## FAQ

### How do I list who a TikTok user follows with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/tiktok/user/following with the handle parameter (no @ symbol). SocialCrawl returns a paginated list of accounts that user follows with handle, display name, avatar URL, and follower count.

### What fields does each followed account include?

Each followed account includes 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 all of a user's following list?

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 followed account.

### Can I use Following to find who an influencer learns from?

Yes. The endpoint reveals the public following list for any TikTok user. Combine it with the Profile endpoint to map which creators a niche's top voices learn from and share as sources.

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

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