Douyin Video Search Methodology

Top ranking video search is open to any visitors, although it just requires a user login when you scroll down for more videos. The URL is listed below and you can just add the keyword at the end of the URL.

https://www.douyin.com/search/yourkeyword

Douyin’s search methodology is similar to the Instagram top-ranking post we talked about earlier, which is based on the hashtag. As a user or KOL, they would add more related hashtags if they want their videos that can be searched. So you can find creative video scripts and best-performing videos by means of this method.

Douyin Bot – Horizontal Scroll and Mobile SMS Verification

Douyin login requires identity verification, which is different from the Instagram scraper. In this part, it just can be semi-automatic.

First thing first, we can set up in the script to send the phone number to the login input, and click get the verification code. Just kindly remind you to add a time-sleep as you also need to manually slide the photo, and add the code sent to your phone which might need some time.

After you complete the photo and SMS identity verification, you can click login manually. At this stage, you don’t need to go to the specific keyword result page. As long as you have logged into the Douyin account, you can visit any pages in a logged status in the ChromeDriver.

You might want the full version of Python Script. Also, if you like me to help you handle the verification and scrape top-ranking Douyin video content trends, hashtags, and KOL contacts, please subscribe to our newsletter by adding the message “Douyin Scraper Service + Python Script 23”

The quotation is charged by keywords. Min.10 keywords are priced at US$100. Each keyword has 1000+ pieces of video content and 50+ top-ranking profiles

Douyin Bot – Window Scroll Down & Find All Douyin Posts

Douyin also needs users to scroll down if the users want to explore more video posts. It’s very similar to the Instagram explore mechanism. So here is the line of codings we can add after opening the specific keyword page

driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0,1000000)")

For the search result page of specific keywords, you can create the variables beforehand by means of the Douyin search URL.

pageB = 'https://www.douyin.com/search/keywordA'
pageC = 'https://www.douyin.com/search/keywordB'
pageD = 'https://www.douyin.com/search/keywordC'
pageE = 'https://www.douyin.com/search/keywordD'
pageA = 'https://www.douyin.com/search/keywordE'
pageF = 'https://www.douyin.com/search//keywordF'
pageG = 'https://www.douyin.com/search//keywordG'

Then, you need to create a loop to fetch all result pages and find all video posts’ HTML codings.

Douyin Top Ranking Video Headline, URL, Like Count, and Profile URL

Each video has several datasets which are crawlable. They are the video URL, like count, video headline, profile URL, profile name, video length, and published date.

For investigating the creative content, product trends, and KOL profiles, basically below dataset are sufficient.
