The browser tool reads one profile at a time. For a whole shortlist, the APIs below return the same counts for every link.

A shortlist on the same fields; the average is your arithmetic over the recent-posts page Illustrative example: fictional accounts and numbers, in the shape the real result takes.

The problem

A shortlist arrives as a spreadsheet of links across three platforms. Comparing them by hand means opening thirty tabs, and each platform names and rounds its numbers differently, so the comparison is wrong before it starts.

How it works

  1. TikTok Profile /v1/tiktok/profile

    Follower, video and lifetime heart counts for each TikTok handle on the list.

  2. YouTube Channel /v1/youtube/channel

    Subscriber and video counts. YouTube rounds public subscriber counts above 1,000 itself, and the API passes that through rather than inventing precision.

  3. TikTok Channel Videos /v1/tiktok/posts

    A page of recent posts, so recent engagement can be averaged instead of trusting a follower count alone.

  4. YouTube Channel Videos /v1/youtube/videos

    A page of the channel's recent videos with exact view counts, so typical reach per video can be read off the list.

What this does not do

  • Engagement rate is arithmetic you do. We return the inputs with timestamps rather than a computed score, because the formula is a judgement call and ours would be a guess at yours.
  • No audience demographics, no fake-follower score, no contact details. Those need either a platform partnership or data we deliberately do not hold.
  • A private account returns an availability status.

Billing

Each step above costs that API's credit price on every call, including a link that turns out to be deleted or private. A read we could not complete is never charged, and a dead link comes back as a typed status rather than a stale number. How billing works →
