Followers API

4 endpoints on 4 platforms return the same Account object. The accounts that follow an account. A call costs from $0.0004 to $0.0200, each endpoint at its own price; a failed call is free.

Followers on each platform

One row per endpoint: what it is called, how much comes back in a call, and what a call costs.

Which platform fills which field

A field an endpoint cannot give is listed in meta.unavailable on every answer, so a gap is never a surprise.

The same call on two platforms

Same parameter names, same paging, same answer. Only the path changes.

TikTok user followers: From a response recorded 2026-10-12 22:05 UTC. Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up.

What comes back

The objects these endpoints answer with: one set of fields each, the same on every platform.

Questions about the Followers API

Short answers. Each endpoint's page has its own limits and examples.

TikTok user followers API →
How much does it cost?

$0.0020 a call on TikTok, Weibo, Zhihu; $0.0001 per item returned on X (Twitter). You are charged when data comes back; a failed call costs nothing. No subscription, no monthly minimum.

How do I get every page?

Pass page.next_cursor back as cursor until page.has_more is false. Each page is one call at the same price.

Does every platform fill every field?

No. 5 of the 11 fields are missing on at least one platform; the table on this page says which. A field an endpoint cannot give is named in meta.unavailable on every answer, never filled with a guess.

Do I need an account on the platform?

No. One DataXAPI key reads all 4 platforms. No platform account and no cookie.

Other data types

The same idea everywhere: one action, every platform that has it.

Start with one key.

207 endpoints on 21 platforms, from $0.0003 a call. Errors and timeouts are not charged.
