TikTok® Custom PHP Scraper

Hi there!

I have many TikTok releated web projects and I was looking for a TikTok Custom PHP API or Scraper, All what I found was paid, limited scripts and most of them are in Python. I do not want so many features, I just want a simple script which I give it a TikTok Video URL then I want to get few details about it: Canonical URL, Username & Video ID That is it!

So I decided to write my own custom PHP script to get these details.

Maybe you guys want the same thing, I hope it will be useful for someone else. Enjoy!

Note: This script can be customized to scrape any additional data you want for a TikTok Video. I have only implemented the features that fits my needs.

Installation

composer require hki98/tiktok-custom-php-scraper

Usage

Instantiate the TikTokScraper class with the TikTok video URL and then call the scrapeVideoDetails() method to get the details of the video.

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use CustomTikTokScraper\TikTokScraper;

$url = $_GET['url']; // Assuming $url is obtained from user input
$scraper = new TikTokScraper($url);
$result = $scraper->scrapeVideoDetails();
echo json_encode($result, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Returned Data:

As I mentioned above, I have made this script to only scrape the data that I need. So, It will return only these values for the given TikTok video URL:

{
  "status": "ok",
  "link": "https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok/video/7353002700935679278",
