How to Get Someone’s TikTok Followers (and What You Can Do With Them)

If you’ve ever wanted to see who follows a certain TikTok creator, TikTok doesn’t exactly make that easy… unless you know where to look.

With Scrape Creators, you can pull *thousands* of a creator’s followers, quickly, reliably, and at scale.

What You Can Get

Using our TikTok Followers endpoint, you can grab:

• Username (unique_id)
• Region (country)
• Avatar (profile picture URL)
• Biography (signature)

Example JSON snippet:
*you can't view the avatars because the url's expire after a while

The Cool Stuff You Can Do With That Data

Once you’ve got a creator’s followers, that’s just the start. Here’s where it gets interesting:

• Enrich with profile info – Use our TikTok Profile endpoint to get bios, follower counts,
• See their content – Use our TikTok Profile Videos endpoint to pull their videos to understand what they post and how well they perform.
• Audience demographics – Use our Detect Age & Gender endpoint to figure out the gender and approximate age of each follower. Combine that with the region field and you’ve got a full breakdown of where a creator’s audience is from and who they are.
• Competitor analysis – See who follows your competitors, then reach out or target similar audiences.
• Lead generation – Build marketing lists of highly engaged users in your niche.
