Why engineering teams switch from ScrapeCreators.
Dedicated TikTok Gateway vs Generalist Multi-Platform Scraper
Because TikTokAPI.io focuses 100% on TikTok and TikTok Creative Center, every endpoint is normalized around TikTok's native cursor mechanics, 64-bit IDs, and 1080p CDN streams.
200 Followers per Call Cuts Pagination Overhead by 80%
Exporting 100,000 followers takes just 500 HTTP calls on TikTokAPI.io (/v1/user/followers?count=200) for $10 base ($5.75 on Pro).
Dual-Rail Checkout: Corporate Stripe Invoices or 0%-Fee Crypto
Whether your finance team needs automatic EU VAT / US EIN PDF invoices via Stripe or instant USDT/USDC settlement, both are built into the dashboard.
