tiktok-dl's Issues

Passing multiple arguments

Hi,
I can't seem to pass multiple arguments to the script
example:

tiktok-dl-master.exe -metadata -archive sophia.ilysm

only works with one option:

tiktok-dl-master.exe -metadata sophia.ilysm

Download videos by hashtag?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this!

Is it possible to download top videos by hashtag rather than user? @pikami

Running this?

How do I run this? It went from Python to a new language?

Stuck at preloading

I've noticed that sometimes the tool gets stuck at "Preloading...", but it was fairly rare.

Yesterday, I started getting that all the time. Tried two different machines, two different ip's. Nothing gets past "Preloading..."

Tiktok changed something or what could be the problem?

Error: encountered exception 'Uncaught' (111:24)

I have not had this problem before. I tried reinstalling everything, but it did not help

When I try to download a link like this:
./tiktok-dl -output /media/videos Downloaded https://www.tiktok.com/@vbadest_beauty/video/6808887309245730054

I get the following:
Error: encountered exception 'Uncaught' (111:24)
failed when scraping item: https://www.tiktok.com/@vbadest_beauty/video/6808887309245730054

thanks for your works, can you supply the tiktok video link no-watermark?

the video have watermark, can this project get the tiktok video without watermark?

Unable to Download all videos from user

./tiktok-dl "username"
Error : exec: "google-chrome": executable file not found in $PATH
Failed while scraping item: "username"

Skippimg a user that doesn't exist in bulk

The script will lag upon "preloading..." when the user isn't found (deleted, etc). I've tried setting a deadline of 60 seconds but then it just quits the entire script instead of continuing to the next user/line

Skip previously downloaded videos?

Hi

a tiny feature request: would it be hard to add a download-archive file, so it can skip previously downloaded videos?

i run it on a server, but i store the videos elsewhere afterwards.

doesn't work

A list of working users will get "preloading...failed to get user uploaded...context deadline exceeded" when i set a -deadline of 10

when trying just 1 working username it gets stuck on preloading

can the tiktok-dl get the tiktok video link without watermark?

if it can do this, that will be the best.

chromedp not latest

is also the go.mod
next release maybe you want to use the latest go when not much change needed on codebase

Bulk download doesn't work

It just says preloading but then timesout after 11 minutes.

Clarification regarding usage in Windows 10

Hello,

I did the following steps in trying to use the program in windows 10.

1)I followed the link to the releases and the downloaded the zip.
2)I extracted the contents onto a folder, it had 2 files: tiktok-dl and license
3)I tried to start the file using powershell as follows and got the error message:

./tiktok-dl lorengray
Error : exec: "google-chrome": executable file not found in %PATH%
Failed while scraping item: lorengray

My question is do I need to download or configure something else?

Thanks,

Can it download video by hashtag?

Awesome project <3
Can it download video by hashtag?

Download from music

Can you add a features for downloading all videos under specified topics (challenge) or music?

For example: tiktok.com/music/xxxxxxxx

Broken as of 3/3/2020

Download for a single user is stopped somewhere before 30 videos. Tested on multiple different accounts on 2 machines and they all give less than 30 returns.

Issue 5 still persists; not skipping user that doesn't exist

When downloading from a list, it said "failed to get user uploads" then stops. It doesn't continue to the next user in the list. It also doesn't say which user so I can remove it from the list manually

Customize deadline

First of all, This tool is amazing!

Would it be possible to add a custom command line parameter to customize the "context deadline." When I try to download an enormous music list the chrome step takes too long and it quits.

Here is the command I was using:
tiktok-dl.exe -metadata -debug https://www.tiktok.com/music/Snap-Em-Up-6623965005760957190

The output:
2020/01/29 15:01:33 context deadline exceeded /music/Snap-Em-Up-6623965005760957190

Maybe add a parameter like -deadline <seconds> so we can download these massive music links.

Thanks!

Video id recognized as account

This is probably by design, so feel free to close.

debug:
Preloading...
Retrieving items...
Error : "ERR: Couldn't find this account"
Failed while scraping item: 6927274884544335105

while that number is data-video-id , i am turning the headless mode off, the new site response is requires log-in.
while using username seems wait on loop.
As i new to go and this codebase, I am open to any input

Latest version and the version right before it is stuck on Preloading

Hey I ran into a bit of a problem today. I tried download by using username until it kept getting stuck on Preloading. It was working last night but now is having troubles. I tried using a vpn, a previous version, and also testing different usernames. Thanks and hope you can fix it.

P.S sorry this is sort of a duplicate issue but It was working perfectly yesterday and now it doesn't, was just wondering if something is wrong.

Not able to download tiktok generated usernames

Tiktok-dl doesn't appear to grab usernames generated by tiktok. @30463788129 is an example. I can find the account online but it turns into a long string. https://www.tiktok.com/@MS4wLjABAAAAb1x2kDqMT6XWon1R93XAAfbpFzCd6e5E6STC-JDksrrTMatNy7-EH6YK5Y_sfT9q

Creating a share URL in the tiktok app doesn't appear to work with tiktok-dl either.

Question

Is it possible to get a user’s following list?
I’ve seen this on github:
https://github.com/botsphp/tiktok_crawler

And didn’t understand how to use it correctly

[enchancment] outoput failed downloads to a log file

Hi,
please make the script output usernames of failed downloads to a separate log file.

The site tik tok changes, so now the download does not work.

Option to download from list

It would be nice if there was a command line option to download a list of users from a file.

Does the limit flag work ?

First off, Thanks a lot for the wonderful tool. Been using a lot since last 2 days.

I am unable to use the -limit flag. Below is my example and it doesnt work.

tiktok-dl -limit 5 tiktokusername

And it doesnt limit to 5 videos, actually doesnt work and gives error - flag provided but not defined: -limit

P.S - Also, does this download videos in the highest available resolution possible ?

Thanks again

Extracting users from a list

Hello @pikami,

I'm not sure how else to contact you since your website doesn't have email and GitHub doesn't have messaging.

I am wondering if it would be possible if you could create a seperate tool than Tiktok-dl that can export the list of users from a page. For example:

• https://www.tiktok.com/tag/workdistractions?
• https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-6737424213700889349

Using -batch-file Doesn't work.

Title.

Replicate;

1. cd Directory
2. tiktok-dl [-archive]... -batch-file users.txt

Output:
Preloading...
Retrieving items...
Error : "ERR: Couldn't find this account"
Failed while scraping item: users.txt

Release 2.0.0 windows not exe?

In the 2.0.0 release the tiktok-dl file has not extension type and doesn't run with cmd. Is it supposed to be this way?

Is there update? I've try but not success

Hello , Pikami, it seems the program not running well. I can not download the video of the tiktok user. Thanks

[enhancement] print successfully downloaded local filenames to a log file, or stdout

Would be helpful when tiktok-dl is a component in a larger process.

Thank you!

add: Download videos per hashtag

That would be also a great functionality.

Stuck on Preloading

Randomly when running tiktok-dl it will just get stuck on Preloading... Looking at the debug.log file it seems to not have permission to access some file even though it will work successfully some times.
The command I am running is "tiktok-dl -archive -output D:\tiktok\test -batch-file D:\tiktok\accounts.txt"
debug.log
