Q-Bukold/TikTok-Content-Scraper — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Python tool for researchers that can scrape TikTok content without needing an official API key. I want to give it TikTok video or slide IDs and usernames, either from a small script or from text files in the command line, and have it save the metadata and optionally download the actual files.

It should handle videos as mp4, slides as jpeg images with audio when available, and save user and content metadata as organized JSON files. Please include a simple progress tracker using SQLite so if I stop and restart it, it knows what is still pending, completed, or failed. It should also show useful terminal progress, errors, timing, and an ETA.

Keep it lightweight and easy to run with a requirements file, an example script, and clear README instructions. Add sensible wait time settings so users can slow it down if they get blocked, and make the output folders automatically. Include a citation notice and a responsible use disclaimer for research use.
