Douyin_TikTok_Download_API v5 rewrite: self-healing identity pool, full archiving, and MCP integration

Decision Brief

What changedThe Douyin and TikTok data collection and watermark-free download API releases a v5 rewrite, switching to a self-maintained identity pool and async task queue, and adding MCP, CLI, and a React console.
Why it mattersv5 replaces the synchronous cookie-based interface with async 202 + task ID calls and unifies REST, MCP, and CLI under one service layer, so projects on v4 must rework their call flow and add API key auth.

v5 is rewritten from an empty branch and inherits no v4 code. Identity sourcing shifts from manually filled browser cookies in config.yaml to headless-browser auto-generated guest identities, replenished when availability runs low; the request egress adds health grading, per-identity in-flight locks, per-identity-and-endpoint token buckets, and per-endpoint circuit breakers; async returns 202 with a task_id by default, or ?wait= for synchronous. Parsed results are written to PostgreSQL and Redis and persist even after upstream deletes; auth becomes scoped, role-based API keys. Beyond REST, entry points add MCP (streamable-http) and CLI, and the console moves to React. Deployment is just docker compose up.
