Adds a lighter way to find when a TikTok account was created, by reading the createTime from the public profile page. Just a username, no API key or signup.

Purely additive: your RapidAPI tool is untouched. This sits alongside it for the creation date case.

New files only:

  • tiktok_created.py: CLI lookup (username, @handle, profile URL, video URL, or numeric id)
  • tiktok_ui.py: a Rich terminal UI
  • start.sh, start.bat, TokIntel.command, TokIntel.app: launchers for macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • a short README section

How it works: TikTok embeds the account createTime in the public profile page JSON, so a simple GET to the profile is enough. It also decodes a video URL or id to its upload time via the snowflake timestamp (id >> 32).

Tested on real accounts (for example @charlidamelio returns 2015-11-14, matching its musical.ly origin). Reports save to reports/ like the main tool.

Proposed in #3. Full credit to you for TokIntel. This is an optional extra for people who would rather not set up an API key.

              Account Lookup
       part of TokIntel Β· by Hack Underway

Reads the createTime embedded in TikTok's public profile page, so you can
find when an account was created from just a username, with no API key to set
up and no signup.

Adds:
- tiktok_created.py: CLI lookup (username, @handle, profile URL, video URL, or numeric id)
- tiktok_ui.py: Rich terminal UI
- start.sh, start.bat, TokIntel.command, TokIntel.app: launchers
- a README section documenting it

Purely additive: the original RapidAPI tool is unchanged.
