TikTok User Profile API for follower stats and account data

The YepAPI TikTok User Profile API turns a username into a complete creator profile. Send a handle like "tiktok" and get nickname, bio, avatar, verification status, follower and following counts, and total likes — plus the numeric user ID that unlocks the rest of the user endpoints.

It is the foundation of any creator-analysis workflow. The user ID it returns feeds directly into the TikTok User Posts, Followers, and Following APIs, while its stats let you vet influencers before you ever reach out.

What is a TikTok User Profile API?

A TikTok User Profile API takes a username and returns that account's full profile data as structured JSON. It is the canonical lookup for a single creator. With YepAPI you POST a unique_id to /v1/tiktok/user and receive a user object containing nickname, followerCount, followingCount, heartCount, and a verified flag, along with the account's numeric ID. Because TikTok has no open profile endpoint, this provides dependable programmatic access to public profile metrics — the starting point for influencer vetting, profile monitoring, and any tool that needs a creator's stats on demand.

Build your own influencer vetting tool

This endpoint is the core of an influencer vetting tool: accept a handle, return follower count, total likes, verification status, and an engagement estimate so a marketer can qualify a creator in seconds. Store snapshots over time to track growth and detect sudden, suspicious follower spikes. Crucially, it returns the numeric user_id that the Posts, Followers, and Following endpoints require — making it the first call in nearly every TikTok analysis pipeline. One YepAPI key extends the same vetting to Instagram and YouTube creators.

TikTok User Profile API pricing — $0.01 per call

Each profile lookup costs $0.01 and returns the complete profile plus the numeric ID in one response. There is no subscription or minimum spend. Vetting 1,000 creators costs about $10, and a daily monitor over 200 profiles runs around $2 per day — affordable for agencies tracking large rosters.

The user ID that powers the rest of your pipeline

Most TikTok user endpoints — Posts, Followers, Following, Favorites, Reposts — require a numeric user_id, not a handle. The Profile API is where you get it: one lookup converts a human-friendly username into the ID every downstream call needs. Treat this endpoint as the entry point of your workflow, cache the IDs you resolve, and you can drive an entire suite of creator-analysis features from a single starting call.
