Descriptions are unreliable from my experience (usually filled with silly emojis or sometimes no description at all). You'd have to write a hefty user sanitization function to make anything from the description usable. I simply use the video_id as the filename and it works out great. If you want the Descriptions along with the videos I'd log the descriptions along with the video_id in a json log or something along those lines you can use elsewhere. |

Yeah, I agree saving by video ids is the best solution. Video descriptions should be under the 'desc' key if I'm remembering correctly and if TikTok hasn't changed its structure too much. |
