It wraps reverse-engineered TikTok APIs and uses WebSocket connections to receive live data. The library is built on httpx for HTTP requests, websockets for streaming, and protobuf for message serialization, and it supports both blocking (run()) and non-blocking (start()) connection modes.\n\nThe package is actively maintained but explicitly not production-ready; the author recommends the official Euler Stream WebSocket API for production deployments. It is useful for building chat bots, stream overlays, analytics tools, and other real-time integrations with TikTok livestreams, but users must accept the risk that reverse-engineered APIs can break without notice and that TikTok may impose connection limits or other restrictions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a hobby or experimental tool that needs real-time TikTok livestream data and can tolerate API instability. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, and offers a straightforward event-driven API. However, do not use it for production systems\u2014the author explicitly warns it is reverse-engineered and unstable. If you need reliability, use the official Euler Stream WebSocket API instead. Also verify that AGPL licensing aligns with your project's requirements."},"id":"tiktoklive","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tiktoklive","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tiktoklive.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tiktoklive/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"TikTokLive","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"TikTok Live Python Client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":153978,"position":10863,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.6.6"}
