CLI Quick Start

The fastest way to get started — 3 commands from zero to searching:

# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/your-username/douyin.git
cd douyin

# 2. One-click install (auto: Python check → venv → pip install → Playwright Chromium)
bash setup.sh

# 3. Initialize (auto: install Chromium → config → QR login)
source activate.sh && dy init

Then just use:

dy search "AI创业"                                            # Search
dy trending                                                    # Hot trending
dy download https://v.douyin.com/xxxxx/                        # Download (no watermark)
dy publish -t "Hello" -c "My first post" -v video.mp4         # Publish
dy live info ROOM_ID                                           # Live stream info
dy analytics                                                   # Dashboard
dy --help                                                      # All commands

Tips & Known Issues

• Signature algorithm: Douyin frequently updates a-bogus/x-bogus — some API calls may need browser-based signing
• Login: Cookie expires periodically, re-login with dy login
• Rate limiting: Avoid rapid-fire requests, add delays between batch operations
• Proxy: Outside China may need proxy: dy config set api.proxy http://...
• Live recording: Requires ffmpeg: brew install ffmpeg (macOS)

Contributing

Issues and PRs welcome! Areas where help is needed:

• Improved a-bogus signature algorithm
• Batch download by user/hashtag
• Playwright interaction (like/comment/follow)
• More analytics data points
• Test suite
