FAQ

Does TikTok Scraper need a TikTok account?

No. It reads public profile pages visible to Better Fetch and does not use private TikTok cookies, passwords, API tokens, or logged-in sessions.

Does this version scrape every TikTok video or hashtag result?

No. Version 0.1 focuses on public profile metadata. Video, hashtag, and search result extraction should be added as separate validated capability slices.

Why are some fields omitted for certain profiles?

The tool only returns fields present in TikTok's public page payload. Private, blocked, removed, or region-limited profile data is not guessed.
