Title: Enhancing TikTok-Api Integration for TikTok-to-YouTube Automation Projects

Issue:

We are developing a project, tiktok-to-youtube-automation, aimed at automating the process of downloading TikTok videos and uploading them to YouTube. In our pursuit of efficient and reliable solutions, we have explored various TikTok API wrappers, including TikTok-Api.

Context:

During our development, we encountered challenges with existing tools. For instance, the tiktok-scraper project has been discontinued, as noted in this issue. This has led us to seek alternative solutions for integrating TikTok functionalities into our automation workflow.

Proposal:

We are considering integrating TikTok-Api into our project to handle TikTok video retrieval. Before proceeding, we would like to understand the current capabilities and limitations of TikTok-Api, especially concerning:

• Video Downloading: The ability to programmatically download TikTok videos without watermarks.
• Rate Limiting: Handling TikTok's rate limits to ensure stable operation.
• Maintenance and Support: The project's activity level and responsiveness to issues or updates.

Request for Collaboration:

We invite the maintainers and community of TikTok-Api to provide insights into these aspects. Additionally, we welcome suggestions for best practices when integrating TikTok-Api into automation projects similar to ours.

Broader Community Engagement:

We believe that a robust solution for TikTok to YouTube automation can benefit a wide range of users. By collaborating and sharing knowledge across projects, we can develop more resilient and feature-rich tools for the community.
