Downloading TikTok video metadata alongside the file requires a combination of careful planning, the right tools, and an understanding of how TikTok structures its data. TikTok lacks a native feature to export metadata alongside videos, there are multiple trusted approaches to capture core metadata like the title, bio, uploader ID, number of likes, replies, date, and hashtags alongside the video file itself.

The first step is to obtain the video URL. Access TikTok via its app or desktop browser, navigate to the online video tiktok downloader you want to download, and select the share option. From there, select "Copy link" to store the video’s direct link. The copied URL is essential for any external service aiming to download video and associated data.

Subsequently, select a reliable tool for metadata extraction. A variety of web-based platforms and terminal utilities exist, such as TikTok-Downloader, yt-dlp, or custom Python scripts leveraging requests and BeautifulSoup.
