Available Options

$api=new \Sovit\TikTok\Api(array(
	"user-agent"		=> 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.106 Safari/537.36', // Valid desktop browser HTTP User Agent
	"proxy-host"		=> false,
	"proxy-port"		=> false,
	"proxy-username"	=> false,
	"proxy-password"	=> false,
	"cache-timeout"		=> 3600 // 1 hours cache timeout
	"cookie_file"		=> sys_get_temp_dir() . 'tiktok.txt', // cookie file path
	"nwm_endpoint"		=> "https://my-api.example.com" // private api endpoint
	"api_key"		=> "API_KEY" // see below on how to get API key
	), $cache_engine=false);

Cache Engine

You can build your own engine that will store and fetch cache from your local storage to prevent frequent requests to TikTok server. This can help being banned from TikTok server for too frequent requests.

Cache engine should have callable get and set methods that the API class uses

// Example using WordPress transient as cache engine
Class MyCacheEngine{
	function get($cache_key){
		return get_transient($cache_key);
	}
	function set($cache_key,$data,$timeout=3600){
		return set_transient($cache_key,$data,$timeout);
	}
}

Usage

$cache_engine=new MyCacheEngine();
$api=new \Sovit\TikTok\Api(array(/* config array*/),$cache_engine);

Stream and Download videos

Follow examples on /example folder for video stream and download example Note: TikTok videos will not play directly when used in HTML video player as they require www.tiktok.com as http referrer.

Proxy Support

To use proxy, provide proxy-host, proxy-port, proxy-username, proxy-password It's highly recommended that you use proxy to prevent your IP from getting banned.

IPRoyal

It's highly recommended to use good Proxy service if you are making lots of requests in short interval of time. IPRoyal is good. It's my referral link and I would get a bit from it

To-Do

  • Save the Universe
  • SOCKS proxy support
  • Multiple proxy support (taking turns in round-robin. Act as rotating proxy)

Non-watermarked video url for newer videos

TikTok videos don't have video id as meta data on watermarked video posted after ~24-28 July 2020. Check below for subscription plans for non watermarked video API.

Discussion

Empty results?

Use proxy. You are making too many API requests in short interval of time. Rotating proxy is recommended.

Disclaimer

TikTok is always updating their API endpoints but I will try to keep this library whenever possible. I take no responsibility if you or your IP gets banned using this API. It's recommended that you use proxy.
