Set up TikTok cookie and user agent — tk

This function will add a TikTok cookie and a user agent to your .Renviron file so it can be called securely without being stored in your code. After you have installed your key, it can be called any time by typing Sys.getenv("TIKTOK_COOKIE") or Sys.getenv("TIKTOK_UA"). If you do not have an .Renviron file, the function will create one for you.

tk_auth(cookie, ua, id_cookie)

Arguments

cookie	The TikTok cookie as string. Find out here how to get a TikTok cookie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYMV2ugxacs&feature=youtu.be
