# Douyin Downloader

Download Douyin videos using the TikHub API. Handles short links, full URLs, and bare video IDs.

## Configuration

Requires a TikHub API token in `~/.openclaw/config.json`:

```json
{ "tikhub_api_token": "your-token-here" }
```

Free tokens: https://user.tikhub.io/register

## Workflow

1. **Detect input** — identify a Douyin link or modal_id from the user's message
2. **Run the script** — call `python3 {baseDir}/scripts/douyin_download.py`
3. **Show result** — report the modal_id and either the video URL or the saved file path

## Commands

### Get video info (no download)
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/douyin_download.py "https://v.douyin.com/xxxxx/"
```

### Download to default location (~/Downloads/douyin/)
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/douyin_download.py "https://v.douyin.com/xxxxx/" --download
```

### Download to a custom directory
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/douyin_download.py "https://v.douyin.com/xxxxx/" --download --output-dir /path/to/dir
```

### Use a bare modal_id
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/douyin_download.py "7615599455526585067" --download
```

## Accepted Input Formats

| Format | Example |
|--------|---------|
| Short link | `https://v.douyin.com/iABCxyz/` |
| Full URL with modal_id | `https://www.douyin.com/video/7615599455526585067` |
| URL query param | `https://www.douyin.com/jingxuan?modal_id=7615599455526585067` |
| Bare modal_id | `7615599455526585067` |

## Output

- **Without `--download`**: prints modal_id + direct video URL
- **With `--download`**: downloads to `~/Downloads/douyin/douyin_<modal_id>.mp4` (or custom dir)
