Editing TikTok (CDSW)

This is a tutorial in progress! 

This tutorial was inspired by the writeup at [https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-collect-data-from-tiktok-tutorial-ab848b40d191 Towards Data Science] -- but please note that the code on that site is out of date, and docs for TikTokApi are at [https://davidteather.github.io/TikTok-Api/docs/TikTokApi/tiktok.html the github] for TikTokApi. Also please note that the only items you can fetch with the API are what's available without a login.

* Install a python library that will help you put your API calls together: 
  pip3 install TikTokApi
* Install a browser library to help make your queries look like a web browser as TikTok expects:
  playwright install
* Check out the demo file we created
* Set up your own project using the demo as a model.

Answer some basic questions:
* How many followers


If you are venturing further into a project using the tiktok api, you might find it useful to set up a developer account. This is a quick round trip with a pin via your e-mail.
