```http
GET | POST /v1/tiktok/profile

|---|---|---|
| `username` | The creator's profile |  |

Pass one source per call. Every identifier also takes the page URL.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `username` | string |  | Creator @handle (with or without @), or the profile URL. |

)
body = res.json()
```
