What does Douyin Profile Scraper do?

Douyin (抖音) is the Chinese version of TikTok. This Actor reads the public profile page of any Douyin creator, brand or account and returns it as one clean row.

You enter	You get
A profile link, such as https://www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAA…	That account's profile data
A share link to a profile, such as https://v.douyin.com/…	The same, resolved automatically
A sec_uid, the long ID starting with MS4wLjABAAAA	The same

Paste thousands of links in one run. Each account is returned once, even if you list it twice.

What data does it extract?

A Douyin API alternative

Douyin's Open Platform API is available only to registered Chinese entities, and its user endpoints return data only for accounts that authorise your app. Browser-based tools need a logged-in cookie that expires and a Chinese phone number to renew it.

This Actor is a Douyin API alternative for public profile data. It works without the Douyin API: no developer account, no cookie, no login, no API pricing to negotiate.

	Douyin Open Platform or cookie-based tools	This Actor
Access	Chinese business registration, or a logged-in account	Anyone
Whose data	Only accounts that authorise your app	Any public profile
Maintenance	Cookies expire and must be renewed	None
Output	API objects	Flat rows: CSV, Excel, JSON

Why use this Douyin profile scraper

Bulk lists, one row each

Paste a whole creator shortlist. Duplicates are removed and each profile is billed once.

The numbers that matter for vetting

Followers, total likes and post count give you likes per post and likes per follower at a glance, the quickest check of whether an audience is real.

IP location and verification

Douyin shows where an account posts from and whether it is a verified person or business. Both come with every row.

No start fee, and failures are free

You pay per profile delivered. Links that are wrong, deleted or banned return a free error row.

How to scrape Douyin profiles

1. On Douyin, open a creator's profile and copy the link from the address bar or the share button.
2. Open the Actor and paste your links into Profiles, one per line.
3. Press Start.
4. Export as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or read the dataset through the API.

💡 A Douyin ID (抖音号) or a nickname cannot be looked up, because Douyin's search requires a logged-in account. Use the profile link.

FAQ

Do I need a Douyin account, cookie or API key? No. It works without the Douyin API and without logging in.

Is scraping Douyin legal? This is general information, not legal advice. The Actor collects only profile information that Douyin shows publicly to every visitor, and never logs in. Profiles are personal data under laws such as China's PIPL and the GDPR, and Douyin's terms restrict automated access. Collect only what you need, do not republish personal data, honour deletion requests, and ask a lawyer before building a commercial product on the data.

Can I search by Douyin ID or nickname? No. Douyin's search requires a logged-in account. Use the profile link or the sec_uid.

Where do I find a profile link? Open the profile on douyin.com and copy the address, or use the share button in the app and copy the link. Both work.

Does it return the creator's videos? No. Douyin serves video lists reliably only to logged-in sessions. This Actor returns the profile and its totals.

Does it return followers or following lists? No. Douyin shows those lists only to signed-in users.

Does it return contact details? It returns the bio, which many creators use for business contact information. There is no separate email or phone field on a Douyin profile.

What happens with a private, deleted or banned account? Private accounts return their public fields with isPrivate: true. Deleted and banned accounts return a free error row.

Is this TikTok? No. Douyin is the separate app ByteDance runs in mainland China. For TikTok profiles, see the TikTok Email and Contact Extractor.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Daily or weekly runs over the same list give you growth history.
