Common questions
How long does the TikTok data export take?
Usually a few minutes to a few hours. TikTok sends you a notification in the app and an email when your export is ready to download.
Which format should I choose — JSON or TXT?
Always choose JSON. followreport only works with JSON format. TXT exports do not contain structured follower data that can be parsed.
What data should I include in the export?
Choose JSON format, then select the TikTok data section or tap "Select all". TikTok needs to include your follower and following lists for followreport to work.
I downloaded the ZIP but followreport says it can't find follower data. Why?
Make sure you selected JSON format (not TXT) and included the TikTok data section. If the export is in TXT format, you'll need to request a new one in JSON.
