What data you get

For every Douyin post, this scraper returns:

Data	Description
No-watermark video URL	Direct MP4 link, ready to download or embed
Caption & hashtags	Full description text plus extracted hashtags
Author	Display name, unique ID, and profile ID
Engagement	Likes, comments, shares, and saves (individual video links)
Publish date	When the video was posted
Duration & region	Video length and country
Cover image	Thumbnail URL
Music	Track title and audio URL
Photo posts	Image URLs for slideshow-style posts
On-screen text (OCR)	Douyin's own OCR of text shown in the video (individual video links, when available)

How to use the Douyin scraper

1. Add Douyin links — paste one or more video URLs (e.g. https://www.douyin.com/video/1234... or a v.douyin.com share link) and/or creator profile URLs (homepage/share links, or a bare sec_uid like MS4wLjABAAAA...). You can mix both.
2. Set your options — choose how many videos to pull per profile (20–5,000). Values below 20 are silently raised to 20, because the profile endpoint always returns a full 20-item page.
3. Run and export — click Start, then download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or fetch them via the API.

Engagement counts (likes, comments, shares, saves) and on-screen OCR text are included for individual video links. Profile listings return each post's caption, publish date, author, media links, and hashtags — without per-video counts.

To save a video file, fetch the URL in videoUrlNoWatermark (or one of the videoMirrors) with your own tool of choice — the links are direct CDN URLs that need no login or cookies.
