Where the TikTok Scraper Works
Open any of these TikTok pages and the extension detects it automatically — no URLs to paste, no configuration
Video Pages
Open any TikTok video to capture its full metadata — views, likes, shares, music, hashtags — plus the entire comment thread with replies.
Hashtag Pages
Scrape every video listed under a hashtag to map a trend: who posts, what performs, and which sounds carry it.
Search Results — Videos
Run a TikTok search and export the matching videos as structured rows instead of endless scrolling and screenshots.
Search Results — Creators
Switch the same search to Users mode and extract every matching creator — username, bio, followers, total likes, verified badge — for influencer vetting at scale.
Profile Followers
Open any public creator and export their follower list — usernames, bios, follower counts, video counts, verified status — for audience research and network mapping.
Profile Following
From the same profile, export the accounts a creator follows — a strong taste-and-network signal for influencer scouting.
For You Page (FYP)
Scrape your own For You feed to snapshot what the algorithm is pushing right now — creators, sounds, and formats — for trend research grounded in real recommendations.

TikTok Scraper FAQ
Is the TikTok scraper free?
Yes. Scraping is unlimited on every plan — you can collect unlimited videos or comments in a session and browse all of it for free. Only exporting is metered: the free plan includes 500 export credits per month, one credit per exported row. If you need more, Pro starts at $7.99/month billed yearly (or $9.99 month-to-month) with 10,000 export credits per month.
What's the best scraper for TikTok profiles and follower counts?
A browser extension that reads the profile pages you can already see is the most reliable option — cloud scrapers get blocked and the official Research API is limited to approved academics. With InsightSocial you can pull profiles with follower counts three ways: run a user search and export every matching creator (nickname, @handle, bio, follower count, total likes, verified badge), open any profile and grab its creator card, or open the followers / following list and export every account in it with follower and video counts per row. All of it lands in Excel, CSV, or JSON, free for 500 exported rows a month.
Do I need a TikTok API key or developer account?
No. The extension reads the same data TikTok already sends to your browser while you scroll, so there is no API key, no developer application, and no rate-limit paperwork. Install the Chrome extension, open TikTok, and start scraping.
What TikTok data can I extract?
Videos (URL, description, author, views, likes, comments, shares, music, hashtags, post date, duration), full comment threads including replies, creator data via user search or profile visits, and — new — the complete follower or following list of any public creator with usernames, bios, follower/video counts, and verified status. Works on video pages, hashtag pages, search results, and creator profiles.
What export formats are supported?
Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and JSON — one click each. Results also sync to your web dashboard, so you can browse, filter, and re-export them later from any device.
Is scraping TikTok legal?
Collecting publicly visible data for research and analysis is generally permitted in most jurisdictions, but you are responsible for complying with TikTok’s Terms of Service and the laws that apply to you, especially around personal data. InsightSocial only captures what is publicly shown on the pages you visit — it never accesses private accounts or hidden data.
Will TikTok ban my account?
The extension behaves like a normal reader: it scrolls the page in your own browser session and never performs actions on your behalf — no auto-liking, following, or posting. Keeping scrape volumes reasonable makes the activity look like ordinary browsing, but as with any tool, moderation is wise.
Can I export a TikTok creator's follower or following list?
Yes. On any public creator profile, pick the Followers or Following scrape type. The extension opens the modal, scrolls it for you, and captures every account with rich per-row fields (username, bio, follower count, video count, verified, private flag). See the dedicated TikTok Followers Scraper and TikTok Following Scraper pages for the full data schema.
Need to scrape other platforms?
The same extension also scrapes Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube, Reddit, and Pinterest.
