Overview
The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including TikTok. Specifically, the "Get TikTok Following" operation retrieves a list of users that a specified TikTok user is following. This can be useful for social media analysts, marketers, or developers who want to analyze a user's network, track influencer connections, or gather data for competitive analysis.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Extract the following list of a popular TikTok creator to understand their interests or partnerships.
- Monitor changes in a user's following list over time.
- Aggregate data on multiple users' followings for market research.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Handle | The TikTok username (without the '@') of the user whose following list you want to retrieve. |
| Limit | The maximum number of following users to return. Must be at least 1. |
Output
The output contains a JSON array representing the TikTok accounts that the specified user is following. Each item in the array typically includes details about each followed user, such as their username, display name, and possibly other profile metadata depending on the API response.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an 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 a very high limit may cause performance delays or API rate limiting.
- Providing an incorrect or non-existent TikTok handle will likely return empty results or an error.
- Error messages:
- Authentication failures: Check that the API key is correctly set and valid.
- Rate limit exceeded: Reduce the request frequency or limit parameter.
- User not found: Verify the TikTok handle spelling and existence.
