## FAQ

### How do I list TikTok followers with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktok/user/followers with handle or user_id. SocialCrawl returns a paginated list of followers with handle, display name, avatar URL, follower count, and verification status.

### Can I use a TikTok user id instead of a handle?

Yes. Pass user_id instead of handle for faster responses. The endpoint requires exactly one of the two — whichever you pass, the other is optional.

### How do I paginate through all of a user's followers?

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

### Can TikTok Followers API return follower counts for each follower?

Yes. Each follower includes their own follower_count so you can identify high-reach followers inside a creator's audience for influencer mapping and affiliate outreach.

### How much does the TikTok Followers API cost?

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