Export the accounts a TikTok user follows. One complete profile per row, pagination handled for you.

Useful when you are mapping who a creator pays attention to -- their following list is usually short enough to collect in full, unlike their follower list.

Input

FieldUse it for
usernameUsername or profile URL of the account whose following list you want.
sec_user_idLeave blank. Resolved from the username automatically.
maxItemsCaps the run. Default 100. Set 0 for no limit.
addonProfileFetches each account's full public profile and merges it into the row. One extra request per account.
addonSimilarUsersAdds similar_users, TikTok's recommendations for each account. One extra request per account.
{
"username": "https://www.tiktok.com/@khaby.lame",
"maxItems": 0

Questions

Why does maxItems: 0 work better here than on the Followers Scraper? Because following lists are small. Most creators follow a few dozen to a few hundred accounts, which TikTok will page through completely. Follower lists run to millions and TikTok stops issuing cursors long before the end -- so 0 there means "as much as TikTok allows", while 0 here usually means the whole list.

The run finished with zero rows and no error. What happened? The secUid lookup failed. TikTok's following endpoint needs an opaque sec_user_id rather than a handle, so the Actor resolves one from your username first; when that resolution fails the run is logged and ends quietly rather than throwing. A renamed or non-existent handle is the usual cause.

Can I combine this with the Followers Scraper in one dataset? Yes. The row shape is identical and relation tells the two apart -- follower or following.

Does addonSimilarUsers work on every row? Only where the row carries a sec_user_id, which TikTok's recommendation lookup requires. Rows without one keep their base fields and skip the enrichment.
