Tok-DL: A TikTok Downloader that actually works

Features

• Saves both video and gallery posts, including all of their metadata
• Highest quality, no watermarks
• Caches already-downloaded and unavailable posts to avoid fetching them again

Installation

pip install tok-dl

Usage

Tok-DL takes input in the form of newline-separated links. This format is the same as is contained in TikTok personal data downloads. It will ignore commented lines.

Usage: tok-dl [OPTIONS] INPUT_FILE

  TikTok Archiver

Options:
  -m, --metadata-only     Only download metadata.
  -o, --out DIRECTORY     Output directory. (default ./tiktok)
  -e, --errors-file FILE  File to save errors to. (default ./errors.log)
  --no-cache              Bypass the bad URL cache.
  --help                  Show this message and exit.

Limitations

• Since Tok-DL utilizes the TiKWM API, there is a limit of 5,000 requests per day, and 1 per second. Tok-DL automatically handles this on a second-by-second basis, but you will begin seeing errors if you hit the daily limit. Thankfully, you can easily pick up where you left off by feeding errors.log back in to Tok-DL as an input file.
• Requires wget. WSL is recommended if using on Windows.
