Use GitHub Flat to generate RSS feeds for TikTok accounts

TikTok RSS Using GitHub OCTO Flat Data

• Generate usable RSS feeds from TikTok using GitHub OCTO Flat Data, GitHub Actions and GitHub Pages.

• This uses the unoffical TikTokApi Python library to extract information about user videos from TikTok as JSON and generate RSS feeds for each user you are interested in.

• To get your own instance running

  • Fork this repo
  • Enable GitHub Pages for your new repo
  • Change the ghPagesURL in postprocessing.py from "https://conoro.github.io/tiktok-rss-flat/" to your URL
  • Add the TikTok usernames that you like to subscriptions.csv
  • Make sure to enable Actions in the Actions tab

• It's set to run once per hour and generates one RSS XML file per user in the rss output directory.

• You then subscribe to each feed in Feedly or another feed reader using a GitHub Pages URL. Those URLs are constructed like so. E.g.:

  • TikTok User = iamtabithabrown
  • XML File = rss/iamtabithabrown.xml
  • Feedly Subscription URL = https://conoro.github.io/tiktok-rss-flat/rss/iamtabithabrown.xml
  • (Or in my case where I've set a custom domain for the GitHub Pages project called tiktokrss.conoroneill.com, the URL is https://tiktokrss.conoroneill.com/rss/iamtabithabrown.xml)
