A note about web scraping
This software scrapes a third-party website (Proxitok) to obtain the data required. In a larger scale, this can be very bad for the website administrators.
See my in-depth note about this here
If you use CLI Tiktok for more than light tasks, consider running your own Proxitok instance.
