TikTok-Live-Connector

A Node.js library to receive live stream events such as comments and gifts in realtime from TikTok LIVE by connecting to TikTok's internal Webcast push service. This package includes a wrapper that connects to the Webcast service using just the username (@uniqueId). This allows you to connect to your own live chat as well as the live chat of other streamers. No credentials are required. Besides Chat Comments, other events such as Members Joining, Gifts, Subscriptions, Viewers, Follows, Shares, Questions, Likes and Battles can be tracked.

Note

This is not an official API. It is a reverse engineering project. You are responsible for your usage of this library.

Tip

An example project is available at https://tiktok-chat-reader.zerody.one/ - View Source

Warning

This JavaScript library is intended for use in Node.js environments. If you want to process or display the data in the browser (client-side), you need to transfer the data from the Node.js environment to the browser. A good approach for this is to use Socket.IO or a different low-latency communication framework. A complete example project can be found here: TikTok-Chat-Reader

Warning

Due to a change on the part of TikTok, versions prior v1.1.7 are no longer functional. If you are using one of these versions, upgrade to the latest version using the npm i tiktok-live-connector command.

Getting Started

Install the package via NPM

npm i tiktok-live-connector

Create your first TikTok LIVE chat connection

// Username of someone who is currently live
import { TikTokLiveConnection, WebcastEvent } from 'tiktok-live-connector';

const tiktokUsername = 'officialgeilegisela';

// Create a new wrapper object and pass the username
const connection = new TikTokLiveConnection(tiktokUsername);

// Connect to the chat (await can be used as well)
connection.connect().then(state => {
    console.info(`Connected to roomId ${state.roomId}`);
}).catch(err => {
    console.error('Failed to connect', err);
});

// Define the events that you want to handle
// In this case we listen to chat messages (comments)
connection.on(WebcastEvent.CHAT, data => {
    console.log(`${data.user.uniqueId} (userId:${data.user.uniqueId}) writes: ${data.comment}`);
});

// And here we receive gifts sent to the streamer
connection.on(WebcastEvent.GIFT, data => {
    console.log(`${data.user.uniqueId} (userId:${data.user.userId}) sends ${data.giftId}`);
});

// ...and more events described in the documentation below

Params and Options

To create a new TikTokLiveConnection object the following parameters can be specified.

TikTokLiveConnection(uniqueId, [options])

Param Name	Required	Description
uniqueId	Yes	The unique username of the broadcaster. You can find this name in the URL. Example: `https://www.tiktok.com/@officialgeilegisela/live` => `officialgeilegisela`
options	No	Here you can set the following optional connection properties. If you do not specify a value, the default value will be used. `processInitialData` (default: `true`) Define if you want to process the initital data which includes old messages of the last seconds. `fetchRoomInfoOnConnect` (default: `true`) Define if you want to fetch all room information on `connect()`. If this option is enabled, the connection to offline rooms will be prevented. If enabled, the connect result contains the room info via the `roomInfo` attribute. You can also manually retrieve the room info (even in an unconnected state) using the `getRoomInfo()` function. `enableExtendedGiftInfo` (default: `false`) Define if you want to receive extended information about gifts like gift name, cost and images. This information will be provided at the gift event. `requestPollingIntervalMs` (default: `1000`) Request polling interval if WebSocket is not used. `sessionId` (default: `null`) Here you can specify the current Session ID of your TikTok account (sessionid cookie value) if you want to send automated chat messages via the `sendMessage()` function. See Example `webClientParams` (default: `{}`) Custom client params for Webcast API. `webClientHeaders` (default: `{}`) Custom request headers passed to axios. `websocketHeaders` (default: `{}`) Custom websocket headers passed to websocket.client. `webClientOptions` (default: `{}`) Custom request options passed to axios. Here you can specify an `httpsAgent` to use a proxy and a `timeout` value. See Example. `wsClientParams` (default: `${}`) WebSocket parameters to be appended to the connection url. `wsClientHeaders` (default: {}) Custom WebSocket headers to be sent when connecting. `wsClientOptions` (default: `{}`) Custom websocket options passed to websocket.client. Here you can specify an `agent` to use a proxy and a `timeout` value. See Example. `authenticateWs` (default: `false`) By default, WebSocket connections are not authenticated, even when passing a sessionid, for security. This is because 'signing' (generating the URL) for connecting is done by a 3rd-party freeware service. It must be manually enabled, and you assume the risks associated with sending over a session id when you enable it. `preferredAgentIds` (default: `[]`) WebSocket URL generation is done by a 3rd-party service. This option allows you to specify a specific 'agent' on the 3rd-party service to handle the URL generation. `connectWithUniqueId` (default: `false`) This option allows the 3rd-party service to determine the Room ID for you, rather than retrieving it through scraping. This may be preferable on low-quality IPs, as it bypasses captchas. `logFetchFallbackErrors` (default: false) This option logs exceptions to the console when fallbacks are required to resolve a Room Id from a uniqueId. `signedWebSocketProvider` (default: `(props: FetchSignedWebSocketParams) => Promise<WebcastResponse>`) The function responsible for signing (generating a valid WebSocket URL) can be swapped out for your own backend, if you do not want to use the free 3rd-party service bundled into the client that generates them.

