Platforms
I built myself a TikTokToJsonFeed tool a month ago to follow some profiles, because I donβt want to install the app or create myself an account there. That tool uses a JavaScript library called tiktok-scraper. Unfortunately TikTok changed some things in the UI or unofficial API and now the scraper is broken. This and the fact that platforms like TikTok or Instagram (and many more) block IPs when they detect scrapers is actually a big warning sign. β οΈ Such platforms donβt want to do anything but keep users on them, show them ads and make the big bucks.
