Free plan limit

Free Apify users get up to 50 results per run. Paying users are not affected and receive results normally.

This limit was set by the Actor developer, not by Apify. To remove it and receive unlimited results, upgrade to any paid Apify plan: https://apify.com/pricing

When a free plan run hits the cap, the Actor finishes successfully (status SUCCEEDED) and the run's status message explains what happened. No error is raised, so the first 50 results are fully usable as normal.

Part 1: Public-facing overview

Why this Actor

Combined-endpoint atomic Actor: input a TikTok handle (or many), get back full lists of followers AND who they follow. Each user record includes handle, display name, bio, and follower / following counts. This is bulk personal data - the highest GDPR exposure of any TikTok Actor in this suite. Apply data minimization, document a lawful basis, honor data subject rights, and assume regulator scrutiny.

Use cases

• Network mapping - see who follows whom in your industry
• Audience analysis - analyze the composition of a creator's audience (research only)
• Influencer-overlap analysis - find creators whose audiences overlap for cross-promotion
• Competitor analysis - see who follows competing brand accounts (with extreme care)
• Academic research - social network analysis on TikTok structures
• Lead generation - identify accounts following a topic-leader for outreach (with strict compliance)
• Talent scouting - find rising creators that established creators in your niche already follow
• Trend forensics - retrospectively check who was following a creator before a viral moment

Workflow

1. Pick a competitor or aspirational creator in your niche.
2. Run this Actor with their handle (or pass several handles for a bulk run).
3. Get the follower list, the following list, or both.
4. Enrich the resulting profiles via the TikTok User Search Actor for outreach-ready records.
5. Cross-reference with the TikTok Audience Geography Actor to see where the audience actually lives.

How this compares

Option	Price tier	TikTok account ban risk	Bulk scale	GDPR position
This Actor	Pay-per-event on Apify	None (no login required)	Up to 50,000 users per run	User is data controller; Actor is software vendor
Clockworks-style add-ons (approx $4 / 1k)	Per-record	None	Medium	Opaque - varies by vendor
Cookie-based scrapers	Free / DIY	High (your account can get banned)	Low / brittle	Often non-compliant; relies on a logged-in session
Manual export from TikTok	Free	None (no automation)	Tiny (a few hundred at a time)	You are still the data controller

Quick start

1. Click Try for free on this Actor's page
2. Enter one TikTok handle (without the @) in handle, or many in handles
3. Run the Actor
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or XLSX, or pull via the Apify API

Inputs overview

Input	Type	Required	Description	Example / allowed values
handles	string[]	Yes	One or more TikTok handles and/or full profile URLs, one per line. Each entry can be a bare handle, an @handle, or a https://www.tiktok.com/@handle URL. Multiple entries are processed sequentially with per-handle error isolation.	["stoolpresidente", "https://www.tiktok.com/@barstoolsports"]
get_followers	boolean	No	Include followers list. Default true.	true
get_following	boolean	No	Include following list. Default true.	true
max_users_total	integer	No	Hard cap on total users returned per run (across all handles). Default 5000, max 50000.	5000
max_pages_followers	integer	No	Max pages of followers to fetch, per handle. Default 50.	50
max_pages_following	integer	No	Max pages of following to fetch, per handle. Default 50.	50

Handles and URLs

Each handles entry can be a bare handle (stoolpresidente), an @handle (@stoolpresidente), or a full TikTok profile URL (https://www.tiktok.com/@stoolpresidente). The Actor normalizes everything to a clean handle internally - paste whichever form is easier for your workflow.

Bulk mode

Add several entries to handles to scrape multiple creators in one run. Each entry is processed sequentially. If one fails (private account, deleted, network blip), the Actor records the failure as an error row and continues with the rest - one bad entry never crashes the whole run. The max_users_total cap applies to the run as a whole, while max_pages_followers / max_pages_following apply per handle.

Performance note

When a numeric user_id is available internally, the Actor uses it transparently for the followers lookup because it is significantly faster than handle-based lookup. The following lookup only supports handle. You always supply a handle - the optimization is invisible to you.

FAQ

Q: Is this legal? A: Your downstream use of the returned data is your responsibility - see the full Terms of Service and the Actor-Specific Addendum below for details.

Q: Do I need any third-party account? A: No. UnseenUser holds the underlying credentials. You only need an Apify account.

Q: What about TikTok's anti-scraping enforcement? A: TikTok's Terms restrict automated extraction. Your downstream use must comply with TikTok's Terms.

Q: What if TikTok sends a cease-and-desist? A: Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease using this Actor immediately.

Q: Can I use this data to train AI? A: No. TikTok's Terms explicitly prohibit AI training on TikTok data, and creators retain copyright in their content.

Q: What about minors? A: TikTok has many under-18 users. This Actor's Terms strictly prohibit using data of users you know or suspect are minors. See Part 4 (Actor-Specific Addendum) below.

