How do I search for TikTok users with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktok/search/users with the query parameter set to a keyword or name. SocialCrawl returns a paginated list of matching accounts with handles, display names, follower counts, avatars, and verification status.

What fields does the TikTok User Search endpoint return?

Each matching user returns the user id, handle, display name, avatar URL, follower count, verification status, and a short bio excerpt where available — all in the unified schema.

How do I paginate through TikTok user search results?

Read the cursor field from the response and pass it as the cursor parameter on your next request. Repeat until cursor is 0 or empty to collect every matching user.

Can I find verified TikTok creators with this endpoint?

Yes. Each result includes a verified boolean. Filter the response client-side to keep only accounts where verified=true to get a shortlist of verified creators for the query.

How much does the TikTok User Search API cost?

Each request costs 1 credit on the standard tier regardless of how many users are returned per page. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required.
