An attempt to make a TikTok API by scraping
This project basically uses the data returned by the HTML file. Uses regular expression to get the required data.
- Install the dependencies,
npm i. - Run the server with
npm start. - You can send HTTP requests to that server!
You can also use the one I hosted myself at http://aco-tiktok.cyclic.app/. See examples for more information.
To embed the CORS protected image in your site, you can use my proxy, https://github.com/acomarcho/cors-proxy!