Q: What if the target user has 10M followers? A: The Actor still works, but you should plan around max_users_total (hard maximum is 50,000 per run). To pull a larger network, run the Actor in multiple sessions with paging.

Q: What is the maximum per run? A: 50,000 users per run, 5,000 by default. Free plan: 50 items per run.

Q: Are there rate limits? A: The Actor performs internal retries with exponential backoff on transient failures, so most runs need no tuning.

Q: Handle vs user_id, which should I use? A: This Actor only accepts handles as input. The followers lookup is faster internally when a numeric user_id is available, and the Actor uses it transparently when possible. The following lookup only supports handle.

Q: Can I run this on multiple creators at once? A: Yes. Pass them all in handles. The Actor processes them sequentially with isolated error handling - one failing handle does not stop the others.

Q: What if the target profile is private? A: Private profiles do not expose follower / following lists publicly. The Actor will record the failure as an error row and move on.

Version: 4.0 Effective Date: May 5, 2026

---

0. ACCEPTANCE BY USE - IMPORTANT

Read this section first.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "you," "your") and UnseenUser, the Publisher of this Apify actor ("UnseenUser," "the Publisher," "we," "us," "our").

PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

Before using the Actor, please understand the technical architecture of the service:

The Data Flow

You (User) -> Apify Platform -> Actor (software) -> Third-Party API -> Source Platform
                                                            |
You (User) <- Apify Platform <- Actor (software) <- Third-Party API

What Each Party Does

• You (the User): Run the Actor on the Apify platform with input parameters you choose
• Apify: Operates the cloud infrastructure that hosts and executes Actors. Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service.
• The Publisher (us): Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to a third-party API and returns the API's responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through.
• Third-Party API Provider: Independent third-party company that operates scraping infrastructure and returns data from source platforms.
• Source Platform: LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Linktree, etc. These are the platforms whose publicly visible data is accessed by the Third-Party API Providers.

Why This Matters

Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a software user to a software vendor. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain).

---

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace:

• Apify's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify)
• Third-Party API Provider Terms of Service (governing the underlying data infrastructure)
• Source Platform terms (LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) governing the public data accessed
• Applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects

These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum published in each Actor's individual listing ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies.

---

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 What the Actor Is

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. Each Actor:

• (a) Accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform
• (b) Translates that input into HTTP requests to a third-party API
• (c) Receives HTTP responses from that third-party API
• (d) Returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform

The Actor's source code is hosted on Apify's infrastructure. The Actor runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor.

1.2 What the Actor Is Not

The Actor is not:

• (a) A scraping tool - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts
• (b) A direct connection to any source platform - connections to source platforms are made by the third-party API provider
• (c) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns
• (d) A licensed access channel to LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta, Linktree, or any other source platform
• (e) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform

1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role

The Publisher's role is limited to:

• (a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code
• (b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store
• (c) Maintaining the Actor (updating it when API providers change schemas)
• (d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism

The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent.

1.4 The Third-Party API Provider's Role

The third-party API provider is an independent company. They:

• (a) Operate the actual data scraping infrastructure
• (b) Maintain relationships with source platforms (or accept the operational risk of accessing public data without such relationships)
• (c) Provide their own Terms of Service governing their operations
• (d) Are responsible for compliance obligations relating to the data collection itself

The Publisher is a customer of the provider. The Publisher is not their agent, partner, or representative.

• (b) Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via UnseenUser's Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser)
• (c) Cooperate with the Publisher as needed to mitigate
• (d) Not assert against the Publisher any claim arising from your inability to use the Actor for that Source Platform

---

6. DATA PROTECTION - REFLECTING ACTUAL ARCHITECTURE

6.1 Roles Under Privacy Law

For purposes of GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law (PPL) including Amendment 13, and equivalents:

• You (the User) are the Data Controller of any personal data you obtain through the Actor and subsequently process for your own purposes
• The third-party API provider is the entity that collects data from source platforms - they bear the responsibilities of data processors or controllers (depending on context) for the collection itself
• The Publisher acts solely as a software vendor, not as a data controller or processor, because the Publisher does not store, retain, or substantively process personal data - the Actor merely passes API responses through

6.2 No Data Retention by the Publisher

The Publisher confirms:

• (a) The Publisher does not maintain a database of personal data obtained through the Actor
• (b) The Actor passes data from the third-party API directly to you on the Apify platform - data does not flow through the Publisher's infrastructure
• (c) Apify's standard execution and operational logging may include limited information about Actor runs (input parameters, run duration, data volume) - this is governed by Apify's own privacy practices
• (d) The Publisher does not access, view, or analyze your Actor outputs except as needed for technical support if you specifically share them with the Publisher

