About

I created TikTok Video Downloader with the intention of learning a new technology. It was designed to be used as an standalone app, so you are not required to install anything else. As long as you are online and with a TikTok video link you are all set and ready to download. After the video link has been processed, you will be able to download the video as a mp4.

Getting started

Navigate to Firebase Console and create a new project. Create a new app, copy the config and replace the lines 148-155 in nuxt.config.js with your app's config.

In the Firebase Console configure Firebase Hosting, Firebase Functions, and enable Firebase Analytics. In order to use Firebase Functions you'll have to upgrade your project to a paid version. Keep in mind Google has a very generous free plan.

Always set a budget limit for you projects.

Finally, navigate to the project in your console of choice and link your newly created Firebase project.

$ firebase init

Select to use Firebase Functions and Firebase Hosting. Do the same for the emulators. Keep all the defaults export change the public folder to dist. Press n for all overrides.

Install

Website

Run npm install to install the website's dependencies.

Firebase Functions

Navigate to the functions folder and run npm install to install the functions' dependencies.

Local development

Website

Run npm run dev navigate to http://localhost:3000/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Firebase functions

Navigate to functions folder and run npm run serve. This will behind the scenes build the functions and start the Firebase Functions Emulator which will become available on http://localhost:5001/MY_PROJECT/us-central-1, where MY_PROJECT is the name of your Firebase project.

Available functions:

GET http://localhost:5001/MY_PROJECT/us-central-1/app/api/download

  • Downloads a TikTok video.
  • Query parameters:
    • url URL of a TikTok video.

POST http://localhost:5001/MY_PROJECT/us-central1/videoMetadata

  • Retrieves the metadata of a TikTok video.
  • Headers:
    • Content-Type = application/json
  • Body:
{
  "data": {
    "url": "TIKTOK_VIDEO_URL"
  }
}

Build

Website

Run npm run generate to build the website part of the project. The static build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

Firebase Functions

Navigate to functions folder and run npm run build to build the functions.

Deploy

To deploy your application together with Firebase Functions run firebase deploy. To deploy just the functions or the website (hosting) use the --only flag.

Examples:

  • firebase deploy --only functions
