TokIntel

TokIntel looks up a TikTok account from its username and tells you when it was created, with no API key and no signup.

What it does

• Reads an account's creation date, followers, likes, bio, verified status and private status. Give it a username, an @handle or a profile URL.
• Reads the upload time of a video from its URL or id.
• Saves each run to reports/ as JSON and TXT.
• Optional pivots (--osint): the bio link, links from the account's own Linktree, Beacons, Carrd or personal site, and other accounts whose page links back to this TikTok profile. A link back suggests the accounts are connected; it doesn't prove one person runs both. It also checks the same username on GitHub, YouTube, Snapchat, SoundCloud, Patreon, Tumblr, Roblox, Linktree, Behance, Last.fm, Chess.com, Pastebin and Flickr. Those matches are marked unverified, since another person can own the same handle. A match that also uses the same profile photo is marked a strong lead. A photo can be copied, so treat it as a place to look, not proof.
• Optional integrity flags (--flags): heuristic signs of bought followers, follow farms, fast growth and recent name changes. They're context, not accusations.

How it works

TikTok puts the account's createTime in the JSON on every public profile page, so one request to the profile is enough. Video ids are snowflakes, so a video's upload time comes from id >> 32. For public accounts there's no login and no third party API.

Install and run

You need Python 3.11 or newer. Clone the repo, or download the ZIP from the Code button:

git clone https://github.com/Thyfwx/TokIntel.git
cd TokIntel

Then start the interface:

System	How to start
macOS	Double click TokIntel.app or TokIntel.command
Windows	Double click start.bat
Linux or any terminal	Run ./start.sh

The first run builds a venv folder and installs the pinned packages from requirements.txt. If macOS blocks a double click after a ZIP download, right click TokIntel.app, choose Open, and confirm once.

For one lookup from the command line:

python3 tiktok_created.py charlidamelio
python3 tiktok_created.py @nasa https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking
python3 tiktok_created.py charlidamelio --all

--osint and --flags add the optional sections, and --all turns on both. --file names.txt reads one target per line. Install the packages yourself first if you run the script directly: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt.

Accounts with audience controls

Some accounts use TikTok's audience controls, such as the 18 and older setting. TikTok won't show those profiles to anyone who isn't signed in, so a normal lookup returns nothing for them.

When that happens, the interface asks which browser you're signed in to TikTok on (chrome, firefox, edge, brave or safari) and reads the account with that login. The login is read on your computer for that one lookup. On the command line, set TIKTOK_COOKIES_FROM_BROWSER=chrome first, or put your sessionid value in a gitignored tiktok_session.txt. If TIKTOK_COOKIE or TIKTOK_SESSIONID is already set in your environment, that login is used first, even when you pick a browser.

Limits

• It reads public profile pages only.
• Same username matches are leads, not identification.
• Use it only where the law and TikTok's terms allow. The tool is meant for research and learning.
