The best scraper of social media`s accounts in n8n - views, likes, comments and followers

Apify

Hello everyone! I know that there are many no-code solutions that help to parse social networks. The best is Apify and it is easy to set up with a direct node in n8n. However, I was wondering - is it possible to build a scraper myself that will show tiktok statistics of likes, comments, views and subscribers without official api? Of course, yes.
You need to climb into the HTML space and open it, maybe even figure out the cookies. After all, I often met in apify actors that you also need to send account cookies so that it shows you statistics.

Official api

With the official api, each account asks to provide a login and password. But what if I have hundreds of tiktok accounts, and in general I don’t want to do this? I would like to achieve the level of creativity and skills to understand how this is actually done. I spent two months watching a bunch of videos, studying materials, researching other templates, but I still haven’t gotten anywhere. How can you achieve such a level of automation when you leave the bot an account nickname, it processes the data and enters statistics into a table for you? Has anyone been parsing accounts to collect information from profiles?

You can try Bright Data or Firecrawl.

Hi, thanks for the recommendations. But I wtill have a problem. I tried 1 and 2 sites. On Bright Data, I sign up my account form and am waiting for confirmation, but I am not sure that they will approve my verification.
On Firecrawl, it does not allow parsing TikTok, YouTube and Instagram accounts. You can see it in the screenshot. Maybe with a paid subscription to Firecrawl will allow me to receive account data or what could be the problem? Why am I denied receiving social media data?