6.3 Your Obligations as Data Controller

Where your use of the Actor involves processing personal data, you are responsible for:

• (a) Establishing a lawful basis for your processing (consent, legitimate interest with documented balancing test, contract, etc.)
• (b) Providing transparent notice to data subjects as required by applicable law
• (c) Honoring data subject access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability requests
• (d) Implementing appropriate security measures
• (e) Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments where required
• (f) Appointing a Data Protection Officer if your operations require one
• (g) Registering databases with applicable supervisory authorities
• (h) Honoring opt-out requests for direct marketing
• (i) Cross-border transfer safeguards where data crosses borders

6.4 Israel's Amendment 13 - User Compliance

If your use of the Actor involves Israeli residents' personal data, you must comply with the Privacy Protection Law as amended (Amendment 13, effective August 14, 2025). These obligations are yours as the data controller, not the Publisher's as the software vendor.

6.5 Sensitive Data Targeting Restrictions

You will not use the Actor to specifically target, profile, or build datasets focused on:

• Health or medical conditions
• Religious beliefs
• Political opinions
• Sexual orientation or gender identity
• Genetic or biometric data
• Criminal history
• Children under 16

---

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 Actor Code

The Actor's source code, schemas, documentation, and branding are owned by the Publisher. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Actor for permitted purposes during your active subscription/run with Apify.

7.2 Output Data

The Publisher claims no ownership over the public data the Actor returns. Source Platforms may have copyright, database rights, or other rights in their data; data subjects may have copyright in user-generated content. Your use of output data must respect these rights independently.

7.3 Restrictions

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or reuse the Actor's code in a competing actor.

7.4 Feedback

Feedback you provide may be used by the Publisher to improve products without compensation to you.

8. PRICING AND PAYMENT

8.1 Apify Platform Billing

Pricing is administered through Apify's pricing models. Apify processes all payments. Apify's payment terms govern refunds and disputes.

8.2 Pricing Changes

The Publisher may change Actor pricing with at least 14 days' notice via the Actor's Apify listing.

8.3 No Refunds for Misuse

If your access is suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms, you forfeit any unused balance and are not entitled to refunds.

---

9. SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES

9.1 No Uptime Guarantee

The Actor depends on:

• (a) The Apify platform
• (b) The underlying third-party API provider
• (c) Source Platforms' continued public accessibility

Any of these may change behavior, restrict access, or become unavailable without notice. The Publisher makes no uptime guarantees.

9.2 Service Discontinuation

The Publisher may discontinue any Actor at any time. Reasonable notice will be provided when feasible.

---

10. DISCLAIMERS

10.1 "AS IS" Service

THE ACTOR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY OF DATA.

10.2 No Representation of Lawfulness

The Publisher makes no representation that your specific use of the Actor or the data it returns is lawful in your jurisdiction or under any Source Platform's terms. The burden of determining lawfulness for your use case is yours.

---

12. INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Your Indemnification of the Publisher

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Publisher from any:

• Claims arising from your use of the Actor
• Claims arising from your violation of these Terms
• Claims arising from your violation of any law (including privacy law)
• Claims arising from your violation of any Source Platform's Terms of Service
• Claims arising from your processing of personal data obtained through the Actor
• Reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of defending such claims

12.2 Defense

The Publisher may assume defense at your expense. You will cooperate with the Publisher's defense.

12.3 Scope

The indemnification covers reasonable, foreseeable third-party claims arising from your use. It does not extend to:

• Claims arising from the Publisher's gross negligence or willful misconduct
• Claims regarding the Actor's source code itself (those are the Publisher's responsibility)
• Claims regarding the third-party API provider's data collection (those are their responsibility)

---

Part 4: Actor-Specific Terms of Service Addendum - TikTok Followers & Following Scraper

This addendum supplements the Master Terms of Service V4.0 above. By running this Actor, you accept both the Master ToS and this addendum.

A. Architectural Disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, calls the underlying followers and following endpoints, and returns the response data to you on the Apify platform. UnseenUser does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned. The data flows from the third-party API through Apify's runtime directly to you.

B. Nature of Data Returned

This Actor returns two lists per run:

1. Followers - every user following the target creator
2. Following - every user the target creator follows

Each user includes uid, unique_id (@handle), nickname, follower_count, following_count, signature / bio, and avatar URLs.

Where the Actor's output includes individual people's names, photos, contact details, or content authored by them, that data constitutes personal data subject to GDPR, CCPA, Israeli Privacy Protection Law (including Amendment 13), and equivalent privacy laws in your downstream processing - but only in your hands as the data controller, not in UnseenUser's hands as the software vendor.

