    ### The following functions can only be executed with a selenium driver

    #First use the function start_selenium. This will open a chrome browser.
    #Then wait until the TikTok page is loaded and login (see comment in the start_selenium function)
    #This will only work when Chrome is installed on your computer
    #Alternatively you can also create your own selenium browser
    driver = tts.start_selenium() 

    #Now you can start: Collect 100 Video Links for a given Keyword
    video_links = tts.get_videos_by_keyword('Funny Cats', driver, 30)

    #Collect 100 Video Links for a given User
    video_links = tts.get_videos_by_user('zachking', driver, 30)
    #Show information to the first two video 
    video_ids = [v.split('/')[-1] for v in video_links]
    video_details = tts.get_video_details(video_ids[0:2])
    for video in video_details:
        video=json.loads(video)
        print('Video Description:', video['itemStruct']['desc'])
        print('Profile Name:', video['itemStruct']['author']['uniqueId'])
        print('---')

    #Collect 30 followers of a user
    follower_links = tts.get_followers_of_user('zachking', driver, 30)  
    #Collect 30 followings of a user
    following_links = tts.get_followings_of_user('zachking', driver, 30)
