A TikTokBot that downloads trending tiktok videos and compiles them using FFmpeg

TikTok Video Bot

Consider sponoring me here

This project downloads the trending tiktok videos and compiles them into a video.

NOTE: VERY OUT OF DATE if you want submit a PR to update the code using TikTokApi's new versions

NOTE This project will most likely be behind my TikTok-API. Adapt that to use FFMpeg if you want a better experience TikTok-API. I will still update this just it will most likely be a few updates behind that other repo.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Installing and Prerequisites

You need to have ffmpeg installed and in your path variable, tutorial here.

You will also have to follow the instructions here for installing the unofficial tiktok-api

Python Requirements

pip install TikTokApi

or you can do

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the bot

It's really simple, go to the directory and execute the following command

python tiktokbot.py

Built With

• FFmpeg - The tool used for video editing
• TikTok-API - My own API for TikTok.

Authors

• David Teather - Initial work - davidteather

How to target hashtag instead of trend?

Hello,
I really appreciate your work, it's a really good project :D

I noticed that it download the same videos over time, even with days apart, so i wish to make possible to target specific hashtag where to download videos.

I saw in your tiktokapi that you created a specific api.search_by_hashtag(hashtag, count=10), but in this bot looks like the scraping process is managed by
# Vars count = 42 val = True while val is True: url = "https://m.tiktok.com/share/item/list?id=&type=5&count=" + \ str(count) + "&minCursor=10&maxCursor=10&_signature=" + "W5cHbxAVBvNS2316KIvp21uXB3"
Any hint on how to manage the scraping process with you api instead that this url request?
Thank you for your time, i really appreciate that!

👊 @davidteather

secs = float(secsval) throw error : "ValueError: could not convert string to float:"

use private apis, not web thing

david, you should use tiktoks private apis rather than web because web will ratelimit and ip ban u in a week or even 3 days of using it.