Example Options

const tikTokLiveConnection = new TikTokLiveConnection(tiktokUsername, {
    processInitialData: false,
    enableExtendedGiftInfo: true,
    requestPollingIntervalMs: 2000,
    webClientParams: {
        "app_language": "en-US",
        "device_platform": "web"
    },
    webClientHeaders: {
        "headerName": "headerValue"
    },
    wsClientHeaders: {
        "headerName": "headerValue"
    },
    wsClientParams: {
        "app_language": "en-US",
    },
    webClientOptions: {
        timeout: 10000
    },
    wsClientOptions: {
        timeout: 10000
    }
});

Methods

Method Name	Description
connect(`[roomId]`)	Connects to the live stream chat. Returns a `Promise` which will be resolved when the connection is successfully established. Optionally, you can provide a Room Id to bypass Room Id scraping.
disconnect()	Disconnects from the stream if connected.
sendMessage(`<content>`)	Sends a chat message into the current live room using the provided session cookie (specified in the constructor options or via the second function parameter). Returns a `Promise` that will be resolved when the chat message has been submitted to the API. WARNING: Use of this function is at your own risk. Spamming messages can lead to the suspension of your TikTok account. Be careful! Example
fetchRoomId(`[uniqueId]`)	Fetch the Room Id associated with the currently configured `uniqueId`. Optionally, provide a `uniqueId` for a different user to check. Returns a `Promise` which is resolved when the Room Id is fetched.
fetchIsLive()	Fetch whether the user is currently streaming. Returns a `Promise` which resolves when the state is fetched.
waitUntilLive()	Returns a blocking promise that resolves when the user goes live.
fetchRoomInfo()	Gets the current room info from TikTok API including streamer info, room status and statistics. Returns a `Promise` which will be resolved when the API request is done. Note: You can call this function even if you're not connected. Example
fetchAvailableGifts()	Gets a list of all available gifts including gift name, image url, diamont cost and a lot of other information. Returns a `Promise` that will be resolved when all available gifts has been retrieved from the API. Note: You can call this function even if you're not connected. Example

Properties

Property Name	Description
webClient: `TikTokWebClient`	An API wrapper for TikTok with routes for scraping the TikTok site & internal APIs. This is used to fetch the initial data and room info.
wsClient: `TikTokWsClient \| null`	The WebSocket client object. This manages the lifecycle of the WebSocket connection to TikTok, and is where all events originate from.
options: `TikTokLiveConnectionOptions`	Options described in Params and Options
roomInfo: `RoomInfoResponse`	The room info object. This contains all information about the current room.
availableGifts: `RoomGiftInfo`	The list of available gifts. This is only filled if `enableExtendedGiftInfo` is set to `true`.
isConnecting: `boolean`	Indicates whether the connection is currently being established.
isConnected: `boolean`	Indicates whether the connection is currently established.
webClientParams: `Record<string, string>`	Base URI parameters that are sent with every request of `TikTokWebClient`.
roomId: `string`	The current room id. This is only available after a successful connection.
state: `TikTokLiveConnectionState`	The current state of the connection. Includes info such as connection status, Room Id, room info, etc.

Signing Configuration

It is possible to configure the 3rd-party library used to generate WebSocket URLs, a process referred to as 'signing'. An example is provided below:

// SignConfig is an instance of Partial<ClientConfiguration>
import { SignConfig } from 'tiktok-live-connector';

SignConfig.apiKey = "your api key" // An API key created at https://www.eulerstream.com
SignConfig.basePath = "https://your-custom-sign-server.com" // Optionally, you can even define your own server
SignConfig.baseOptions.headers['X-Custom-Header'] = 'Custom-Header-Value'

Accessing TikTok LIVE Routes

The TikTokWebClient object is used to access TikTok's internal API routes. This object is available via the webClient property of the TikTokLiveConnection object.

