Overview

The "Get TikTok Followers" operation in the Scrape Creators node retrieves a list of followers for a specified TikTok user handle. This node is useful for social media analysts, marketers, or developers who want to gather follower data from TikTok profiles in real time. For example, it can be used to analyze audience demographics, track follower growth, or integrate follower information into marketing dashboards.

Properties

Name Meaning
Handle The TikTok username (without the '@') whose followers you want to retrieve.
Limit The maximum number of follower results to return. Must be at least 1.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the list of followers for the specified TikTok handle. Each follower entry typically includes details such as username, profile information, and possibly other metadata depending on the API response. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active API key credential for the Scrape Creators service.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the Scrape Creators API endpoint https://api.scrapecreators.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing API key will result in authentication errors.
    • Requesting too many followers (exceeding API limits) may cause errors or truncated results.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent TikTok handle will likely return empty results or errors.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication failures usually indicate problems with the API key setup.
    • Rate limit exceeded errors suggest that the user should reduce the Limit value or wait before retrying.
    • Not found or invalid handle errors mean the specified TikTok username does not exist or is misspelled.
