Scrape Creators API / Search Users

ScrapeCreators tool scrapecreators-tiktok-search-users on looot: input fields, $0.00188 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Searches for TikTok users by keyword or name, useful for finding creators or accounts matching a query. Returns users, an array of objects each containing user_info (nickname, unique_id, signature/bio, follower_count, following_count, avatar) and associated items. Paginate with cursor from the previous response.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
cursor number no
query string yes
trim boolean no

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect scrapecreators-tiktok-search-users prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-tiktok-search-users","input":{"query":"<query>"},"wait":30}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "scrapecreators-tiktok-search-users",
    input: {
      query: "<query>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "scrapecreators-tiktok-search-users",
        "input": {
            "query": "<query>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:tiktok.search.users as endpointId; see the job page.
