[FEATURE_REQUEST] - Method for follower count

[dylanbarne]

I would like a function to get the amount of followers a user has as the data returned from the get user method is not easy to filter due to its format

Hey @dylanbarne,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #240 - lint and refactor tiktok.py
• #238 - Add a Paginated user feed method
• #237 - [BUG] - 'browser' object has no attribute 'verifyFp'

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job :smile:

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers, Your Friendly Neighborhood ProBot

Here's code to do that. All the information is in dictionary formatting. I am not planning to add methods for each of the statistics as that's a bit redundant.

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
api = TikTokApi()
tiktok_username = "therock"

user_data = api.getUser(tiktok_username)
followers = user_data['userInfo']['stats']['followerCount'] 
print(followers) # prints number of followers for the given user
