TikTok User Search Scraper - Followers, Bio Links & Emails

What does TikTok User Search Scraper do?

TikTok User Search Scraper searches TikTok's Users tab by keyword and returns one row per TikTok account: handle, display name, bio, bio link, e-mail addresses written in the bio, exact followers, likes and video count, verified badge, seller and private flags. Built for influencer marketers, agencies, brand and e-commerce teams who need creator and brand shortlists by niche without scrolling TikTok by hand.

TikTok account search · TikTok creator finder · TikTok influencer search · find TikTok users by keyword

• Accounts, not videos: one row per account TikTok lists for your keyword, in TikTok's own order (searchRank), several keywords per run.
• Exact counts: TikTok's search shows rounded followers ("2.3M"); the profile details add the exact number (2,274,668), following, video count and average likes per video.
• Bio contacts: the bio link and every e-mail address written in the bio (bioEmails), ready for outreach.
• Shortlist before you pay: follower band, verified-only, has-e-mail, has-bio-link, strict match and bio keywords run before an account is written.
• Monitor mode: schedule it and get only accounts that are new for a keyword since the last run.
• No login, cookies or TikTok API key: you type keywords; the actor opens TikTok's public search like a signed-out visitor.
• Export anywhere: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS; schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack.
• Works with AI agents: call it through the Apify API or the MCP server; compact trims rows for LLM context windows.

Input JSON

{
  "searchQueries": ["fitness coach", "personal trainer"],
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 100,
  "minFollowers": 10000,
  "maxFollowers": 500000,
  "withEmailOnly": true,
  "includeProfileDetails": true
}

Put one niche per TikTok search query

TikTok's account search matches handles, names and bios loosely, so fitness coach and personal trainer return different accounts. Run several short queries rather than one long one. Do: ["fitness coach", "personal trainer", "pilates instructor"] · Don't: ["fitness coach personal trainer pilates"] (TikTok then lists accounts that match a few of the words).

Pick the TikTok search market before you compare runs

TikTok US, TikTok EU and TikTok's global cluster keep separate account indexes: the same keyword lists different accounts in each (measured: "dog trainer" listed 67 accounts on TikTok US and 207+ on TikTok EU, 9 of them in common). Every row says which one answered in searchMarket. Keep the same market for runs you want to compare; monitor mode keeps the first run's market for each query by itself.

Use the follower band to shortlist TikTok creators

Filters run on every account TikTok lists, so minFollowers: 10000 with maxResultsPerQuery: 50 reads further down the list until 50 accounts in your band are found (or the list ends). Followers in TikTok's search answer are rounded ("53.9K"); with profile details on, the band is checked on the exact count.

Every account becomes one dataset item. Here are 8 of the accounts a run returned for coffee roasters:

How can I use TikTok account data?

• 🎯 Influencer marketing teams - shortlist micro-creators per niche with minFollowers: 10000, maxFollowers: 200000, then read avgLikesPerVideo to spot accounts whose audience still engages.
• 📧 Agencies and outreach - withEmailOnly: true returns creators who publish a business e-mail in their bio; bioLink gives the link-in-bio page for the rest.
• 🛍️ E-commerce and TikTok Shop sellers - search your product category and read ttSeller and commerceUserInfo.category to map competing shops and affiliate creators.
• 🏢 Brands and PR - list every account that uses your brand name (nike, gymshark) to find fan pages, resellers and impersonators; verified separates the official ones.
• 🤖 AI and research teams - feed signature, nickName and the counts to an LLM to classify creators by topic; compact keeps a thousand accounts inside a context window.
• 📈 Growth tracking - run the same queries weekly with monitorMode and get only the accounts that newly rank for your keywords.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok accounts?

TikTok User Search Scraper is pay-per-event (the Pricing tab always shows the live rates):

Event	Price	When it is charged
account-scraped	$0.004 per account ($4.00 per 1,000)	Each account written to the dataset after your filters
profile-details	$0.0008 per account ($0.80 per 1,000)	Add-on, on by default: each delivered account whose profile page was read

There is no start fee. Accounts removed by your filters, accounts already delivered for an earlier query, and searches TikTok did not answer are not charged.

Accounts	With profile details	Without
20	$0.096	$0.08
100	$0.48	$0.40
1,000	$4.80	$4.00

Apify platform usage (compute, proxy) is included in these prices. Measured on the platform on 2026-10-05: 20 accounts with profile details in 20-130 seconds (most of the spread is finding a TikTok session that answers); 100 accounts across two keywords in 111 seconds on the default 2 GB of memory; three keywords at TikTok's full depth (704 accounts) in about 6 minutes.

