It doesn't seem to work anymore, at least not on my system

[korewatori]

I had used this once before and it worked flawlessly but then tried later on a few days later and it didn't work, instead giving me this. Ignore the user I tried it on, just did that for shits and giggles.

for what it's worth I'm trying to run the script on Python 3.10.4 which is not currently in my PATH, so I ran it using C:\Python\Python310\python.exe C:\Users\Tori\Downloads\tiktok-bulk-downloader-main\tiktok_dl.py in cmd

Good evening korewatori,

I'm sorry for being late on the response. The above exception was raised after extracting the user's secret id directly from one of TikTok APIs. So, the problem here is just a failed request to that API. I thought the user is private or you misspelled it. Unfortunately, the user's account is public and you typed it without mistakes. The remaining causes are the API endpoint and the request parameters. Maybe they changed their API endpoint or blocked our token parameter.

Anyway, I'll fix that and updates you when it's ready.

@0aub Did you fix it already? apparently tiktok changed lots with their api?

Yt-dlp has big issue with user feeds as well, maybe you can help with your knowledge: yt-dlp/yt-dlp#3776
