[See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/profile/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field TikTok doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts TikTok username with or without the @ (nasa, @nasa), a profile URL (tiktok.com/@nasa, m.tiktok.com/@nasa, with or without query parameters), a numeric user ID (tiktok.com/share/user/\ or the bare ID), or a secUid (MS4wLjABAAAA…). - ### Write one parser TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and 24 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native account ID (string; YouTube UC…, Reddit t2_…). - **`username`string**: Handle without the @; null when the account has none. - **`display_name`string**: Display name, channel title or page name; null when empty or not exposed. - **`url`string**: Canonical profile URL. - **`type`string**: Coarse account kind, as the platform labels it; unknown when it does not (TikTok labels organizations only). New values may be added; treat unknown values as unknown. - **`bio`string**: Profile bio, channel description or page about text; null when empty or not exposed. - **`avatar_url`string**: Profile picture URL (largest available).

It is also null when TikTok doesn't serve it, and then a partial_data warning names country_code. - When the profile page is unavailable, the profile comes from TikTok's embed profile, with the join date, category, type, video count and most platform_specific.tiktok fields null, and external_links \[\] and listed in unknown_fields. - Share links (vm.tiktok.com) aren't accepted, so send the username or profile link. ## 1 credit per request.
