Initializes Pyktok by extracting authentication cookies from a specified browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). This helps in avoiding rate limiting and accessing restricted content. It requires the browser to be installed on the system.

```python
import pyktok as pyk

pyk.specify_browser('chrome')

pyk.specify_browser('firefox')

pyk.specify_browser('edge')
```

--------------------------------

### Launch Pyktok Streamlit interface

```python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('video_data.csv')
print(f"Total videos: {len(df)}")
print(f"Total views: {df['video_playcount'].sum()}")
print(f"Average likes: {df['video_diggcount'].mean():.0f}")
verified = df[df['author_verified'] == True]
print(f"Videos from verified accounts: {len(verified)}")
```

### Extracting Video and User Data from JSON

Source: https://context7.com/dfreelon/pyktok/llms.txt

Demonstrates how to parse raw TikTok JSON responses to retrieve specific video metrics and author verification status.

```python
if tt_json:
    video_id = list(tt_json.get('ItemModule', {}).keys())[0]
    video_data = tt_json['ItemModule'][video_id]
    description = video_data.get('desc')
    duration = video_data.get('video', {}).get('duration')
    stats = video_data.get('stats', {})
    print(f"Video: {video_id}")
    print(f"Description: {description}")
    print(f"Duration: {duration} seconds")
    print(f"Play count: {stats.get('playCount')}")
    user_data = tt_json.get('UserModule', {}).get('users', {})
    if user_data:
        user_id = list(user_data.keys())[0]
        user_info = user_data[user_id]
        print(f"Author verified: {user_info.get('verified')}")
```

--------------------------------

### Download TikTok Data from Multi-Page Sources

Source: https://context7.com/dfreelon/pyktok/llms.txt

Downloads approximately 30 videos and/or metadata lines from a TikTok user page, hashtag page, or related videos section. It uses the TikTokApi library with Playwright for headless automation. The `headless` parameter can be set to `False` to troubleshoot `EmptyResponseException` errors.

```python
import pyktok as pyk

pyk.specify_browser('chrome')

# Download metadata from a user's profile (around 30 videos)
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_page(
    'tiktok',  # username without @
    ent_type='user',
    save_video=False,
    metadata_fn='tiktok_user.csv'
)

# Download videos and metadata from a user page
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_page(
    'charlidamelio',
    ent_type='user',
    save_video=True,
    metadata_fn='charli_videos.csv',
    sleep=4
)
```

pyk.save_tiktok_multi_page('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675', ent_type='video_related', save_video=False, metadata_fn='related_videos.csv')

# Try with headless=False if encountering errors
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_page('tiktok', ent_type='user', save_video=False, metadata_fn='tiktok_user.csv', headless=False)

# Specify custom video count
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_page('python', ent_type='hashtag', video_ct=50, save_video=False, metadata_fn='python_hashtag.csv')
```

--------------------------------

### Download Multiple TikTok Videos from URLs

Source: https://context7.com/dfreelon/pyktok/llms.txt

Downloads videos and/or metadata from multiple TikTok URLs provided as a list or from a text file. It includes a configurable sleep time between requests to prevent rate limiting. The `save_video` and `metadata_fn` parameters control the output.

```python
import pyktok as pyk

pyk.specify_browser('chrome')

# From a list of URLs
tiktok_videos = [
    'https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675',
    'https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7011536772089924869',
    'https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio/video/7123456789012345678'
]

# Download metadata only with 2-second delay between requests
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_urls(
    tiktok_videos,
    save_video=False,
    metadata_fn='tiktok_data.csv',
    sleep=2
)

# Download videos and metadata with longer delay to avoid bans
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_urls(
    tiktok_videos,
    save_video=True,
    metadata_fn='tiktok_data.csv',
    sleep=5
)

# From a text file containing URLs (one URL per line)
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_urls(

    save_video=True,
    metadata_fn='batch_data.csv',
    sleep=3
)
```

--------------------------------

### Download Single TikTok Video and Metadata

Source: https://context7.com/dfreelon/pyktok/llms.txt

Downloads a single TikTok video (MP4 or JPEG for slideshows) and/or its metadata to a CSV file. The function can save only the video, only the metadata, or both. If the video exists in the metadata file, it's appended as a new row.

```python
import pyktok as pyk

pyk.specify_browser('chrome')

# Download video and save metadata to CSV
pyk.save_tiktok(
    'https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675',
    save_video=True,
    metadata_fn='video_data.csv'
)

# Download metadata only (no video file)
pyk.save_tiktok(
    'https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7011536772089924869',
    save_video=False,
    metadata_fn='video_data.csv'
)

# Download video only (no metadata)
pyk.save_tiktok(
    'https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675',
    save_video=True,
    metadata_fn=''
)
```

### Download TikTok metadata and comments using Pyktok

Source: https://github.com/dfreelon/pyktok/blob/main/README.md

Functions to save metadata from related videos or extract specific comment counts from a TikTok video URL. These functions allow for local file saving and data retrieval, with a recommendation to manage request frequency to avoid server-side bans.

```python
import pyktok as pyk

# Download metadata from related videos
pyk.save_tiktok_multi_page('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675', ent_type='video_related', save_video=False, metadata_fn='7106594312292453675.csv')

# Download comments from a video
pyk.save_tiktok_comments('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675', comment_count=30, save_comments=True, return_comments=False)
```

--------------------------------

### Retrieve TikTok video JSON object

Source: https://github.com/dfreelon/pyktok/blob/main/README.md

Retrieves the raw JSON object associated with a specific TikTok video URL. This is useful for accessing deep metadata structures directly from the video page.

```python
tt_json = pyk.alt_get_tiktok_json('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7011536772089924869?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1')
```

--------------------------------

### Retrieve raw JSON data with alt_get_tiktok_json and get_tiktok_json

Source: https://context7.com/dfreelon/pyktok/llms.txt

Extracts raw JSON metadata from TikTok pages using either the UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION or SIGI_STATE script tags. These methods provide access to comprehensive video and author details not available in standard exports.

```python
import pyktok as pyk
import json

pyk.specify_browser('chrome')

# Get full JSON object using alt_get_tiktok_json
tt_json = pyk.alt_get_tiktok_json('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7011536772089924869')

# Get JSON using SIGI_STATE format
tt_json_sigi = pyk.get_tiktok_json('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675')
```

--------------------------------

### Extract TikTok comments with save_tiktok_comments

Source: https://context7.com/dfreelon/pyktok/llms.txt

Retrieves comment data from a specific TikTok video, including IDs, text, and engagement metrics. Data can be saved directly to a CSV file or returned as a pandas DataFrame.

```python
import pyktok as pyk

pyk.specify_browser('chrome')

# Save comments to file
pyk.save_tiktok_comments('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675', comment_count=30, save_comments=True, return_comments=False)

# Return comments as DataFrame
comments_df = pyk.save_tiktok_comments('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7106594312292453675', comment_count=30, save_comments=False, return_comments=True)
print(comments_df.head())
```
