# Quickstart

> Fetch a TikTok creator profile in under two minutes.

## Prerequisites

* A RapidAPI account with a TikTok Intel API subscription ([get one here](https://rapidapi.com/search/tiktok-intel))
* `curl`, Python 3, or Node.js 18+

## Step 1 — Copy your API key

Log in to RapidAPI, open the TikTok Intel API listing, and copy your key from the **Security** section of the playground.

## Step 2 — Fetch a creator profile

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your key and run:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X GET \
    "https://tiktok-marketing-intelligence-api-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/users/charlidamelio" \
    -H "x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  resp = requests.get(
      "https://tiktok-marketing-intelligence-api-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/users/charlidamelio",
      headers={"x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
  )
  print(resp.json()["data"])
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const res = await fetch(
    "https://tiktok-marketing-intelligence-api-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/users/charlidamelio",
    { headers: { "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } }
  );
  const { data } = await res.json();
  console.log(data);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Step 3 — Inspect the response

```json theme={null}
{
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
    "timestamp": "2025-04-29T12:00:00.000Z",
    "cached": false,
    "version": "2025-01"
  },
  "data": {
