FAQ

Can I scrape multiple TikTok users at once? Yes — add multiple handles to the usernames array. Each one is processed sequentially with a short delay to avoid rate limiting.

How many followings can I fetch per username? Up to the public total reported by TikTok. The scraper logs the total available count so you can set maxFollowings accordingly.

How do I know which target each following belongs to when scraping multiple usernames? Every row contains a requestedUsername field with the handle you queried, so the dataset stays joinable even when you batch many usernames.
