I scraped 5.94 billion TikTok videos and 3.23 billion profiles in 3 weeks. Uploaded full dataset to Hugging Face for free. Step by step tutorial and code below. [P]

Just uploaded the full 5.94 billion TikTok video dataset to Hugging Face. It’s fully open source:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/kuben-developer/tiktok-videos-4b

This dataset was collected using a TikTok mobile app reverse-engineering method I developed a few years ago. The method allowed me to extract billions of videos, profiles, comments and replies, hashtags, sounds, and more.

Full write-up and code here:

Disclaimer: The TikTok app exposes 24 endpoints that can be accessed without a TikTok account, so the data itself is publicly accessible. But accessing it this way is probably still against TikTok’s ToS. Also, the full code is not free, I charge a small fee for access to it.
