FREE way to scrape Tiktok accounts!

I wrote a script that will scrape Tiktok accounts for you.

You need to be logged in.

Tiktok caps the number of search results at about 380, so this will return a max of 400 on each run.

If you want to scrape other sites, check out my brand new AI scraper: ScrapeThat.ai

Here's a video on how to use the script:

Written instructions:

1. Go to Tiktok (must be logged in)
2. Search for something
3. Go to the "Accounts" tab
4. Open the browser console (right-click -> inspect -> console)
5. Paste the script below and hit enter
6. Wait for the magic 🧙‍♂️
