Retrieve 'Liked' Videos or Account Metadata?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's great having functionality to download individual videos and whole accounts-worth of videos too, but my real use-case, particularly with the proposed TikTok shutdown, is that I want to be able to retrieve all my liked videos.
EDIT: Apologies, I see there's a number of issues relating to this that have been closed. Is auth actually required for looking at a user's public saved files? Is there A particular API request we can make/test to retrieve that data at least once?
Describe the solution you'd like The most obvious path would be to retrieve the liked videos immediately - they'd have to be set to public though which isn't a big deal.
tiktok-scraper user USERNAME --liked or something of the sort.
An alternative might be to retrieve the metadata of an account and use that to parse through from-file instead?
tiktok-scraper user USERNAME --meta if such data exists, then I can cut out a particular section and put that into a separate file.
{
liked-video: [
00000000001,
00000000002,
.. etc
],
}
I can't seem to find any functionality like that but I might be overlooking something obvious!
Not yet, but will be soon
Do you know how soon the option to scrape liked videos will happen? Thanks!
