Definition
page_token + min_time is the dual-parameter pagination pattern used by TikTok's follower and following endpoints. Both values from the previous response must be passed together to fetch the next page, unlike single-cursor patterns used by other endpoints.
In Depth
TikTok's follower and following endpoints use a unique pagination pattern requiring two values: next_page_token and min_time. Both are returned in each response and both must be included in the next request. Omitting either causes the API to return the first page again or error. This differs from user/posts (max_cursor only) and search/comments (numeric cursor). Scavio handles this pagination transparently: the response includes has_more, next_page_token, and min_time. Each page returns up to 20 followers/followings at 1 credit ($0.005). Sampling 200 followers requires 10 requests ($0.05). The pagination returns the most recent followers first, so the sample represents the newest audience segment.
Example Usage
An audience analysis tool fetches followers for 5 creators at 10 pages each. Total: 50 requests + 5 profile lookups = 55 credits ($0.275). The dual pagination ensures no followers are skipped or duplicated between pages.
