Which TikTok scraper to use
This page covers one creator's data from their profile, and lists of creators from search. The other TikTok pages are the same extension aimed at one job:
| You want | Open this on TikTok | Use |
|---|---|---|
| One creator's videos, with their follower count, total likes and bio | Their tiktok.com/@handle page | This scraper (Videos) |
| A list of creators for a keyword | A search, then the Users option | This scraper, or the TikTok Search Scraper |
| Who follows a creator, or who they follow | Their profile, then Followers or Following | TikTok Followers Scraper |
| The videos under a hashtag | tiktok.com/tag/... | TikTok Hashtag Scraper |
| The comments under one video | The video itself | TikTok Comments Scraper |
What a profile run gives you
TikTok has no "profile card" export of its own. What a profile page does give is the creator's videos, and every video row carries the creator's details:
- The creator: handle, display name, bio, follower count, total likes and verified badge, repeated on each row so any single row answers "who is this".
- Each video: link, caption, hashtags, sound, duration, post date, and views, likes, comments, shares and saves.
TikTok doesn't send a following count or a video count with these rows, so neither is in the file. To see who a creator follows, pick Following on their profile; TikTok shows visitors about 30 accounts from that list.
Getting the data you want
One creator's recent output. Open their profile, pick Videos, sort by Latest and choose 50. That is enough to see posting rhythm and typical views.
One creator's best videos. Sort by Popular instead. The run follows TikTok's own Popular tab for that profile.
Many creators in a niche. Search the niche keyword on TikTok, pick Users, and choose 50, 100 or 250. Each row is one creator with bio, followers, total likes, verified badge and their rank for the keyword. If a creator wrote an email in their bio, it lands in its own Emails column.
Comparing creators. Run each profile in turn. The columns are the same every time, so the files stack into one sheet.
Working with the file
- Engagement rate per video. (Likes + Comments + Shares) / Views compares videos of different reach. Divide average views by Creator Followers to see how much of the audience a creator actually reaches.
- Growth. Run the same profile again a week or a month later. The change in Creator Followers and Creator Likes between the two files is the growth.
- Duplicates. Running the same profile twice returns overlapping videos. Remove duplicates on the video ID.
Exporting a row you already exported costs nothing. For a longer walkthrough, see How to Scrape TikTok Profiles.
