curl "https://api.scrapall.bipsport.com/scapi/v1/tiktok/user_followers" \
-H "X-Scapi-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"What you can build
A working fake follower audit tool needs three parts: a collector that calls the endpoints below on a schedule, a small database that keeps every response with its fetch time, and a view or alert that shows agencies paying creators per follower what changed. Scrapall handles the data collection, so you only write the product logic.
How to build it, step by step
- Get an API key on the Buy page; new accounts start with 20 free credits.
- Call /v1/tiktok/user_followers first to check the response fields you need.
- Add the other endpoints (/v1/tiktok/user, /v1/instagram/user) and store each JSON response with a timestamp.
- Schedule the collector (cron or a queue) and build the view or alert on top of the stored data.
