This is a basic python script that helps automate the downloading, segmentation, and cross-posting of YouTube videos to TikTok accounts.
git clone https://github.com/JohnKearney1/TikTokFarm
cd TikTokFarm
pip install -r requirements.txt
Ensure you have installed Google Chrome on your computer. The script will spawn a headless browser to upload videos.
The uploader requires your credentials to function, but uses a saved browser cookie in place of plaintext username and password. Here's how to get your cookie:
- Install the Get cookies.txt extension.
- Go to TikTok.com and login to the account the bot will use.
- Use the extension to Export As
cookies.txtto the root folder of this project (TikTokFarm/cookies.txt)
There are two python files you will use in tandem. The first file main.py, downloads and locates the files appropriately. Essentially, an ingestion script.
uploader.py runs 24/7 in the background and posts a video from the clipped videos queue every 30 minutes.
The intended manner of usage is to run the uploader script, then use the main script to continually feed new clips to the uploader.
Syntax:
python main.py <"YouTube Video URL"> <Clip Duration (seconds)>
Example: The following command will download the video and segment it into multiple 30 second clips.
python main.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" 30
The second script uploader.py, runs continuously, and posts the ingested videos to a TikTok account on a given schedule, set to every 30 minutes by default.
python uploader.py
The tags.txt file contains a list of tags that are pulled from when randomly selecting tags for a video. To add your own tags, just add them to the tags.txt file on a new line. Some example tags are provided for you.
