An unofficial, reverse-engineered TypeScript API wrapper for TikTok (formerly Musical.ly), published as the npm package tiktok-api. It lets Node.js applications log in and interact with TikTok's private mobile API, but the project is explicitly no longer maintained.
Use cases
- fetch TikTok user profiles and posts programmatically
- search TikTok users and hashtags
- list followers and following accounts
- like posts and post comments via script
- retrieve the For You and Following feeds
- automate follow/unfollow and follow request management
When to choose
- you need to script against an old TikTok app version (9.1.0) for research or archival purposes
- you can supply your own URL signing implementation and device parameters via a MITM proxy
When to avoid
- you need a working integration with the current TikTok API, since the project is unmaintained and endpoints have changed
- you cannot provide anti-spam URL signing or capture device parameters yourself
- you need a supported, ToS-compliant solution
