## What it is
A self-hosted Node.js service that generates valid X-Bogus and X-Gnarly signature tokens for TikTok API requests using a headless browser running TikTok's own SDK. It exposes HTTP endpoints (/signature and /fetch) and supports Docker deployment, proxies, and concurrent request queuing.

## Use cases
- generate tiktok x-bogus signature for api requests
- scrape tiktok user posts via item_list api
- sign tiktok api urls without paid service
- self-host tiktok signature generator with docker
- rotate proxies when calling tiktok api
- get tiktok cookies and user agent for signed requests

## When to choose
- you need valid TikTok API signatures for scraping or data collection
- you want a free self-hosted alternative to paid signature services
- you need proxy rotation and concurrent request handling
- you prefer Docker-based deployment of a signature service

## When to avoid
- you need signatures for platforms other than TikTok
- you cannot run a headless browser or Node.js server
- your use case may violate TikTok's terms of service
- you need a lightweight library without browser overhead
