Question 1

How do I get the recipe from a TikTok video?

Accepted Answer

Open the video in the TikTok app, tap the Share arrow, choose "Copy Link", then paste that link into the box above and click "Extract Recipe".

Question 2

Does this work on private TikTok accounts?

Accepted Answer

No - the video needs to be publicly viewable without logging in. Private accounts are blocked from outside access entirely, by TikTok's own design.

Question 3

Why did extraction fail on my TikTok?

Accepted Answer

TikTok occasionally changes how it structures its pages, which can briefly break automated extraction until it's updated. It can also happen if the video was taken down or made private after you copied the link.

Question 4

Does it work if there's no captions, just talking?

Accepted Answer

Yes - the AI listens to the spoken audio as well as reading any on-screen text, so it works whether the creator talks through it, types it out, or both.
