Overview

🚀 A self-hosted data API for Douyin and TikTok. One 'docker compose up', an identity pool that maintains itself, and a REST API, MCP server and web console on top.

Open source, free, and it runs on your own machine — no signup, no quota, nobody else in the path. It fetches posts, authors, comments and search, downloads video and image albums without a watermark (it picks the clean stream the platform already publishes rather than stripping anything), and keeps what it collects in your own PostgreSQL.

These sponsors paid to be here, and Douyin_TikTok_Download_API stays free and open because of it. To sponsor the project, see my GitHub Sponsors page.
