TikTok User ID API
Last updated
Retrieve the unique numeric User ID (UID) for any TikTok user by providing their username. Essential for subsequent API requests. The response is a single JSON object with the id field, for example {"id": "107955"} for the official tiktok account. Store this ID once per account: /user-posts/, /user-followers/, /user-following/ and both info endpoints all key off the numeric userid rather than the handle, and handles can change while the ID never does.
