description	Download Douyin (抖音) videos from share links. Parse Douyin share text/links, download watermark-free videos, and transcribe audio to text using Volcano Engine ASR (Doubao Speech). Uses Python for iSH compatibility.

Douyin Video Downloader

Parse Douyin share links and download videos without watermarks.

注意：原版使用 Node.js，由于 iSH 环境限制，已转换为 Python 版本。

依赖

• Python 3
• requests 库 (pip3 install requests)

环境变量（转录功能）

• VOLC_APP_KEY - 火山引擎 App Key
• VOLC_ACCESS_KEY - 火山引擎 Access Key

Workflow

1. Parse Share Link

When the user provides a Douyin share text or link, extract video metadata:

python3 scripts/parse_douyin.py "<分享文本或链接>"

Input examples:

• Full share text: 7.43 FuL:/ 你别说，真挺好看的 https://v.douyin.com/iFDbjn2M/ 复制此链接...
• Just the URL: https://v.douyin.com/iFDbjn2M/

Output (JSON):

{
  "video_id": "7445842287652441376",
  "title": "你别说_真挺好看的",
  "download_url": "https://...play.../video/...",
  "raw_url": "https://...playwm.../video/...",
  "share_url": "https://v.douyin.com/iFDbjn2M/",
  "redirected_url": "https://www.iesdouyin.com/share/video/7445842287652441376",
  "iesdouyin_url": "https://www.iesdouyin.com/share/video/7445842287652441376"
}

Key fields:

• download_url - No watermark version (playwm → play)
• title - Sanitized video description (safe for filenames)
• video_id - Unique video identifier

2. Download Video

Use the download_url from step 1:

python3 scripts/download_video.py "<download_url>" "<output_path>"

Example:

python3 scripts/download_video.py "https://aweme.snssdk.com/aweme/v1/play/?video_id=..." "./downloads/你别说_真挺好看的.mp4"

Output:

{
  "status": "success",
  "path": "./downloads/你别说_真挺好看的.mp4"
}

Progress is written to stderr during download.

3. Transcribe Audio

Transcribe audio/video to text using Volcano Engine ASR (Doubao Speech):

python3 scripts/transcribe_audio.py "<audio_or_video_file>" --app-key "$VOLC_APP_KEY" --access-key "$VOLC_ACCESS_KEY"

Parameters:

• --app-key - Volcano Engine App Key (required, or set VOLC_APP_KEY env var)
• --access-key - Volcano Engine Access Key (required, or set VOLC_ACCESS_KEY env var)
• --resource-id - Resource ID: volc.bigasr.auc_turbo (flash) or volc.seedasr.auc (standard)
• --mode - Mode: auto | flash | standard (default: auto)
• --out - Output JSON file path (optional)
• --text-out - Output text file path (optional)

Example:

# Using env vars
export VOLC_APP_KEY="your_app_key"
export VOLC_ACCESS_KEY="your_access_key"
python3 scripts/transcribe_audio.py "./downloads/video.mp4" --mode flash

# Or inline
python3 scripts/transcribe_audio.py "./downloads/video.mp4" \
  --app-key "your_app_key" \
  --access-key "your_access_key" \
  --resource-id "volc.bigasr.auc_turbo" \
  --mode flash \
  --text-out "./downloads/transcript.txt"

Output (JSON):

{
  "status": "success",
  "mode": "flash",
  "result_text": "当你感到命运对你不公时，不妨听听佟国维对隆科多说的话...",
  "result": { ... }
}

Getting API credentials:

1. Visit Volcano Engine Console
2. Create a speech recognition (ASR) application
3. Get App Key and Access Key from application settings

Complete Example

# Step 1: Parse
result=$(python3 scripts/parse_douyin.py "7.43 FuL:/ 你别说，真挺好看的 https://v.douyin.com/iFDbjn2M/")

# Step 2: Extract fields
download_url=$(echo "$result" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['download_url'])")
title=$(echo "$result" | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['title'])")

# Step 3: Download
python3 scripts/download_video.py "$download_url" "./downloads/${title}.mp4"

Notes

• Watermark removal: The script automatically converts playwm URLs to play URLs
• Title sanitization: Removes invalid filename characters (\/:*?"<>|)
• Both video and note: Supports both /video/ and /note/ URLs
• Mobile UA required: Uses iPhone user agent for compatibility
• Timeout: 60 seconds per download
• Progress: Displays progress every 10% on stderr
• Filename length: Use SHORT filenames (English/pinyin) for the saved files. Long Chinese filenames with URL encoding may break the minis:// preview links.

Examples

• ❌ Bad: 高清镜头41岁的_齐溪_状态如何_电影用武之地_电影用武之地北京首映礼.mp4
• ✅ Good: qixi_short.mp4

Error Handling

Common errors:

• 未找到有效的分享链接 - Invalid or missing URL in input
• 访问分享链接失败 - Network error or blocked request
• 从HTML中解析视频信息失败 - Page structure changed (script needs update)
• 下载超时 - Network timeout (try again)

When errors occur, scripts return JSON with { "status": "error", "error": "<message>" } on stderr and exit with code 1.
