tiktok-scraper

Why we included this project

TikTok doesn't offer a public API for bulk scraping, and this scraper fills that gap by working directly against the platform's web endpoints. It collects post metadata from user, hashtag, trend, and music feeds, and it can download the videos themselves. You can run it as a Node module, a command-line tool, or a Docker container, and it supports saving progress so scheduled repeat runs only pull new posts. No login is required, which makes it a reasonable starting point for research and archiving, or for feeding your own analysis features. The trade-off is that it depends on TikTok's undocumented web API, so it can break when the platform changes and it isn't an officially supported integration.
