A straightforward browser automation tool for grabbing Douyin videos when you need them locally. Handles both short links and full URLs, extracts metadata like titles and stats, and includes a one-time login setup to authenticate with Douyin's platform. The info-only flag is nice if you just want to peek at video details without downloading. It's Python-based using nodriver_kit for the browser work, so you're not fighting with API restrictions or rate limits. Saves you from manually screen recording or dealing with watermarked downloads through sketchy third-party sites.
