tiktok-discovery-api-history
This repo scrapes TikToks Web API automatically using GitHub Actions and monitors changes to its discovery endpoint on 3 different subdomains.
All pages are downloaded as JSON and prettyfied with jq. A commit is made whenever a change is detected and all changes can be viewed throughout the commit history.
Inspiration:
- Git scraping: track changes over time by scraping to a Git repository by Simon Willison
- California fire data history
Improvements:
- ignore covers or just remove signature from their urls. Its not constant
