TikTok is one of the most popular social platforms, and analyzing accounts can yield a lot of useful information. For OSINT investigations, there are several effective tools that can help you collect data about users’ profiles, activity, videos, and even possible contact information.
A key tool for analyzing TikTok accounts. This bot allows you to get basic profile information and, in some cases, even contact details, including a phone number.
An effective tool for analyzing TikTok profiles and videos. A great option, although only available in the paid version.
Allows you to accurately determine the time of publication of a video to the second. Just copy the link to the content and you will get detailed data.
Enter a TikTok user’s nickname and find out their activity statistics: likes, comments, views, and overall engagement for the last 40 videos. First of all, you should pay attention to the user’s profile itself. Data such as the description, nickname, and the user’s video as a whole should be analyzed qualitatively and carefully.
A powerful tool that in some cases can provide valuable data about a TikTok account, including a phone number or email.
Tip: to get the first letters of the mail through those support, submit a request for recovery. Also check the nickname from TikTok in the VKontakte search.
You can also use archival data – although the probability of getting something is small, there is still a chance to find the information you need.
A powerful tool for detailed search by nickname. Just enter the nickname, and the bot will generate a high-quality query to collect information.
If a nickname looks unique enough, it’s worth checking it out with specialized tools like Snoop. This utility will help you find the user’s accounts on other platforms and gather additional information for further analysis.
In addition to searching using software, it is worth searching in search engines such as Google. Based on the data obtained, further analysis should be carried out and work with it. As we all know, there is no perfect OSINT recipe, because each user is unique.

Our task is to find a user profile using only search services. The best option for this is Google, as it supports dorks – specially formed queries for precise searches.
If you know the user’s full name and probable nickname, you can use the following combination:
site:tiktok.com "@ім'я_користувача" OR "повне ім'я"
The site: operator specifies that the search will be performed exclusively on the TikTok website. The logical OR operator allows you to search for either the nickname or the first name, and both values do not necessarily have to be present at the same time.
If you need to find mentions of a TikTok profile on other sites, you can use the query:
"нікнейм" OR "повне ім'я" "tiktok.com" -site:tiktok.com
Here, the -site: operator excludes TikTok itself from the search results, leaving only third-party mentions.
To find a user’s profile on other platforms, you can use the following search:
site:youtube.com OR site:instagram.com "нікнейм" OR "повне ім'я" "tiktok" "tik tok" OR intext:"tiktok.com/@нікнейм"
This method will help you find out if an account has been mentioned on YouTube, Instagram, or other platforms.
To search for mentions in a video, you can use the query:
site:tiktok.com intext:@нікнейм -intitle:"нікнейм" inurl:video
This allows you to find videos that mention the desired nickname, even if it is not listed in the title.
The competent use of search queries greatly simplifies OSINT analysis of TikTok and helps to find valuable information about the user.
TikTok account analysis is possible thanks to OSINT tools such as TikTok OSINT Bot, Cerberus, MaigretBOT and Snoop. It is important to check the nickname, profile description, activity and comments.
For a deeper search, dorks in Google and Yandex are used, as well as analysis of other social networks (VK, YouTube, Instagram). TikTok Timestamp helps to determine the exact time of publication of the video, and Archive.org – to find old data.
Checking the nickname in VK, searching by image in Yandex and analyzing video descriptions on YouTube can provide additional information. A competent approach to OSINT will help to find the maximum data about the user.
