TikTok User Information Scraper Bot

For user convenience, I have developed a bot that streamlines the process of retrieving TikTok user information. You can interact with this bot directly at the following link: TikTok User Info Scraper Bot.

This bot is built based on the functionalities of the Python script and eliminates the need for manual execution of the code. Simply provide a TikTok username or user ID, and the bot will retrieve detailed user information in a structured format, including follower count, likes, videos, and more.

This solution allows seamless integration without requiring any logins, APIs, or external dependencies.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • requests library

You can install the required library using pip:

pip3 install requests

Usage

Run the script from the command line. You can specify either a TikTok username or user ID. Use the --by_id flag if you are providing a user ID.

Example

To get help and usage information, you can run:

python3 TikTok.py -h

This will display:

usage: TikTok.py [-h] [--by_id] identifier

Get TikTok user information

positional arguments:
  identifier  TikTok username or user ID

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --by_id     Indicates if the provided identifier is a user ID

To get information using a username:

python3 TikTok.py @username [or username]

To get information using a user ID:

python3 TikTok.py --by_id user_id

Output

The script will print the following user information to the console:

  • User ID
  • Username
  • Nickname
  • Followers
  • Following
  • Likes
  • Videos
  • Biography
  • Verified status
  • SecUid
  • Comment setting
  • Private account status
  • Region
  • Heart count
  • Digg count
  • Friend count
  • Profile picture URL

Additionally, the profile picture will be downloaded and saved as unique_id_profile_pic.jpg in the current directory.

Notes

  • Ensure that the TikTok user account is public to access their information.
  • The scraping technique relies on the current structure of the TikTok website, which may change.
