title: Authorization Scopes To Get Follower Count From Tiktok
body: <p>Authorization Scopes To Get Follower Count From Tiktok
  The Tiktok developer API documentation only lists three sets of scopes that an application can request:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>video.list</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>user.info.basic</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>share.sound.create</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>Unfortunately, the user.info.basic scope only allows you to see some really basic info (not even a profile URL!). Are there any &quot;hidden&quot; scopes that I can request that would allow me to get more information about a user? Specifically, I'd like to be able to get at least their follower count, and ideally also the profile url. Such a scope definitely does exist; if you make a request to /user/info/, and you include a field which doesn't exist, you simply get no data. However, if you ask for the field &quot;follower_count&quot;, you get an error that user.info.basic doesn't grant sufficient permissions.</p>
