Config file usage is unclear #27

Open Mohd2493 opened 9 months ago

Mohd2493 commented 9 months ago

does anyone have an example config file layout

File name of configuration file to store TikTok credentials to

Hi Mohd2493, thanks for opening this issue. Currently, the configuration file argument is not used by the tool and is incorrectly documented.

Currently, the readme and argparse include a config parameter that is unused by the tool:

--config CONFIG File name of configuration file to store TikTok credentials to

The argument is passed to TikTokDownloader, but is not used.

Looks like Authorization was removed from here in #22 as unneeded. @trislee can this be removed safely?
