TikTok Profile API

Open in ChatGPTOpen in ClaudeOpen in Gemini

Public profile for a TikTok account: followers, following, video count, bio, bio link, verification and account region. Private accounts return their public shell with isPrivate: true rather than an error. That is a real answer, not a failure. Total likes received (TikTok's "hearts") is in raw, since it is a like total rather than the lifetime view count viewCount means elsewhere in the schema. Calls cost 1 credit each. A cache hit is free, and a failed or empty response is never charged.
