Hej there, i have created the "tiktok_db" in phpmyadmin, import the sql file, and so go to localhost/tik(my folder)/php/index.php

Some errors there ! And want a password and username, I set my tiktok account, and doesn't work ...

Can you explain me step by step how your application works and how to use it... Ty

First of all, thank you for checking out.

Application is divided into three parts:

• PHP for serving the user and acting as middle man between user and API
• NodeJS, a API service for entertaining video download requests
• Python, a API service for entertaining search requests

Since you are good with PHP part. You need to have following for running nodejs and python service:

• Python 3.7 or above
• NodeJS 14+

Setup

1. In terminal, cd into 'node-api' directory of the project.
2. Run following command to install all the nodejs dependencies npm install
3. cd into 'python-api' folder and create a virtual environment by following command On Linux/Mac OS: python3 -m venv env On Windows: py -m venv env
4. Activate the virtual environment by following command On Linux/Mac OS: source env/bin/activate On Windows: .\env\Scripts\activate
5. Install python libraries by following commands pip install gevent Flask-RESTful TikTokApi (if pip is not installed: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#ensure-you-can-run-pip-from-the-command-line)
6. Edit 'python-api/app.py' file and remove proxy="YOUR_PROXY" argument from the function. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with s_v_web_id cookie content from tiktok website (first login to your tiktok account then follow these steps: https://i.imgur.com/4Eo9Vil.png)

At this point you are ready to run both python and node services. Run Servers

1. In terminal, go to 'node-api' directory and run node app.js server will start at port 3000
2. Open another terminal, go to python-api directory then activate virtual environment (setup step 4) and run: On Linux/MacOS: python3 app.py On Windows: py app.py Python server should start at port 5000

Database Go your application database, select for 'users' table and check the username and password for login. Select 'settings' table and edit 'setting_value' column where setting_name is "site_url" to your web server path (without tailing backslash) e.g. your value can be "localhost/tik(my folder)/php"

That's it. You can now login to application, search for hashtag/profile/video. Save the video or download it directly.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
