What does TikTok Followers / Following Scraper do?

TikTok Followers / Following Scraper lets you extract TikTok followers or TikTok following lists from public TikTok profiles such as tiktok.com. It accepts a simple list of profile URLs, @handles, usernames, or numeric user IDs, then collects paginated profile data into a clean dataset you can use immediately.

This Actor is intentionally focused. It does not scrape videos, playlists, comments, favorites, or search results. It is built for one job only: getting follower or following profile lists quickly, with structured output and scalable runs on Apify.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get key production advantages out of the box:

• 🚀 Run it from the UI or API
• ⏰ Schedule recurring scrapes
• 🔌 Connect it to Make, Zapier, webhooks, or custom pipelines
• 📊 Monitor runs and logs
• 💾 Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML

Why use TikTok Followers / Following Scraper?

If you need TikTok network data without extra noise, this Actor keeps the workflow simple.

Common use cases:

• 👥 Build lists of followers for creator research
• ➡️ Analyze who an account follows
• 📈 Compare audience overlap across multiple creators
• 🎯 Find prospects, influencers, or niche communities
• 🧠 Enrich lead lists or social intelligence datasets
• 🔄 Run recurring monitoring for account growth and relationship changes

This is useful for agencies, growth teams, analysts, lead generation workflows, and anyone who needs TikTok profile relationship data without having to scrape unrelated profile content.

How to scrape TikTok followers or following

Using this Actor is straightforward:

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more TikTok profile inputs.
3. Choose whether you want to scrape Followers or Following.
4. Set a maximum result count per profile, or enable Parse all available results.
5. Start the run.
6. Export the dataset or consume it from the Apify API.

This setup works well for both no-code users and developers. If you want a one-off export, run it manually in the UI. If you want automation, schedule runs or trigger the Actor from your application.

Input

TikTok Followers / Following Scraper has a deliberately small input surface. Check the Input tab in Apify Console for field descriptions and validation.

Main input fields:

• userQueries - TikTok profile URLs, usernames, @handles, or numeric user IDs
• relation - choose followers or following
• maxItems - max number of profiles to collect per source
• parseAll - ignore the limit and continue pagination until finished

Example input:

{
"userQueries":[
"https://www.tiktok.com/@taylorswift",
"@billieeilish",
"therock"
],
"relation":"followers",
"maxItems":500,
"parseAll":false
}

Output

Each dataset item represents one scraped TikTok profile from the selected followers or following list. You can download the dataset extracted by TikTok Followers / Following Scraper in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

What data can this TikTok scraper extract?

The Actor focuses on the most useful profile-level fields from TikTok follower/following results.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok followers or following?

The exact cost depends on how many profiles you submit and whether you scrape only a limited sample or paginate through the full list. In practice, this Actor is easiest to control when you start with a small maxItems value, validate the output shape, and only then scale up.

For example:

• 💸 Small test runs are suitable for checking a handful of profiles
• 📦 Medium runs work well for creator research or prospecting batches
• 🏭 Larger scheduled runs are better for recurring monitoring and enrichment pipelines

Because this Actor runs on Apify, pricing is tied to your platform usage and plan. That means you can start small, estimate consumption from real runs, then scale with scheduling, API access, and integrations once the workflow is stable.

Tips for better results

• 🎯 If you only need a sample, keep parseAll disabled and use maxItems
• ⚡ Start with one or two profiles before launching large batches
• 📚 Use followers for audience discovery and following for competitor mapping
• 🔁 Schedule repeat runs if you want to monitor network changes over time
• 🧩 Combine this Actor with the Apify API if you want to feed the data into your app or CRM
