TikTok User Search
Overview
Search TikTok accounts by keyword, one page per call. Each account comes with handle, display name, follower count, region and bio as the search shows them. next_cursor in the response goes back as cursor for the next page.
When to use
- Find starting accounts (seeds) of a niche for
tiktok_find_leads or tiktok_following.
- Look up which accounts TikTok shows for a brand or trade term.
For whole lead lists use tiktok_find_leads: the user search brings only 1 to 3 leads per 100 lookups, the following snowball 23 to 27.
