TikTok Video Downloader Script for Microsoft Visual Studio Code/ Python

(1/16/2025) Currently 3 days before the ban. I know this is last minute, I'm sorry I literally just got the script to work as intended. Anyways, this Python script will automatically download ALL your liked, favorited, DM'd videos as well as recent history videos with no watermarks and no audio delays. Still testing as we speak so I'll share more info as time passes. Forewarning, you may want to use VLC Media Player on Windows to open a majority of your downloaded TikToks. There is also a codec for the regular media player that you can purchase for $0.99

Requirements - You must have your JSON file that you requested from TikTok in a new folder
