TikTok Downloader
Paste a TikTok video URL and get a downloadable MP4 link. This page is a frontend for a simple backend — see the included server example in the README below.
How it works: the frontend sends the TikTok URL to your server (/api/fetch). The server fetches the video (using a downloader like yt-dlp or a scraping method), returns a direct video URL or streams the file back. Host the backend yourself.
Important: only download content you have rights to or permission to download. Respect TikTok's Terms of Service and copyright law.
Developer README & server example
README - Quickstart
FRONTEND: This page (single HTML). To use on Blogger you can paste this into a "HTML/JavaScript" gadget or host as a static page and iframe it into Blogger.
BACKEND (example): Node.js + yt-dlp (recommended). The server exposes POST /api/fetch with JSON { url: "..." } and returns JSON { video_url: "https://..." } or streams file.
Example server.js (Node + express + child_process calling yt-dlp):
const express = require('express');
const { execFile } = require('child_process');
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
app.post('/api/fetch', async (req, res) => {
try{
const { url } = req.body || {};
if(!url) return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Missing url' });
// yt-dlp query to get the direct video URL (no download) in JSON
const args = ['-j', url];
execFile('yt-dlp', args, { maxBuffer: 1024 * 1024 * 10 }, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
if(err) return res.status(500).json({ error: err.message || stderr });
try{
const info = JSON.parse(stdout);
// find best video-only or progressive format
const formats = info.formats || [];
// sort by height then by filesize
formats.sort((a,b)=> (b.height||0) - (a.height||0));
const best = formats.find(f=> f.ext==='mp4' && f.url) || formats[0];
if(!best) return res.status(500).json({ error: 'No playable format found' });
// Return direct video URL (note: some URLs expire quickly)
res.json({ video_url: best.url, title: info.title || null });
}catch(parseErr){ return res.status(500).json({ error: 'Failed to parse yt-dlp output' }); }
});
}catch(e){res.status(500).json({ error: e.message })}
});
app.listen(3000, ()=> console.log('listening on 3000'));
Notes:
- Install yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) on your server and make sure it's in PATH.
- Direct URLs returned by yt-dlp may be short-lived. You can stream via your server (pipe yt-dlp output to response) to avoid link expiry.
- Alternative: use server-side downloading and store files on S3, then return stable URLs.
- Respect platform rules & copyright.
