it's mentioned in the docs

but in short:

  1. configure your phone to use request proxying tool, you can find guides on google (i used reqable, but mitmproxy is also cool)
  2. install tiktok and bypass ssl pinning (i used this)
  3. start your request proxying tool and open tiktok on phone
  4. find needed params in requests

(translated using deepl, sorry for any mistakes)
