TikTok User Info by Username API

Last updated

Fetch detailed user profile information including bio, stats (followers, heart count), nickname, and verified status using a username. Returns two blocks in one call: a user object with id, uniqueId, nickname, signature (the bio), avatar URLs in three sizes, verified, privateAccount, secUid, createTime (account creation as a Unix timestamp) and bioLink when the account has set one, plus a stats object with followerCount, followingCount, heartCount, videoCount and diggCount. This is the go-to endpoint for influencer vetting and profile enrichment when all you have is a handle.
