In the world of digital marketing and data analysis, TikTok stands as a titan of cultural influence and user engagement. Accessing the rich public data from its user profiles is crucial for everything from influencer marketing to competitor analysis. However, a significant challenge persists: TikTok does not offer a free, simple, or comprehensive public API for this purpose. This gap forces developers and marketers to rely on complex, unreliable methods to gather essential information.

Today, we’re closing that gap. We are excited to introduce the TikTok User Info API, a powerful and efficient Apify Actor designed to solve this exact problem. This tool serves as a robust, unofficial API, providing on-demand access to detailed public information from any TikTok user profile.

What is the TikTok User Info API?

The TikTok User Info API is a specialized web scraping tool built for the Apify platform. It automates the process of visiting a TikTok user’s profile and extracting key public data points into a clean, structured format. In seconds, you can retrieve a wealth of information, including:

  • User Identity: Full name, nickname, and unique user ID.
  • Profile Details: Bio text, profile picture URL, and verification status.
  • Key Metrics: Follower counts, following counts, and total hearts (likes).
  • Engagement Statistics: Total number of videos, play counts, share counts, and comment counts.

This isn’t just a data scraper; it’s a streamlined solution for turning public TikTok profiles into actionable datasets.

Who Is This For?

We built this tool for anyone who needs reliable TikTok user data without the hassle of building and maintaining their own infrastructure.

  • Digital Marketers: Vet potential influencers by analyzing their follower counts, engagement metrics, and overall profile health before launching a campaign.
  • Data Analysts: Track the growth and influence of key accounts, identify trends, and gather data for social media research projects.
  • Developers: Seamlessly integrate TikTok user data into your applications, dashboards, or internal tools without wrestling with a complex, unofficial API.

Key Benefits of Using the TikTok User Info API
