Interesting! Awesome, I'm going to mess with this. Re: the captcha. It's just the norm of how automating tiktok works atm. If you're interested in how the current fork of yt-dlp works that bypasses that:

i'll take a look at that, thanks! will take me a while to understand it though lol
edit - you linked the wrong branch. the link for the one you posted earlier that works is:

wrote a new scraper based on the yt-dlp fork. too long to post here, so uploaded to 0bin:
decryption key (add to URL after a #) is:
fn+erbWj9iYmRc6RkSmHxQ46RudIySnW9zeIXukBnYe
inputs:
- MAX_RETRIES (for playwright getting video IDs)
- PRINT_OUTPUTS (obvious)
- RETRY_FAILED (retry failed downloads from previous runs)
- HOME_DIR (where to save files relative to .py file)
- USER_NAME_LIST (list of user names)
python packages:

I knew something was wrong with my link, but didn't pay too much attention. Sorry! But that's awesome you were able to figure that out. I'm gonna start using this asap!

was enough info for me to figure out the correct link! let me know if you run into any bugs; i did some debugging but likely missed a lot.
curious, does your script grab
a) videos in 1080p ?
b) images+m4a for the slideshow posts ?
thanks for the contribution. may check it out soon when i have a chance, currently i found my own workarounds, but the past script i used off that forked yt-dlp only gave me 720p@hevc
How do I go about using this? Dont know much about programming stuff. I was following neoliberal's collective guide but it seems that it doesnt work anymore.
a) it grabs the tikwm hd download. it has gotten 1080*1920 videos for me (e.g. )
b) it grabs images. does not grab audio
very cool stuff. i will play around with it tomorrow!
does your script auto install the dependencies on first run or will i need to figure out how to install them?
i believe i have playwright; not so familiar besides the basic basics of python, will prob have to install pycryptodome
to get it running:
1) install
2) install the python packages in my post with pip (they are not auto installed)
3) save the code in a file called app.py (or another name)
4) enter the inputs as explained in my post
5) run the program by putting "python app.py" in cmd/terminal
1) install

I'm very stupid at coding. Can you help me about these errors?
My Input:

you have to put the username in quotes ('name' or "name")
e.g.:
and if you want it to download multiple users you can put them on a separate line with a comma at the end of each line
e.g.
you'll also have to enter a HOME_DIR. this is where the files will be saved. you can create a folder called tiktok where the app.py is saved and enter
Any help?
line 4, in <module>
from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Cryptodome'
you need to install the requirements in pip. playwright, pycryptodomex, requests, tqdm
I use . Just open a live in a tab, select it in the extension, and it will start downloading it. You can even change tabs and do something else and it will keep downloading the live in the background.
and this is all under the assumption you have python/pip in your path.
