TikPin
Chrome extension — TikTok locations to Google Maps
TikPin automates a workflow I found myself doing constantly: finding a restaurant or café recommended in a TikTok video, then manually searching for it on Google Maps. The extension scrapes the video description, tagged location, hashtags, and top 15 comments, then sends that context to Claude (Sonnet) to identify specific places.
Each extracted place is resolved to real coordinates via Google Places Text Search, giving you the address, rating, and a direct link to open in Maps. An optional OpenAI Whisper integration transcribes spoken audio for creators who only mention locations verbally.
Features include collection-based organization, an interactive map dashboard with Leaflet, place detail enrichment (hours, phone, price level), and CSV/KML export for Google My Maps import. Built as a Chrome extension with a content script, background service worker, and popup UI.
