MyTIkTok

A Simple Python Package for Scarping and Downloading Tiktok Videos

Installation

Linux/Unix

• pip3 install mytiktok

Windows

• pip install mytiktok

Visual Output

The package itself uses undetected-chromedriver for web automation which controls whether the chrome instance to renders or not hence the headless option. Using headless mode increases the chances of a captcha being raised and scraping process failing. So far in testing captcha is only noticed at Login() but once login is successful cookies are created and you should be fine in successive usage of the package until the cookies expire.

So implementing Retries is important if you are planning on using this package for a project.

Note

I recommend using headless = True after you've already passed Login and generated cookies, and after you can use headless = False but alternatively you can just always set headless = True

Example Usages

Search for tiktok videos

from mytiktok import Tiktok


email = 'your_tiktok_email@gmail.com'
password = 'your_tiktok_password'
search_term = '#JesusSaves #prayer'

#the package needs an account login details to create cookie sessions 
tiktok  = Tiktok(email=email, password=password)

#returns a videos object
videos  = tiktok.search(search_term=search_term, amnt=14)
print(videos.info_list)

Get Videos of an Accounts Video

from mytiktok import Tiktok


email = 'your_tiktok_email@gmail.com'
password = 'your_tiktok_password'

accounts  = [
'@calebbpartain',
'@dailychristmotives',
'@inspiringfaith1',
'@spreadthewordbro_',

]

#the package needs an account login details to create cookie sessions 
tiktok  = Tiktok(email=email, password=password)

#returns a videos object
videos  = tiktok.accounts(accounts=accounts, amnt=14)
print(videos.info_dict)

Downloading Videos

Downloads videos via Search or Accounts

videos.download(folder_name = 'Example_Folder') 

Download via Video

from mytiktok.video import Video

url = 'https://www.tiktok.com/@calebbpartain/video/7363384781024906538'

video  = Video(url = url)
video.download(file_name='video.mp4')

Download via Videos Class

from mytiktok.videos import Videos


urls  = [
'https://www.tiktok.com/@calebbpartain/video/72961sadsada4967404662062',
'https://www.tiktok.com/@calebbpartain/video/7314359034906234155',
'https://www.tiktok.com/@calebbpartain/video/7207942650564119854',
'https://www.tiktok.com/@calebbpartain/video/7363384781024906538',
]

videos  = Videos(urls = urls)
videos.download(folder_name='Test_videos')

If you are planning to download in bulk ensure to save URLs and use the Videos class instead
