First, I apologize if I make/made any mistakes, or sound silly. I have only just started learning python about a week ago and I'm trying to build a web scraping program with the little knowledge I currently have. There may be some useless time.sleep functions and things, but I have changed and tested many things to get my script to work, so please ignore those things, unless there are critical errors in my code, or stuff I can improve.
So I have written this script using selenium with intent to take video links from the app "TikTok," and run them through a TikTok video downloader website to download these videos. I have successfully written a script that can be used with one link at a time. For example, the user inputs a link and the script opens the website, pastes the link, submits, and then downloads the video from the link.
I am wondering how I can turn this script into one where the user may input many many links, (up to 100) and repeat the downloading process until there are no more links. I would also like for my program to display the current link in use on the terminal, and say "Successfully Downloaded" every time a video is downloaded. My current script code is below. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