Integrations, API, scheduling & MCP

• Schedules: run TikTok User Search Scraper daily or weekly from the Schedules tab; combine with monitorMode to get only accounts that are new for each keyword.
• Webhooks: fire a URL when a run finishes - push new creators to your CRM, Slack or a sheet.
• No-code: Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack via Apify integrations.
• API: call it from Node.js or Python with apify-client - code on the API tab and the Apify API reference.
• MCP / AI agents: connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP client through the MCP tab and ask for TikTok creators in plain language; switch on compact to keep the answer small.

Limits & empty TikTok searches

• How many accounts per keyword: TikTok lists about 230-240 accounts per keyword on TikTok EU and the global cluster ("fitness coach" 231-234, "vegan bakery" 234, "realtor miami" 240) and about 60-70 on TikTok US ("fitness coach" 59, "dog trainer" 67-68, "vegan bakery" 69-70), then the list ends. Use more, narrower keywords to go wider.
• TikTok US is the moodiest index: it sometimes refuses one keyword to signed-out visitors for a few minutes (empty pages on several fresh connections in a row while other keywords are served). The actor switches to fresh sessions, retries the keyword once more at the end of the run, and charges nothing for a keyword TikTok did not answer. The default market any starts on TikTok EU / global, which answered every search measured.
• Followers without profile details are TikTok's rounded display numbers ("2.3M" arrives as 2,300,000, up to about 5% off); countsSource says which you have.
• Speed: the first accounts arrive 3-40 seconds after the page opens (TikTok often answers the very first search of a session empty, and the page's own "Try again" fixes it); each further page of 10 accounts takes a few seconds; profile details add about a second per account, 8 at a time.
• Empty dataset: your filters removed every account, the keyword has no matching accounts, or TikTok did not answer the search (the status message says which). Nothing is charged for any of them.
• Not available: an account's region / country (TikTok's public pages do not show it), phone numbers and e-mails that are not written in the bio, follower lists and videos (see TikTok Scraper).

FAQ

How many TikTok accounts can TikTok User Search Scraper find per keyword?

As many as TikTok lists: about 230-240 per keyword on TikTok EU / global and 60-70 on TikTok US. Set maxResultsPerQuery: 0 to take them all, and add more keywords to go further; dedupeAcrossQueries keeps an account that two keywords find from being delivered twice.

Does TikTok User Search Scraper return exact follower counts?

Yes, with Profile details on (the default): the follower count comes from the account's profile page (2,274,668), not from the search list ("2.3M"). Turn the add-on off for a cheaper run with TikTok's rounded counts.

Can TikTok User Search Scraper find creators' e-mail addresses?

It returns every e-mail address the creator wrote in their bio (bioEmails, 7% of accounts in our tests, including name (at) gmail (dot) com forms) and the bio link (27%). E-mail addresses that are not written in the bio are not included.

Can I run TikTok User Search Scraper on a schedule to get new accounts automatically?

Yes. Save your keywords as a task, open Schedules, pick the cadence and switch on monitorMode: each run delivers only accounts not delivered before for that keyword, and keeps the same TikTok market for it.

Can I integrate TikTok User Search Scraper with other apps?

Yes - Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack and more via Apify integrations, or use webhooks to trigger an action when a run finishes.

Can I use TikTok User Search Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. Start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules with apify-client for Node.js or Python; the API tab has ready-to-paste code.

Can I use TikTok User Search Scraper through an MCP server?

Yes. Open the MCP tab, connect your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, LibreChat...) and ask for TikTok creators in plain language; compact keeps the rows short.

Do I need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key?

No. TikTok User Search Scraper opens TikTok's public search like a signed-out visitor; you only pass keywords.

Why did my TikTok User Search Scraper run return no accounts?

In order of frequency: your filters removed every account (the status message counts them), TikTok did not answer the keyword on this run (it happens on TikTok US; run it again later or use market any), or the keyword matches no account. None of these is charged.

Why do two runs of the same keyword return different accounts?

TikTok answers from three separate indexes (TikTok US, TikTok EU, global) and tailors results to the visitor's country; searchMarket and searchRegion on every row say which one answered. Pick a fixed market in Search market to compare runs.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok data?

TikTok User Search Scraper extracts only publicly available TikTok account data; it does not log in or collect private data. Results may still contain personal data (names, bios, e-mail addresses creators publish), which is regulated by laws such as GDPR. Make sure you have a legitimate purpose before you use it.
