Here's a quick bit of code to get the most recent trending on TikTok. There's more examples in the examples directory.
from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
api = TikTokApi.get_instance()
# If playwright doesn't work for you try to use selenium
# api = TikTokApi.get_instance(use_selenium=True)
results = 10
# Since TikTok changed their API you need to use the custom_verifyFp option.
# In your web browser you will need to go to TikTok, Log in and get the s_v_web_id value.
trending = api.trending(count=results, custom_verifyFp="")
for tiktok in trending:
# Prints the id of the tiktok
print(tiktok['id'])
print(len(trending))To run the example scripts from the repository root, make sure you use the module form of python the interpreter
python -m examples.getTrendingHere's an example of what a tiktok dictionary looks like.
You can find the documentation here (you'll likely just need the TikTokApi section of the docs), I will be making this documentation more complete overtime as it's not super great right now, but better than just having it in the readme!
