# Update Settings

> Configure settings for your TikTok Video Scraper squid

Update the configuration of your **TikTok Video Scraper** squid. Pass crawler-specific settings inside the `params` object.

## Headers

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Your API authentication token. Value: `Token YOUR_API_KEY`
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="Content-Type" type="string" required>
  Must be application/json. Value: `application/json`
</ParamField>

## Body

<ParamField body="params" type="object">
  Crawler-specific settings. See fields below.
</ParamField>

## Settings Fields

<ParamField body="params.max_related_videos_per_post" type="integer">
  Number of related videos to also scrape for each task URL. Leave empty or set to `0` to disable. Example: `5`
</ParamField>

<Tip>
  Set `max_related_videos_per_post` to expand your dataset — for each input URL, the scraper will also collect that many related videos. Results from related videos have `is_related: true` and include a `related_to_video_id` field.
</Tip>

## Code Examples

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.lobstr.io/v1/squids/YOUR_SQUID_HASH" \
    -H "Authorization: Token YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "name": "TikTok Video Scraper",
      "params": {
        "max_related_videos_per_post": 5
      }
    }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
  BASE_URL = "https://api.lobstr.io/v1"
  headers = {"Authorization": f"Token {API_KEY}"}

  squid_hash = "YOUR_SQUID_HASH"

  response = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/squids/{squid_hash}",
      headers=headers,
      json={
          "name": "TikTok Video Scraper",
          "params": {
              "max_related_videos_per_post": 5
          }
      }
  )

  data = response.json()
  print(f"Squid updated: {data['name']}")
  print(f"Related videos per post: {data['params'].get('max_related_videos_per_post')}")
