Douyin Batch Download

You point it at creator profiles (single or batch), and it pulls videos into organized folders, skipping what you already have by tracking aweme_id. It captures metadata like likes and comments into SQLite, compresses with ffmpeg, and includes a web UI for browsing stats. The workflow is straightforward: add creators to following.json, run batch download, check the generated HTML dashboard. Cookie handling tries browser extraction first, falls back to manual config. Honestly most useful if you're archiving specific creators on a schedule or need the metadata for analysis, less so for one-off downloads.
