If you’re building anything that needs TikTok creator data — whether it’s an influencer marketing platform, a research tool, or an AI agent — CreatorCrawl gives you a single API to access it all.
Here’s how to get up and running in under five minutes.
Sign up and grab your API key
Head to creatorcrawl.com and create a free account. You’ll get 250 credits to start with — no card required.
Once you’re in, navigate to the API Keys page from the sidebar and generate your first key. Keep it somewhere safe; you’ll need it for every request.
Make your first API call
Every request goes through a simple REST interface. Here’s an example fetching a TikTok user’s profile:
curl -X GET "https://api.creatorcrawl.com/v1/tiktok/user/profile?username=charlidamelio" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"You’ll get back structured JSON with the creator’s profile data — follower count, bio, avatar, verified status, and more.
What can you fetch?
CreatorCrawl covers the most common TikTok data needs:
- User profiles — follower counts, bios, engagement metrics
- User posts — video metadata, view counts, captions, hashtags
- Search — find creators by keyword, niche, or hashtag
- Comments — pull comment threads from any video
- Hashtag data — trending hashtags and associated content
Each endpoint costs 1 credit per request. Check the API Reference for the full endpoint list.
Choose a credit pack
The free 250 credits are great for testing, but when you’re ready to scale:
| Pack | Credits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 5,000 | $29 |
| Pro | 20,000 | $99 |
| Scale | 100,000 | $299 |
Credits never expire and there are no monthly commitments. Buy what you need, use it when you need it.
