Getting TikTok Date Information in Node.js
One of the features many TikTok users, including myself, would like to have is the ability to search for or sort videos according to when they were uploaded. This information is not included in the official TikTok API, so I assumed that it was not available. However, I recently read a very helpful post from Digital Forensics that detailed how to get timestamps from TikTok videos. I decided to implement the steps in Node.js and append this information to videos saved in the database.
ReadMaking Many HTTP Requests Using Recursion
One of the most important functions for my TikTok bookmark app is the ability to import an entire list of liked videos. During the process of testing files for liked videos, I realized that longer lists (with thousands of videos) struggled to import all files in one attempt. After examining 150 videos or so, I started receiving error messages about the connect timing out. I fiddled with the asynchronous code I created (and upgraded the for loop I was using to an ES6 for...of loop in the process), but I continued to see the same error messages after a minute or so of processing HTTP get requests.

Longtime users of TikTok will have probably liked hundreds, if not thousands, of videos on the app. It would be incredibly tedious for a user to select each video, click its share icon, copy a link, and then submit data its URL data. Thankfully, TikTok allows users to download all of their data, including their list of Liked videos. The user receives this information as a text file called Like List.txt.

Creating a router and a controller to delete a single video by ID was fairly straightforward. However, this method would give each video its own unique route where a user could then click to delete a video. This sounded pretty tedious, so it was important to me that users could select as many videos as they liked and then click a delete icon to remove videos from their collection of favorites.
