## What it is
A TypeScript library and CLI tool that scrapes TikTok metadata from user, hashtag, trend, and music pages and downloads video posts without requiring login. It can save metadata to JSON/CSV, download media with or without watermarks, and sign URLs for custom TikTok API requests.

## Use cases
- download tiktok videos without watermark
- scrape tiktok user profile metadata
- collect hashtag feed data from tiktok
- export tiktok post metadata to csv or
- batch download tiktok videos from a list of users
- get tiktok video metadata by url
- scrape trending tiktok videos

## When to choose
- you need programmatic access to TikTok data without an official API key
- you want a CLI for batch downloading TikTok videos with resume support
- you need metadata extraction from users, hashtags, trends, or music pages in Node.js

## When to avoid
- you need an officially supported and stable TikTok API
- you work outside the Node.js/TypeScript ecosystem
- you need guaranteed uptime, as scraping can break when TikTok changes its web API
