Using Python to follow back all of my TikTok followers | How to reverse engineer a mobile app's API
I made a program using Python to follow back all of my TikTok followers. I reversed engineered the TikTok API to be able to retrieve all of my followers. I used mitmproxy to intercept the traffic and see how the API calls are being made and the Frida Dynamic instrumentation tool kit to trace TikTok's code base and see how specific things like the x-gorgon and x-chronos parameters are being generated. This was a lot faster than dissembling the app's source code, which could have taken a few days. Objection, which is a python program based on Frida also gets an honorable mention even though it didn't work to bypass TikTok's SSL pinning method.
