How do I get TikTok profile data with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktok/profile with the handle parameter (no @ symbol). SocialCrawl returns structured JSON with follower count, following count, total likes, bio, avatar URL, verification status, and AI-computed engagement rate.

What data does the TikTok Profile API return?

The endpoint returns public profile fields: follower count, following count, total likes, bio text, avatar URL, verification status, user id, handle, display name, and SocialCrawl's computed engagement_rate.

How much does the TikTok Profile API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can pull around 100 TikTok profiles before paying anything.

Is scraping TikTok profiles legal?

SocialCrawl reads only publicly visible profile fields — the same data anyone sees when visiting the user's TikTok page. Make sure your use case complies with TikTok's terms of service and applicable data protection laws.

Can I use the TikTok Profile API in production?

Yes. The endpoint uses the profile cache category with consistent sub-second response times after the first request, upstream retry handling, and a unified schema that does not break when TikTok updates their UI.
