What people build with the TikTok Followers API

Audience research

See what kind of accounts follow a brand or a creator in your market.

Find partners

The accounts a big brand follows are often the creators it already works with.

Grow a creator list

Walk out from one account's following list to find more people to vet.

Quote it, then run it

1. free quote: the exact price, nothing charged

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/tiktok \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"followers","subjects":["@nba"],"direction":"following","limit":50,"estimateOnly":true}'

2. the same call, run

curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/tiktok \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"followers","subjects":["@nba"],"direction":"following","limit":50}'

Inputs

Everything you can send in one followers call. Required inputs first.

Input	Type	What it does
subjects *	text list	@handles or profile URLs. 1-5 items
direction	enum
limit	integer	1-100

What comes back

The fields of every row, always present. Nothing is guessed: a value that could not be measured is null, and the answer's coverage says why.

Field	Type
handle	string
userId	string
displayName	string
profileUrl	string
avatar	string
bio	string
verified	boolean
private	boolean
followers	integer
following	integer
videos	integer
totalLikes	integer
tiktokSeller	boolean
connectionType	string
connectedAccount	string
details	object

details is always the last field: everything else the source sent for that row, under our own field names. Its keys depend on the source that answered, so read them defensively; it is {} when there is nothing more.

A sample answer

Made-up names and values in the real field names, so you can see the shape before you spend anything.

handle	displayName	followers	following	videos	connectionType
@ravi.k	Ravi	412	830	12	follower
@lena_m	Lena	2100	410	58	follower
@sam_runs	Sam	96	240	3	follower

Pricing

Pay as you go, in US dollars, per record. No subscription, nothing expires, $5 first top-up, and every new agent starts with $0.10 free.

Request	Records	At the list price
One account	1	$0.0009
5 accounts	5	$0.0045
A full page	100	$0.09

These are per-record list prices. Some calls also carry a minimum, such as a page of search results, so a small request can cost more than the table shows. The quote ("estimateOnly": true) is free, gives the most your exact request can cost, and the charge then settles to what came back. Records that do not come back are refunded.

Try it without writing code

Open the TikTok Followers API in the playgroundThe playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.

Why this one, and not a scraper you run yourself

No login, no TikTok account, no cookies, no proxies, no browser to babysit.
When the site changes its pages, your request stays the same: keeping the reads working is our job, not yours.
A fetch that fails costs nothing: it is named in the answer with a reason, and the quote says the most a call can cost before it runs.

Questions people ask.

What does the TikTok Followers API return?

One row per account in the list: handle, display name, followers, following, video count, whether it is a follower or a following, user id and profile URL.

What do I pass in?

Up to five @handles or profile URLs in subjects, direction set to followers or following, and a limit from 1 to 100.

How much does it cost?

$0.0009 per account at the list price. A small call can carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true, which is free and is the most the call can cost. You pay for what comes back.

Why people pick API for Agents

One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
$0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