The following routes come bundled with the web client:

connection.webClient.fetchRoomInfo
connection.webClient.sendRoomChat
connection.webClient.fetchRoomInfoFromApiLive
connection.webClient.fetchRoomInfoFromHtml
connection.webClient.fetchSignedWebSocketFromEuler
connection.webClient.fetchRoomIdFromEuler
connection.webClient.fetchRoomInfoFromEuler

Example Usage:

All routes are callable classes that accepts a singular object with the required parameters, and return a promise that resolves with the route data. For instance, here is how you can fetch Room Info from the page HTML:

const connection = new TikTokLiveConnection('officialgeilegisela');

connection.webClient.fetchRoomInfoFromHtml({ uniqueId: uniqueId })
    .then((response: FetchRoomInfoFromHtmlRouteResponse) => {
        console.log('Room Info:', response.data);
    });

Accessing 3rd-Party Routes

The TikTokWebClient comes bundled with an instance of EulerSigner, a 3rd-party library that provides the WebSocket connection URL used to connect to TikTok LIVE.

This is publicly accessible via connection.webClient.webSigner and exposes additional 3rd-party routes related to TikTok LIVE.

Example 1: Fetching Rate Limits

For example, here's how you can fetch the rate limits for your current API key:

import { SignConfig } from 'tiktok-live-connector';
import { IGetRateLimits } from '@eulerstream/euler-api-sdk';

// Configure an API Key
SignConfig.apiKey = 'your api key'; // An API key created at https://www.eulerstream.com

// Create a connection
const connection = new TikTokLiveConnection();

// Fetch the limits
connection.webClient.webSigner.webcast.getRateLimits()
    .then((response: AxiosResponse<IGetRateLimits>) => {
        console.log('Rate Limits:', response.data);
    });

Example 2: Using JWT Authentication

If you intend to run the TikTok-Live-Connector in a client environment (e.g. a bundled desktop app), you won't want to give the user your API key. Instead, you can create a JWT for the user to connect to the API.

Server-Side:

First, generate the JWT and return it to your user:

import { SignConfig, TikTokWebClient } from './src';

SignConfig.apiKey = 'your_api_key_here';
const connection = new TikTokWebClient();

connection.webSigner.authentication.createJWT(
    122, // Your account ID
    {
        limits: {
            minute: 5,
            day: 5,
            hour: 5
        },
        expireAfter: 60 * 60 * 2 // 2 hours is the max accepted value
    }
).then((res) => {
    console.log('Generated JWT:', res.data.token);
});

Client-Side:

Then, use the JWT to connect to the API in the client-side NodeJS application:

import { SignConfig } from './config';
import { TikTokLiveConnection } from './client';

SignConfig.baseOptions.headers['x-jwt-key'] = 'generated-jwt-key';
const connection = new TikTokLiveConnection('tv_asahi_news');

Events

A TikTokLiveConnection object has the following events which can be handled with an event listener.

The simplest event handler is a connect event:

const connection = new TikTokLiveConnection('officialgeilegisela');
connection.on(ControlEvent.CONNECTED, () => console.log("Connected!"));

Control Events:

ControleEvent.CONNECTED or "connected"
ControleEvent.DISCONNECTED or "disconnected"

`disconnected`

Triggered when the connection gets disconnected. In that case you can call connect() again to have a reconnect logic. Note that you should wait a little bit before attempting a reconnect to to avoid being rate-limited.

connection.on(ControlEvent.DISCONNECTED, () => console.log('Disconnected :('));

`streamEnd`

Triggered when the live stream gets terminated by the host. Will also trigger the disconnected event.

connection.on(ControlEvent.STREAM_END, ({ action }: { action: ControlAction }) => {
    if (action === ControlAction.CONTROL_ACTION_STREAM_ENDED) {
        console.log('Stream ended by user');
    }
    if (action === ControlAction.CONTROL_ACTION_STREAM_SUSPENDED) {
        console.log('Stream ended by platform moderator (ban)');
    }
});

`rawData`

Triggered every time a protobuf encoded webcast message arrives. You can deserialize the binary object depending on the use case with protobufjs.

connection.on(ControlEvent.RAW_DATA, (messageTypeName, binary) => {
    console.log(messageTypeName, binary);
});

`decodedData`

Triggered every time a decoded message arrives. This is the same as the rawData event but the binary object is already decoded. You can use this event to handle the protobuf messages without the need of deserializing them yourself.

connection.on(ControlEvent.DECODED_DATA, (event: string, decodedData: any, binary: Uint8Array) => {
    console.log(event, decodedData);
});

