No. Only public pages are read.
How many posts per profile?
Up to about 10-13, TikTok's public limit. Set resultsPerPage lower to save money.
Can I get emails?
If the creator wrote an email in the bio, it is in bioEmails. The link in bio is in bioLink. Nothing hidden is accessed.
What is engagement rate?
