# Get TikTok user audience demographics

`GET /tiktok/user/audience`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1`
- URL: `https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/tiktok/user/audience`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns audience geography for a TikTok creator: audienceLocations ranks the top countries in the creator's audience with sampled follower counts and percentage share. The ranking is built from a sample of the creator's public followers (typically a few hundred), not the full follower base, so treat the percentages as a concentration ranking rather than a census. When the creator has a public Shop marketplace card, the same response also carries audienceAges and audienceGenders (percentage share) and audienceStates (sampled US-state counts). Age and gender are absent when no marketplace card exists; the country ranking is still returned.

## Query parameters

- `handle` string, required

## Headers

- `Cache-Control` string
- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Response `200`

Successful response

- object
  - `success` boolean, required: Whether the request succeeded
  - `platform` string, required: Platform name
  - `endpoint` string, required: API endpoint path
  - `data` object, required: Platform-specific response data
    - `audienceLocations` object[], nullable: Geographic distribution of the creator's audience, ordered by size. Passthrough from the upstream provider; present for creators whose platform exposes audience geography.
      - `country` string: Country name
      - `countryCode` string: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code
      - `count` integer: Number of audience members in this country
      - `percentage` string: Share of the audience in this country, formatted as a percent string (e.g. "22.67%")
    - `audienceAges` object[], nullable: Age-band share of the creator's audience, when a Shop marketplace card exists. Absent otherwise. Values are percentages.
      - `key` string: Age band, e.g. 18-24
      - `percentage` number: Share of the audience in this band
    - `audienceGenders` object[], nullable: Gender share of the creator's audience, when a Shop marketplace card exists. Absent otherwise. Values are percentages and may not sum to 100.
      - `key` string: Gender key, e.g. female
      - `percentage` number: Share of the audience in this bucket
    - `audienceStates` object[], nullable: Sampled US-state counts for the creator's audience, when a Shop marketplace card exists. This is not a country ranking; use audienceLocations for that.
      - `state` string: US state name
      - `count` integer: Sampled audience members in this state
    - `_warnings` string[]: Non-fatal notices about this response (field-map drift, clamped computed values). Advisory only: its presence never means the request failed. Omitted entirely when there is nothing to report, so treat absent as 'no warnings'.
  - `credits_used` integer, required: Number of credits consumed
  - `credits_remaining` integer, nullable, required: Current account balance, or null when this response could not establish one. Free cache hits always return null because they do not establish an authoritative post-request balance. An idempotency replay also returns null when its current-balance lookup fails. It is never a fabricated zero, so a zero here means the account really is empty. The authoritative reading is the one on a billed response, which comes straight from the deduction.
  - `request_id` string, required: Unique request identifier for support
  - `cached` boolean, required: Whether the response was served from cache
  - `idempotent_replay` boolean: True only when this response is an idempotency replay
  - `meta` object: Optional. Present only when this call completed a pattern that one other call does more cheaply or in one step, at most once per pattern per API key per day. Send the header `X-SocialCrawl-Hints: off` to never receive it.
    - `hint` object: One suggestion: what to call instead and why, with the price when the suggested call costs more than the calls it replaces.
      - `code` string: creator_card | batch_profiles | search_multi | incremental_sync | comment_labels | search_repeat
      - `message` string: One sentence for a person or an agent to read.
      - `method` string: GET or POST.
      - `path` string: The call the hint points to.

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request - missing or malformed parameters
- `401`: Unauthorized - missing or invalid API key
- `402`: Payment required - the account balance is too low, or the calling key has spent its own per-key credit limit
- `404`: Not found - the endpoint does not exist, or the requested resource was not found upstream
- `405`: Method not allowed - wrong HTTP verb for this endpoint
- `409`: Conflict - an idempotent request is still in flight, its completed body exceeded the replay limit, or the cohort resource is not in a state that allows this operation
- `410`: Gone - the discover run's retention passed and its rows were deleted; start a new run
- `413`: Payload too large: the JSON request body exceeds the 1 MB size limit and is rejected before parsing, or a single cohort result cannot fit beneath the 1 MB response-page ceiling
- `422`: Idempotency payload mismatch - this Idempotency-Key was already used with a different request payload; or a discover request with async=false is over what one call can answer (NEEDS_ASYNC)
- `429`: Rate or concurrency limit exceeded. `RATE_LIMITED`: more than 600 requests in a 1-minute sliding window on this API key (headers `X-RateLimit-Limit`/`Remaining`/`Reset`; `Retry-After` is seconds until the window resets). `CONCURRENCY_LIMIT`: more than 50 simultaneous in-flight requests (headers `X-Concurrency-Limit`/`Remaining`; short static `Retry-After`). Both are unbilled. Honor `Retry-After`, then back off with jitter. See /docs/rate-limits.
- `500`: Internal server error - an immediate refund is attempted; credits_used reports the committed net charge and exact compensation is queued if that refund cannot commit
- `502`: Upstream error - the platform returned an error; an immediate refund is attempted and credits_used reports the committed net charge
- `503`: Service unavailable - the request is unbilled when rejected before deduction, otherwise an immediate refund is attempted and credits_used reports the committed net charge
- `504`: Gateway timeout - the request was still running close to the platform time limit and is answered as UPSTREAM_ERROR, the same code as 502. An immediate refund is attempted and credits_used reports the committed net charge. When details.retry_with is set, retryable is false and there is no Retry-After
