Saving places
How do you turn a TikTok into an itinerary?
Capture the venue names first, since TikTok rarely exposes them to anything but a signed-in user. Screenshot the frames where names appear on screen, extract them into a list with addresses, then group the places by neighborhood to see how many days the video's recommendations really fill.
Most travel TikToks put the venue names on screen rather than in the caption, which means the text you need is in the video frames. Screenshotting those frames and reading them with OCR is the reliable extraction path, and it takes a few seconds per video.
One video usually isn't a trip. A "five best taquerías" video is one afternoon, so the useful move is importing several videos for the same city into one map, where duplicates collapse and the places several creators agree on become visible. A place three separate creators named is a better bet than one that appeared once.
Once the places are mapped, grouping by neighborhood tells you the real shape. Five restaurants spread across Mexico City is three days of eating; five in Roma Norte is one very good day.
