TikTok Video Share/Play Bot

This Python-based application represents an attempt to understand the capability to simulate the sharing or playing of a TikTok video through the TikTok mobile API.

This piece of software should be seen as a Proof of Concept and should not be used for malicious purposes.

Requirements

For Python

• OS
• Threading
• Random
• Time
• Requests

This bot uses os to interact with the Operating System, threading to execute functions simultaneously, random to generate random numbers for device_id, time to keep track of how long the bot has been running and requests to send POST requests to TikTok's mobile API.

Overview

TikTok API

This bot interacts with https://api19-core-useast5.us.tiktokv.com/aweme/v1/aweme/stats/, an endpoint from the TikTok API. This endpoint is used to update the share, play, like counts etc. on a TikTok video.

Threading

To maximize efficiency, we use threading to facilitate multiple requests being sent at the same time. This results in a quicker and more streamlined running of the bot.

Random

The bot generates a random 19-digit number using the random function to mimic a device_id. This is to trick the API into believing that the request is coming from an actual mobile device.

Detailed Workflow

1. The video_id of the video you want to share/play as well as the mode, which can be either share_delta or play_delta, are passed to Sharebot() as parameters.

bot = Sharebot(
    video_id = input("[?] id > "),
    threads = 5000,
    mode = "share_delta" #play_delta
)

2. starter() method in Sharebot() is called which runs an endless loop that checks the thread count and, if it's less than the set thread count in the parameters, it starts a new thread object with target function send_request().

def starter(self):
    while True:
        if threading.active_count() < self.threads:
            threading.Thread(target=self.send_request).start()

3. send_request() method sends a POST request to TikTok's API with the aid, channel, device_type, device_id, os_version, version_code, app_name, device_platform, item_id (which is your video_id) and the mode ('share_delta' or 'play_delta') all set as parameters.

def send_request(self):
    try:
        req = self.sess.post(
            url     = "https://api19-core-useast5.us.tiktokv.com/aweme/v1/aweme/stats/?", 
            headers = {
                "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
                "user-agent": "com.zhiliaoapp.musically/2022501030 (Linux; U; Android 7.1.2; fr; SM-N976N; Build/QP1A.190711.020;tt-ok/3.12.13.1)"
            }, 
            params = {
                "aid": 1988,
                "channel": "googleplay",
                "device_type": "SM-N976N",
                "device_id": random.randint(1000000000000000000, 9999999999999999999),
                "os_version": "7.1.2",
                "version_code": 250103,
                "app_name": "musical_ly",
                "device_platform": "android",
                "item_id": self.video_id,
                self.mode: 1
            },
            stream = True
        )
        if req.json()["status_code"] == 0:
            self.shares += 1
            os.system(f"title Sent :{self.shares} ^| Speed :{round((int(self.shares) / (time.time() - self.start)), 2)}/s")
            pass
    except:
        pass

This bot is a basic illustration to understand the mechanism of TikTok's API interactions. The actual functionality to increment the share/play count might or might not succeed as it depends on the security measures and rate limit rules implemented on TikTok's API backend. Use this knowledge responsibly. It is not to be misused for exploiting or hacking purposes.
