1. First you'll need to visit TikTok’s data request page.

2. Submit a data request, choosing Custom data, "Likes and Favorites" and JSON as your export format.

3. Wait for TikTok to process your request.

4. Once your data is ready, download it from TikTok and extract the folder.

5. Download the FaveSave zip from the releases page and extract it to a local folder ( or if you prefer you can build and run it locally from the source code with the run_app.sh script ). After launching it, select the location of your JSON file ( e.g. user_data_tiktok.json ) , choose your output folder and preferences, then click Start Download to fetch your videos.

Note: Videos that have already been downloaded will be skipped ( in case you wish to re-run the app later and resume operation )
