Bulk Tiktok Downloader

bulk TikTok downloader

Use this skill to run a local bulk TikTok downloader safely and reproducibly.

Safety + legality

• Download only content you are authorized to download.
• Respect platform Terms of Service, local copyright rules, and user privacy.
• Do not bypass paywalls or private/protected content.

Inputs

• URL list file (one URL per line)
• Optional output directory

Lines starting with # are comments and ignored.

Setup

From workspace root:

python3 -m pip install --user -r skills/bulk-tiktok-downloader/scripts/requirements.txt

Run

Default (uses urls.txt next to script and downloads/ output):

python3 skills/bulk-tiktok-downloader/scripts/downloader.py

Custom URL file:

python3 skills/bulk-tiktok-downloader/scripts/downloader.py my_urls.txt

Custom URL file + output directory:

python3 skills/bulk-tiktok-downloader/scripts/downloader.py my_urls.txt my_downloads

Recommended workflow

1. Validate URL list file exists and is non-empty.
2. Run downloader.
3. Report successful vs failed counts.
4. Surface failed URLs and likely reason (private/deleted/region restricted/rate limit).

Troubleshooting

• No module named yt_dlp → install requirements.
• File not found → verify URL file path.
• Frequent failures/rate limit → reduce batch size and retry later.