C. Permitted Use Cases

You may use this Actor for the following purposes (non-exhaustive list):

• Network mapping - see who follows whom in your industry
• Audience analysis - analyze the composition of a creator's audience (research only)
• Influencer-overlap analysis - find creators whose audiences overlap for cross-promotion
• Competitor analysis - see who follows competing brand accounts (with extreme care)
• Academic research - social network analysis on TikTok structures
• Lead generation - identify accounts following a topic-leader for outreach (with strict compliance)

D. Specifically Prohibited Uses

In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT:

• Mass cold-DM every follower in the returned list - even with personalization, this is spam under most regimes
• Sell follower lists as a product - clearly data broker activity, regulatory red line
• Aggregate follower lists across many target accounts to build a comprehensive "TikTok user database"
• Use follower lists to target individuals for harassment, brigading, or political pressure
• Use follower data to identify minors and add them to commercial outreach lists
• Build "who-follows-whom" surveillance tools tracking specific individuals over time
• Resell follower data as a substitute for TikTok's official analytics tools
• Use follower lists to identify and target users with content that violates their content preferences (radicalization, deceptive marketing)

E. Platform Terms of Service Considerations

TikTok's Terms of Service prohibit automated extraction. Bulk follower-list extraction is the highest-sensitivity TikTok scraping operation. If TikTok or a regulator issues a cease-and-desist, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease use IMMEDIATELY.

F. HIGHEST GDPR EXPOSURE OF ANY ACTOR IN THIS SUITE

This Actor returns bulk lists of named individuals' personal data. This is the highest-risk category under:

• GDPR - Article 6 (lawful basis), Article 14 (transparency to data subjects you did not collect from), Article 9 (if any user's profile reveals special categories), Article 22 (automated decisions)
• Israeli Privacy Protection Law Amendment 13 - bulk personal data processing, statutory damages of NIS 10,000 per data subject without proof of harm
• CCPA / CDPA / etc. - opt-out rights, data sale prohibitions, data broker registration requirements
• California Delete Act - effective 2026, specifically targets follower-list-style data aggregation

If your downstream use cannot survive regulatory scrutiny under one of these frameworks, do not use this Actor.

G. Lawful Basis Requirements - Specifically

For GDPR-covered processing, you MUST:

1. Document lawful basis - typically Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interest with a completed Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA)
2. Complete the LIA balancing test - ask: would the average TikTok user reasonably expect their follower-list inclusion to enable commercial outreach? Recent EU DPA decisions increasingly say NO
3. Issue Article 14 transparency notices - when you collect personal data from a source other than the data subject, you must inform them within a reasonable period (1 month or first contact)
4. Honor Article 21 right to object - for direct marketing, this is ABSOLUTE - not subject to a balancing test
5. Implement data minimization - store only what you actually need (e.g., signal "follows X" rather than full user records)
6. Set retention limits - do not retain follower lists indefinitely

H. The Data Broker Question

A follower list across MANY accounts IS a data broker asset. California's data broker registration requirements (effective 2024+) apply if you:

• Collect personal data from a source that is not the consumer
• Sell or share that data

If your business model includes selling follower lists or insights derived from them, you may need to register as a data broker in California (and possibly other states). Consult an attorney.

I. Minor Protection - CRITICAL

Followers and following lists may contain minors. You MUST:

• Filter known minors from your downstream use
• Treat ambiguous-age users as minors by default for outreach purposes
• Do not aggregate minor data across multiple accounts (COPPA escalation risk)
• Delete data you discover relates to minors without parental consent

J. Algorithmic Discrimination

Using follower lists to make decisions about individuals (employment, lending, marketing eligibility) may trigger:

• GDPR Article 22 - right to human review of automated decisions
• FCRA (US) - consumer reporting obligations if used for credit/employment
• Title VII (US) - disparate impact analysis if used in hiring
• EU AI Act - high-risk AI categorization for certain uses

Do not build algorithmic decision systems on follower-list data without legal review.

K. Network Surveillance - Prohibited Pattern

Building a database that tracks specific individuals' follower / following relationships over time is SURVEILLANCE. This is prohibited even if technically permitted by the platform. Patterns to avoid:

• "Pull follower list of @target_account weekly to detect when @specific_individual follows them"
• "Build a graph database of follower relationships of 1000 named individuals"
• "Track when @rival_creator's followers change over the last 12 months"

These patterns:

• Violate the privacy interests of the people being tracked
• Create surveillance datasets that are catnip to regulators and bad actors
• Cross clearly into data broker territory

L. Endpoint Parameter Difference

Note an asymmetry in the underlying source:

• Followers lookup accepts EITHER handle OR user_id (user_id is faster)
• Following lookup accepts ONLY handle (no user_id support)

The Actor handles this transparently - you only provide a handle.

M. Aggregation Cap - Built Into Actor

To reduce regulatory exposure, this Actor implements a hard cap on results per run (default 5,000 users; max 50,000). To get more, you must run the Actor multiple times - a friction point that helps prevent accidental data broker accumulation.
