# Step 1: Fetch the playlist infoplaylist_id = "7163373594645482286"
playlist_info = requests.get(
f'https://luckdata.io/api/tiktok-api/pMidAv5SAxiq?url={playlist_id}',
headers=headers
).json()
print(f"Playlist Name: {playlist_info['title']}")
print(f"Video Count: {playlist_info['video_count']}")
# Step 2: Fetch videos in the playlist
video_list = requests.get(
f'https://luckdata.io/api/tiktok-api/UDGXip6pKIwa?count=10&cursor=0&mix_id={playlist_id}',
headers=headers
).json()
video_ids = [item['aweme_id'] for item in video_list.get('aweme_list', [])]
# Step 3: Get video performance details
for vid in video_ids:
video_info = requests.get(
f'https://luckdata.io/api/tiktok-api/4rDReFYWH3hz?hd=1&url=https://www.tiktok.com/video/{vid}',
headers=headers
).json()
print("-------------")
print(f"Title: {video_info.get('desc')}")
print(f"Likes: {video_info.get('statistics', {}).get('digg_count')}")
print(f"Comments: {video_info.get('statistics', {}).get('comment_count')}")
print(f"Plays: {video_info.get('statistics', {}).get('play_count')}")
