I'll try to keep a running best practices on this discussion as an answer

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
import string
import random

proxy = "some_proxy_service_like_luminati.io"
custom_did = ''.join(random.choice(string.digits) for num in range(19))
# custom_did should be provided to all calls you intend to download a video from

# Class constructor to use a custom_did persistently, could lead to TikTok detecting that specific did
# I personally recommend re-generating it after you're done parsing a specific response from TikTok
api = TikTokApi.get_instance(use_test_endpoints=True, proxy=proxy, custom_did=custom_did)

# Usage
top_funny = api.byHashtag('funny')
for tiktok in top_funny:
    tiktok_bytes = api.get_Video_By_TikTok(tiktok)

# Class constructor without a class custom_did
api = TikTokApi.get_instance(use_test_endpoints=True, proxy=proxy)

# Usage
top_funny = api.byHashtag('funny', custom_did=custom_did)
for tiktok in top_funny:
    tiktok_bytes = api.get_Video_By_TikTok(tiktok, custom_did=custom_did)
