tiktok-scraper VS instaloader

Alternatively https://github.com/drawrowfly/tiktok-scraper

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 this seems to be the most extensive tiktok scraper but installation gave me issues and I’m only used to python/bash, not NPM/nodeJS apps: https://github.com/drawrowfly/tiktok-scraper

>TikTok hashtag analysis toolset

The tool helps to download posts and videos from TikTok for a given set of hashtags over a period of time.

Users can create a growing database of posts for specific hashtags which can then be used for further hashtag analysis.

It uses the tiktok-scraper Node package to download the posts and videos.

I've been archiving a number of accounts for at least 3 years now. I've mainly used https://instaloader.github.io/. Had no problem initially, but now it's pretty easy for an account I use to be suspended. I tried spacing out my downloads but it didn't help. Any thoughts or tips?

lol thank you, I used a script from github that does it automatically so it only takes a few seconds, I will keep updating this one but if somebody needs it for future archiving I used https://instaloader.github.io/

I can understand it could be doubtful if you only read that, but it uses instaloader for processing that specific data and it is completly open source, so you can check them out aswell if you think there's anything unclear about it. Thanks

I would start with python and a library like this one: https://instaloader.github.io/

This is what I use with great success. https://github.com/instaloader/instaloader
