Default TikTok.com Profile Crawler Not Working

Here is an example link.

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Both my download and profile crawl modes are set to API, and I am logged into my account.

Indeed I can reproduce that issue but I'm unsure if it's just an issue with their API or if we're using that API in a wrong way.
Fact is that it worked before and now it fails although we haven't pushed any updates for ~4 weeks.
Other open source projects using that API seem to fail too...

Here are your options for now:
1. Use website mode instead but then JD will only find the first ~30 items.
2. Use this method as a workaround.

Thanks for checking. I hope you guys will be able to resolve this eventually.

Edit: I am aware that you guys have not pushed any updates for almost 4 weeks now. Perhaps that means TikTok has altered how their API functions, and as a result broke JD's TikTok profile crawler?

Profile crawler not working, though single links still work fine. Any updates on this?

The API still looks broken and other popular tools such as yt-dlp are failing too.

What you can do:
Settings -> Plugins -> tiktok.com -> Crawler mode -> Website
If it still doesn't find all items, use this way as a workaround.

I don't see a fix for this happening in the near future.
If you want to download all videos of profiles containing 30 or more items, use this method as a workaround in the meanwhile.

EDIT

One of the other tools for which it is also failing is the popular "yt-dlp" project. You can follow the discussion about this problem here:
github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/3776

This doesn't mean that it will never be fixed

Please use the linked workarounds for now.

Quick update on this:

Status of JD:
- Profile crawling in API mode does not work anymore
- Profile crawling in website mode works for the first ~30 items

yt-dlp:
Looks like someone forked- and fixed the yt-dlp extractor plugin but that solution is Chromium based.
For now we're not planning to add such libraries to JDownloader which means that our tiktok profile crawler will probably remain broken for the most part for now.

You can find the mentioned fork of that yt-dlp extractor in the github ticket I l've linked in my post #9 in this thread.

How to crawl/download full tiktok profiles using JDownloader and some external helper tools even with the partially broken state of the JD profile crawler:
1. Use this method or any other external tools to find all single links to all videos of a profile.
2. Now add those links to JDownloader and let it download those videos.

Just a little heads up for those who e.g. always want to download all current/new videos of a particular profile:
You could first download all videos of a profile using the methods described at the beginning of this post.
Then set Settings -> Plugins -> tiktok.com -> Profile crawl mode -> Website
Now JDownloader should find the latest ~30 items whenever you're adding a profile URL.
Now you could add that profile URL every day to update your personal library of clips of that profile.
While JDownloader does not support that out of the box, you could also automate this process using an EventScripter script.

The above info is neither a fix nor an easy workaround but it should enable you guys to use some of the tiktok profile crawling capabilities of JD even without a real fix of the crawler issues.

Sidenote:
Videos without watermark are expected to be downloadable again after the release of our next set of CORE-updates, see this thread.

EDIT
That update has been released and watermark-free download is working again (set Download mode to "API" for this to work!).

Thanks for the update. I have devised a way to collect and batch download TikTok profiles using yt-dlp. However, yt-dlp's default filenaming scheme is not favorable. The default seems to be "*video title* [*video ID*].ext". I want my filename scheme for TikTok videos to be, "*uploader* *upload date* [*video ID*].ext".

If someone can show me how to do that, I can write out my method for batch downloading TikTok videos with yt-dlp, and share it here for you guys to add to your list of guides. My guide will not have images, so I will try to make my instructions as clear and as easy to understand as possible.

@goldensun87: maybe you can find a way to use yt-dlp or other tool to just collect the post URLs and then feed them to JDownloader. For your filename scheme, maybe check
mankier.com/1/yt-dlp#Output_Template

@J.D
Looks like for some reason this particular item is not available via API.
Solution:
1. Delete that item in JD.
2. Go to Settings -> Plugins -> tiktok.com -> Download Mode -> Website
3. Re-add that item to JD.
