Mentions field doesn't map to actual mentioned TikTok accounts

Closed

It looks like the Mentions field information is parsed directly from the post text, and the information about the real account being mentioned gets lost because the @ mentioned in the post text does not necessarily match the actual profile being mentioned. Here's an example: I scraped the @foodnetwork profile and got video with URL: https://www.tiktok.com/@foodnetwork/video/7430496306172284190 The Mentions field from the scraped data includes ['@Andrea'], which is found in the video post text. However, the link mentioned on the page actually refers to the profile https://www.tiktok.com/@breckinridgestreet, which isn't part of the scraping data. Is there a way to include that? Thanks!

Any updates on this? I want to understand if this is the expected behavior or a bug. The mentions field retrieves the profile nickName, which is not as helpful a the username

Hi, thanks for opening this issue and your patience!

Yes, as you describe, currently the scraper only extracts just the user's nickname. This is clearly not enough, so we will add extraction for the other user fields, such as the custom unique user ID (name) and regular user ID (just numerical).

We will probably change the current output format for mentions to the following:

1"mentions": [
2    {
3        "name": "breckinridgestreet",
4        "nickName": "Andrea",
5        "id": "7069396750772257835"
6    }
7]

I will keep you updated here about the progress, thanks!
