TikTokLive is an unofficial Python library that connects to any TikTok LIVE stream via a creator's @unique_id and receives real-time events such as comments, gifts, likes, follows, shares, viewer counts, and battles over the Webcast websocket. It is a reverse-engineering project (not a supported vendor API) intended for building chat bots, gift trackers, overlays, and analytics tools.
Use cases
- read tiktok live chat comments in real time with python
- build a tiktok gift tracker or donation alert bot
- create OBS overlays driven by tiktok live events
- track viewer counts, likes, and battle scores for tiktok streams
- make a tiktok live chat bot that responds to comments
- build text-to-speech readers for tiktok livestreams
- moderate tiktok live rooms by reacting to deleted messages
When to choose
- you need real-time TikTok LIVE events in Python without login or credentials
- you are building bots, overlays, alerts, or analytics on top of TikTok livestreams
- you want a free, self-hosted alternative to managed TikTok LIVE APIs
When to avoid
- you need guaranteed production uptime, since TikTok can change the Webcast protocol without notice
- you require an officially supported or vendor-backed API
- your project cannot comply with the AGPL-3.0 license
