tiktok-private-api

Unofficial TikTok Private API SDK for Python. Scrape, automate, and interact — full mobile signing, 50+ endpoints, Android + iOS.

pip install tiktok-private-api

from tiktokflow import TikTokAPI

api = TikTokAPI()  # trial: 10 requests/day, no key needed

feed = api.feed.for_you(count=5)
for video in feed["aweme_list"]:
    print(video["desc"], video["statistics"]["digg_count"], "likes")

• Your IP → TikTok directly. The signing server only computes cryptographic headers.
• It never sees TikTok's responses or your data.
• Full signing stack: X-Gorgon, X-Argus, X-Ladon, ECDSA Device Guard, Ticket Guard.
