Q: Do I need a TikTok account or cookies to use this?
A: No. All downloads and metadata extractions work out of the box using public endpoints without any login or session cookies.
Q: Are downloaded videos and images watermarked?
A: No. 100% of the downloaded media files are clean, original-quality files without the TikTok bouncing watermark.
Q: Does it re-download existing files if I re-run the command?
A: No. The tool checks file size and presence on disk. If a slide or video has already been downloaded, it will automatically skip it for instant speed.
Q: What dependencies are needed?
A: Node.js >= 18. For profile scanning, yt-dlp is recommended (brew install yt-dlp on macOS or pip install yt-dlp).
