Are you talking about [itemInfos][id]?

Currently there’s no ability to get that json by a url. I’ll implement that feature either today or over the weekend.

can you please explain to me that how i get "video_id"(v12345679978912zxasd) ?
what should i have to call to get this file "ExTikTokResonse.json" response in php ?

[davidteather]

Since this is a python package you would have to create a python script that you could use the php exec command to execute the code and fetch the output of that program.

Here is example code of how to specify a search by hashtag and result number. Ex calling command

python TikTok-Api-CLI.py funny 10

Here is a link to the php exec command.

Another option is to use this python API to find the signature you need to make requests to their database, however that would still require integration to a python script.

A third option is that the python script finds the ExTikTokResponse.json and saves it to a file, then you load that file in php.

If you want to download the video in python here's example code

from TikTokApi import TikTokapi
import urllib.request
# Starts T
api = TikTokapi("path/to/browsermob-proxy")

# The Number of trending TikToks you want to be displayed
results = 1
trending = api.trending(results)

for tiktok in trending:
    # Prints the text of the tiktok
    videoURL = tiktok["itemInfos"]["video"]["urls"][2]
    urllib.request.urlretrieve(videoURL, 'video_name.mp4')

sorry but i'm getting error of browsermob-proxy... i don't understand how to set that path. i already downloaded that.

[davidteather]

Download browsermob proxy and place it as such and change “path/to/browsermob-proxy” to be “browsermob-proxy”

If that doesn’t work try “browsermob-proxy/bin”

ProjectFolder
  - main.py
   - browsermob-proxy
       - bin

Google adding to path on whatever your operating system is.

Then add ProjectFolder/browsermob-proxy/bin to the path.

Trying to download hashtag videos with the api,

from TikTokApi import TikTokapi

# Starts The Api Class
api = TikTokapi("browsermob-proxy/bin/browsermob-proxy")

# The Number of trending TikToks you want to be displayed
results = 10

hashtag = ("meme")


result = api.search_by_hashtag(hashtag, results)

prevloops = 0

for tiktok in trending:
    # Prints the text of the tiktok
    videoURL = tiktok["itemInfos"]["video"]["urls"]
    videoname = "video" + str(prevloops) + ".mp4"
    urllib.request.urlretrieve(videoURL, videoname)
    prevloops += 1

but unfortunately get this error
File ".\testest.py", line 20, in <module> urllib.request.urlretrieve(videoURL, 'videoname.mp4') File "C:\Users\loren\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\urllib\request.py", line 245, in urlretrieve url_type, path = splittype(url) File "C:\Users\loren\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\urllib\parse.py", line 940, in splittype match = _typeprog.match(url) TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

Any advice on how to download videos based on hashtag?
Thank you very much ! @davidteather

[davidteather]

You're trying to download an array of urls try

from TikTokApi import TikTokapi

# Starts The Api Class
api = TikTokapi("browsermob-proxy/bin/browsermob-proxy")

# The Number of trending TikToks you want to be displayed
results = 10

hashtag = ("meme")


result = api.search_by_hashtag(hashtag, results)

prevloops = 0

for tiktok in result :
    # Prints the text of the tiktok
    videoURL = tiktok["itemInfos"]["video"]["urls"][0]
    videoname = "video" + str(prevloops) + ".mp4"
    urllib.request.urlretrieve(videoURL, videoname)
    prevloops += 1
