `sec_user_id` | string | No | TikTok's opaque secUid for a user, from a profile lookup or resolve-IDs actor. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of items to save. Set 0 for no limit. |
| `enrichProfile` | boolean | No | Fetch the full public web profile for every result and merge it into the base row. One extra request per result. |
| `enrichSimilarUsers` | boolean | No | Fetch and add TikTok's similar-account recommendations for every result. One extra request per result. |

```json
{
  "username": "khaby.lame",
  "maxItems": 50
}
````

### Cost of an audience pull

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-result pricing. You are charged for successful dataset results according to the Actor pricing shown on the Apify Pricing tab.

Apify's free credits may cover small test runs and up to the free result allowance configured for the Actor.

Use Max Results to bound a run before scaling to larger usernames, keywords, or ID lists.

### Responsible audience-data use

This Actor extracts publicly available TikTok content. It should not be used to collect private user data. Make sure your use case complies with applicable privacy laws, TikTok's terms, and your own legal obligations. If you are unsure, consult a qualified lawyer.

### Run this Actor from code

    "maxItems": 50
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```
