## extract_date.py
1. Use the following command: python3 extract_date.py target_file.json hashtag_name
2. The command above uses the extract_date.py script to extract the dates and the corresponding number of hashtag posts for each date that the TikTok scraper retrieves in the '.json' file.

2. Use the following command to plot: python3 extract_hashtag.py target_file.json n -p
