SearchApi / Get a TikTok profile

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-tiktok-profile on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Returns a TikTok user’s profile. Send username. Returns profile with bio, followers, following, hearts, posts and is_verified.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
engine string no Fixed to “tiktok_profile” for this endpoint. Example: “tiktok_profile”
username string yes

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 2 real answers:

{ profile: { bio, link, name, posts, avatar, hearts, language, username, avatar_hd, followers, following, created_at, is_verified }, search_metadata: { id, status, html_url, json_url, created_at, request_url, total_time_taken, parsing_time_taken, request_time_taken }, search_parameters: { engine, username } }

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":"searchapi-io-tiktok-profile","input":{"username":"<username>","engine":"tiktok_profile"},"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: "searchapi-io-tiktok-profile",
    input: {
      username: "<username>",
      engine: "tiktok_profile",
    },
    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": "searchapi-io-tiktok-profile",
        "input": {
            "username": "<username>",
            "engine": "tiktok_profile",
        },
        "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.user.profile as endpointId; see the job page.
