Can I collect followers and following in one run?

The Actor accepts one mode per run. Run followers and following separately to collect both lists.

What is the practical minimum result limit?

Although the public form displays a minimum of 1, the version tested on August 20, 2026 skipped a request for 5 and completed a request for 50.

How much does a TikTok follower export cost?

The public listing showed pricing from $0.31 per 1,000 results. The test configuration reported $0.50 per 1,000 before discounts or Apify billing rules.

Two different questions

Received audience versus public affinities

Keeping the relationships separate prevents misleading conclusions and makes the dataset easier to use.

followers

Profiles following the target account.
Useful for audience samples and overlap analysis.
Does not prove buying intent or recent activity.

following

Accounts the target chose to follow.
Helps explore peers, sources and affinities.
Does not equal a commercial endorsement.

Multiple accountsUsernames or URLs in one run.

DeduplicationUnique profiles for each queried account.

When it helps

Three research questions

Which profiles follow multiple competitors?

Compare samples by id or sec_uid and quantify overlap.

Which regions appear in the sample?

Group region while reporting missing values and coverage bias.

Who do category leaders follow?

Explore following as an initial signal of public sources and affinities.

A public relationship is not consent

Do not use these lists for spam, surveillance or sensitive decisions. Minimize data and respect terms, privacy and applicable law.

Frequently asked questions

Before scaling

Are followers and following the same?

No. followers returns profiles following the target; following returns accounts followed by the target.

Can I process multiple accounts?

Yes. Account accepts a list of usernames or URLs and applies the same mode and limit to each one.

Why does this guide recommend at least 50?

In the tested version, a request for 5 was skipped by an internal minimumResultsRequired safeguard. A request for 50 returned 50 rows.

Is the requested maximum guaranteed?

No. Public profile size, available pagination and source changes may reduce output.

Does this Actor download videos?

No. Use our TikTok video guide for posts and metrics.