`websocketConnected`

Will be triggered as soon as a WebSocket connection is established. The WebSocket client object is passed.

connection.on(ControlEvent.WEBSOCKET_CONNECTED, (client: TikTokWsClient) => {
    console.log('WebSocket Client:', websocketClient.connection);
});

`error`

General error event. You should handle this.

connection.on(ControlEvent.ERROR, err => {
    console.error('Error!', err);
});

Message Events

`member`

Triggered every time a new viewer joins the live stream.

connection.on(WebcastEvent.MEMBER, (data: WebcastMemberMessage) => {
    console.log(`${data.uniqueId} joins the stream!`);
});

`gift`

Triggered every time a gift arrives. You will receive additional information via the extendedGiftInfo attribute when you enable the enableExtendedGiftInfo option.

NOTE: Users have the capability to send gifts in a streak. This increases the repeatCount value until the user terminates the streak. During this time new gift events are triggered again and again with an increased repeatCount value. It should be noted that after the end of the streak, another gift event is triggered, which signals the end of the streak via repeatEnd:true. This applies only to gifts with giftType:1. This means that even if the user sends a giftType:1 gift only once, you will receive the event twice. Once with repeatEnd:false and once with repeatEnd:true. Therefore, the event should be handled as follows:

connection.on(WebcastEvent.GIFT, (event: WebcastGiftMessage) => {
    if (data.giftType === 1 && !data.repeatEnd) {
        // Streak in progress => show only temporary
        console.log(`${data.uniqueId} is sending gift ${data.giftName} x${data.repeatCount}`);
    } else {
        // Streak ended or non-streakable gift => process the gift with final repeat_count
        console.log(`${data.uniqueId} has sent gift ${data.giftName} x${data.repeatCount}`);
    }
});

Examples

Retrieve Room Info

const connection = new TikTokLiveConnection('@username');

connection.fetchRoomInfo().then((roomInfo: RoomInfoResponse) => {
    console.log(roomInfo);
    console.log(`Stream started timestamp: ${roomInfo.create_time}, Streamer bio: ${roomInfo.owner.bio_description}`);
    console.log(`HLS URL: ${roomInfo.stream_url.hls_pull_url}`); // Can be played or recorded with e.g. VLC
}).catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
});

Retrieve Available Gifts

const connection = new TikTokLiveConnection('@username');

connection.fetchAvailableGifts().then((giftList: RoomGiftInfo) => {
    console.log(giftList);
    giftList.forEach(gift => {
        console.log(`id: ${gift.id}, name: ${gift.name}, cost: ${gift.diamond_count}`)
    });
}).catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
})

Send Chat Messages

Note

Due to the increased signature requirements by TikTok, sending chat messages is currently not possible.

Warning

Use of this function is at your own risk. Spamming messages can lead to the suspension of your TikTok account. Be careful!

You can send chat messages via the sendMessage() function to automatically respond to chat commands for example. For this you need to provide your Session ID.

To get the Session ID from your account, open TikTok in your web browser and make sure you are logged in, then press F12 to open the developer tools. Switch to the Application tab and select Cookies on the left side. Then take the value of the cookie with the name sessionid.

let connection = new TikTokLiveConnection('@username', {
    sessionId: 'f7fbba3a57e48dd1ecd0b7b72cb27e6f', // Replace this with the Session ID of your TikTok account
    authenticateWs: true // Supply this IF you want to connect to the websocket with your account. This is risky.
});

connection.connect().catch(err => console.log(err));

connection.on(WebcastEvent.CHAT, (data: WebcastChatMessage) => {
    if (data.comment.toLowerCase() === '!dice') {
        let diceResult = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6);
        connection.sendMessage(`@${data.uniqueId} you rolled a ${diceResult}`).catch(err => console.error(err));
    }
})

Proxied Connection

It is possible to proxy connections. The library proxy-agent supports http, https, socks4 and socks5 proxies:

npm i proxy-agent

You can specify if you want to use a proxy for https requests, websockets or both:

import { TikTokLiveConnection } from 'tiktok-live-connector';
import ProxyAgent from 'proxy-agent';

let connection = new TikTokLiveConnection('@username', {
    webClientOptions: {
        httpsAgent: new ProxyAgent('https://username:password@host:port'),
        timeout: 10000 // 10 seconds
    },
    wsClientOptions: {
        agent: new ProxyAgent('https://username:password@host:port'),
        timeout: 10000 // 10 seconds
    }
});

// Connect as per usual
