eggplant

An SDK for tiktok and douyin which support download videos without water mark and upload videos. (upload videos not implement yet)

How it works

By using playwright scrape the video page you specified, get the rendered source code, parse the source code and get the video file link, then use http client download the video file into your file system.

Note: Due to the anti-crawler policy, the video file link will change constantly, so sometimes this sdk won't get the video file. If you encounter this scenario, please let me know.
