Search › Users

GET
/v1/tiktok/search/users

Returns TikTok accounts for a search term with username, name, avatar, followers, verification. include=profile adds bio, region, link and category.

Use it to find accounts by name or topic. Add country=KR (or US, DE, …) when you need creators in one country. The video searches, search and search/top, give you posts rather than accounts.

Metered: 20–2000 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.

Paginates by cursor — see Pagination.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

query*string

Search keyword or phrase to find TikTok users

cursor?integer

Cursor to get more users. Get 'cursor' from previous response.

trim?boolean

Accepted for compatibility; the response is already the canonical shape, so this flag has no effect.

include?"profile"

Set to profile (one token only) to fill author.bio, author.location (the ISO region), author.ext.bio_link and author.ext.business_category on every row in this one call.

Value in

  • "profile"
limit?integer

Take the top N rows of the page (1 to 30) after the search has run. On the global page it is not a page size: next_cursor still advances past the full page, so rows beyond N on this page are not returned by the next page.

Range1 <= value <= 30
country?string

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 account region to filter by (KR, US, DE, …). Omit it for the global default page. A code this endpoint does not accept is a free 400.
