Hey! I’ve been down the same rabbit hole with how to scrape user accounts on instagram and tiktok. Honestly, it’s a bit of a mess out there. I’ve had some luck with Scrapy (Python-based), but it’s not beginner-friendly.
For TikTok, I’d recommend checking out TikTokScraper—it’s open-source and works pretty well for basic scraping. As for legality, it’s a gray area. Instagram and TikTok both have strict terms, so tread carefully.
Avoiding bans? Rotate proxies and keep your requests slow. Don’t go crazy with the scraping speed, or you’ll get blocked fast.
