FAQ

Do I need a Douyin account, cookies or a Chinese proxy? No.

Can it download the video files? Each row links to the video without watermark (videoMeta.playUrl), valid for about a day, and to its cover.

Can I search by keyword? Use the Douyin Search Scraper.

Is it legal? It reads only public profiles and videos. Captions, usernames and locations can be personal data under China's PIPL, the GDPR and similar laws: use them for a legitimate purpose and honor deletion requests.
