FAQ
Why can't I take a name that shows as available?
TikTok holds names it doesn't show: banned or recently deleted ones, and names it reserves. Read available as very likely, not certain.
What are TikTok's username rules?
2 to 24 letters, numbers, periods and underscores, not ending in a period. You can change yours once every 30 days.
Can I check many usernames at once?
Not here. The API's TikTok profile endpoint checks one name a call at 1 credit; a 404 (not_found) means no account uses it.
Is it free?
Yes. No account: 5 free tries a day. A free account gets 100 credits, topped up to 25 daily. Each check uses one try, or 1 credit with an account. Names that break the rules are caught free.
Get this as an API
One GET, clean JSON. 1 credit a call, from $0.45 per 1,000 calls.
