Find when a TikTok account was created. No API key, no signup, just a username.
- Account creation date from a username,
@handle, or profile URL, plus followers, likes, bio, verified, and private status. - Video upload time from a video URL or id (the snowflake timestamp,
id >> 32). - Optional OSINT pivots (opt in): reverse image search of the avatar (Yandex / Google Lens / TinEye), Wayback Machine link, same-handle probes on Instagram / X / YouTube / Twitch / Reddit, and the bio link from the profile.
- Optional integrity flags (opt in): heuristic signals for bought followers, follow farms, rapid growth, and handle / display-name changes that can hint at a rebrand, sale, or takeover.
- Reports saved to
reports/as JSON and TXT. - A clean terminal UI, or a single command. No RapidAPI, no key, no card.
Easiest, no tools needed: click the green < > Code button near the top of this page, choose Download ZIP, then unzip it.
Or with git:
git clone https://github.com/Thyfwx/TokIntel.git
cd TokIntelThe only thing you need installed yourself is Python 3.11 or newer (get it from python.org if you don't have it). Everything else (requests, colorama, rich) is installed for you automatically the first time you run it.
| Your system | How to start |
|---|---|
| macOS | double click TokIntel.app (or TokIntel.command) |
| Windows | double click start.bat |
| Linux / any terminal | run ./start.sh |
The launcher builds its own virtual environment and installs requests, colorama, and rich on first run, so there is nothing to set up by hand.
macOS: if you downloaded the ZIP and a double-click is blocked ("unidentified developer"), right-click
TokIntel.app→ Open → Open once, and it will trust it from then on. Cloning with git avoids this entirely.
Prefer the command line?
python3 tiktok_created.py charlidamelio
python3 tiktok_created.py @nasa https://www.tiktok.com/@zachking
# Optional extras (off by default)
python3 tiktok_created.py charlidamelio --osint # add pivot links
python3 tiktok_created.py charlidamelio --flags # add integrity heuristics
python3 tiktok_created.py charlidamelio --all # bothIn the interactive UI, a short numbered menu appears after each card so you can pull the extras up only when you want them.
TikTok embeds the account createTime in the JSON on every public profile page, so one request to the profile is enough to read it. Video IDs are snowflakes, so a video's upload time comes from id >> 32. No login, no third party API.
Python 3.11+ and requests, colorama, rich (installed automatically by the launcher, or pip install -r requirements.txt).
Built on top of TokIntel by Victor Bancayan (Hack Underway). The original does more, including email and phone lookups through RapidAPI. This build is a free option that needs no key, for looking up creation dates. Licensed under MIT, see LICENSE.
For educational and OSINT research only. It reads public profile data. Do not use it for anything illegal.
