TIL: Downloading every video for a TikTok account. TikTok may or may not be banned in the USA within the next 24 hours or so. I figured out a gnarly pattern for downloading every video from a specified account, using browser console JavaScript to scrape the video URLs and yt-dlp to fetch each video. As a bonus, I included a recipe for generating a Whisper transcript of every video with mlx-whisper and a hacky way to show a progress bar for the downloads.
