This workflow works on n8n Cloud or self-hosted n8n, uses built-in nodes, and does not require OpenAI.\n\n### How it works\n\n1. Starts manually or every day at 09:00 and reads handles or full TikTok profile URLs from one editable Set node.\n2. Validates and deduplicates the list before spending Actor credits.\n3. Runs the FetchCat TikTok Profile Scraper once for the complete batch.\n4. Converts public metrics and account signals into human-readable columns.\n5. Updates Google Sheets by TikTok handle, so reruns refresh existing rows instead of creating duplicates.\n\n### Setup\n\n- [ ] [Open the public spreadsheet template](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11sXzrv9g7rECryFt6HkWcXQxh7hpyHteuRT-cxcQZrE/edit?usp=drive_link), choose File > Make a copy, and save the copy in your Google Drive.\n- [ ] Paste up to 500 handles or profile URLs into 1. Enter TikTok Profiles.\n- [ ] Create an Apify HTTP Header Auth credential and select it in both FetchCat request nodes.\n- [ ] Connect Google Sheets and select your copied spreadsheet and its TikTok Profiles tab in 3. Save Profiles to Google Sheets.\n- [ ] Run manually and inspect the resulting profile table, then publish the workflow to enable the daily schedule.\n\nRecent videos are intentionally disabled because TikTok does not expose them consistently."
