TikTok-Api VS deleted-tweets-archive

I tried TikAPI, but the API request limitations make it impossible... Now I found this unofficial API on GitHub but I am lost...

I've never used the TikTokApi (hell, I've never used TT), but this does look very similar to the following (currently unfixed) bug from Dev 2022: https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/issues/979

So I was trying to use the unofficial python tiktok api and when I run it gives me this error:

You would need some form of API. Check out: https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api

Here's a TikTok API for Python. And here's the Hue API (obviously, that's only useful if you have Phillips Hue lights).

But so far TikTok seems to be annoying to crawl, as in most tools like TikTokAPI, tiktok-scraper or more generally yt-dlp break regularly. My own basic attempts work for some data but I'm more or less waiting for them to break, too.

And there's not a working version of an Unofficial API either--seems TikTok has enabled captchas to prevent data scraping.

So what you're telling me is I shouldn't apply to TikTok having created TikTok-API

Not sure why people here are saying there isn't an API available for TikTok. https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api is a free API that can be uses.

As part of a project centered around TikTok (coming soon!) I needed a way to get a video's media. The closest thing that TikTok officially provides is their oembed API, but unfortunately this only includes basic information like title, thumbnail_url etc. And other unofficial APIs cost money or require python, which I don't want to do. So I needed another way to retrieve this info.

Someone threw Stonetoss' deleted Tweets on Github.

Glenn doesn't avoid culture wars. Chris Rufos entire movement is about culture wars. In general the whole CRT hysteria and attempts to overhaul the educational system boils down to culture wars. Plus Glenn has been a staunch defender of LibsOfTikTok. He still claims that the account has never doxxed anyone, which has long been debunked. https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1517212808005529606. That account had a laundry list of deleted tweets. https://github.com/salcoast/deleted-tweets-archive/blob/main/datasets/libsoftiktok-deleted.md Also this account has regular contact with Ron Desantis' press secretary, giving her info that leads to teachers getting harassed and threatened. https://twitter.com/theserfstv/status/1516629690802352134 And it's not limited to teachers anymore. It's anyone who shows support for LGBT people. https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1516829759333969924

And the right calls everyone a marxist and a groomer if they don't agree with them. Libs of TikTok is incredibly popular with conservatives, including conservatives in power, and literally all they do is call everyone a groomer and get LGBT people harassed. They deleted a bunch of their tweets, but the internet is forever. https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1517212808005529606, https://twitter.com/MattBinder/status/1516829759333969924, https://github.com/salcoast/deleted-tweets-archive/blob/main/datasets/libsoftiktok-deleted.md Just yesterday we had a bunch of 'Patriot Front' dudes show up to a pride event in a U-haul with a cache full of weapons. That's the shit that happens when you just ignore culture wars entirely because the other side is controlling the narrative. And when the right controls the narratives, LGBT people end up under the bus.

Oh dude there is too much stuff. They've been furiously deleting some of the more problematic tweets since the lady who created the account was identified. Here's a bunch of deleted ones: https://github.com/salcoast/deleted-tweets-archive/blob/main/datasets/libsoftiktok-deleted.md

This is a remarkably uninformed comment. Go actually look at what they post (some of the thousands they've deleted). They lie, slander, misrepresent, and dox repeatedly https://github.com/salcoast/deleted-tweets-archive/blob/main...

I also wanted to know if it's real. With some digging I encountered comments saying someone just edited a pic and framed libs of tiktok. Then when asked for proof they were sent to something called "Wayback MachineWayback Machine for libs of tiktok" which supposedly records the deleted tweets posted by the user. I clicked the link and couldn't find a tweet made on the 20th of April 2022. Here's another linkedited tweet sample where u can see a sample of an edited tweet in the replies.
