  TikTok is one of the largest and fastest-growing social media sites in the
world. TikTok features, however, such as voice transcripts, are often missing
and other important features, such as OCR or video descriptions, do not exist.
We introduce the Generative AI Enriched TikTok (GET-Tok) data, a pipeline for
collecting TikTok videos and enriched data by augmenting the TikTok Research
API with generative AI models. As a case study, we collect videos about the
attempted coup in Peru initiated by its former President, Pedro Castillo, and
its accompanying protests. The data includes information on 43,697 videos
published from November 20, 2022 to March 1, 2023 (102 days). Generative AI
augments the collected data via transcripts of TikTok videos, text descriptions
of what is shown in the videos, what text is displayed within the video, and
the stances expressed in the video. Overall, this pipeline will contribute to a
better understanding of online discussion in a multimodal setting with
applications of Generative AI, especially outlining the utility of this
pipeline in non-English-language social media. Our code used to produce the
pipeline is in a public Github repository:
