TikTok Following Scraper — Bulk User Lists

Who does a TikTok creator actually pay attention to?

That's the question TikTok User Following Scraper answers. Give it a username (or a secUid, if you already have one) and it pages through everything that account follows — competitors, collaborators, niches — one complete profile per row.

A username (or profile URL) is resolved to a secUid automatically; pass a secUid directly if you already have one from a prior lookup. Set Max Results before scaling past a quick sample; some accounts follow thousands. Every base row includes the available bio, avatar, identifiers, region, privacy, verification, and account statistics.

When network research needs more detail, Enrich Profiles overlays each followed account with its full public web profile. TikTok's similar-account suggestions remain a separate option. The overlay favors enriched duplicates, combines statistics, and retains which source account follows the result.

Collect who a user follows

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