Extract data from TikTok without needing any login information or API keys.
Install the tiktokapipy package (or add it to your project requirements) and set up Playwright:
pip install tiktokapipy
python -m playwright installTikTokPy has both a synchronous and an asynchronous API. The interfaces are the same, but the asynchronous API requires awaiting of certain functions and iterators.
Both APIs must be used as context managers. To get video information in both APIs:
| Synchronous | Asynchronous |
|---|---|
from tiktokapipy.api import TikTokAPI
with TikTokAPI() as api:
video = api.video(video_link)
... |
from tiktokapipy.async_api import AsyncTikTokAPI
async with AsyncTikTokAPI() as api:
video = await api.video(video_link)
... |
More examples, including how to download videos and slideshows, can be found in the documentation.
