Error: Can't extract user metadata from the html page. Make sure that user does exist and try to use proxy at TikTokScraper.getUserProfileInfo (node_modules\tiktok-scraper\build\core\TikTok.js:713:15) at async Object.exports.getUserProfileInfo (node_modules\tiktok-scraper\build\entry.js:138:20)

I've been using this https://www.npmjs.com/package/got-scraping

with this little function

I'm only using it for the same tiktok account everytime though and only to check the follower count 🤷

async function TikTokUpdate() {
    console.log('Tiktok update started')
    const Tok = await gotScraping({ url: 'TIKTOK USER URL' });

    const start = Tok.body.indexOf('followers-count');
    const end = Tok.body.indexOf('<', start);
    const tikTokF = Tok.body.slice(start + 17, end);
    console.log('Tiktok followers = ' + tikTokF);

    return parseInt(tikTokF);
}

I see.. I don't think you can download videos using this though. :(

https://rapidapi.com/neotank/api/tiktok-bulletproof take a look at this scraping solution, it offers limited set of endpoints but is pretty stable.
