Hey everyone! I managed to get a fix (hopefully it works to others). I changed C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\TikTokApi\api\search.py for this.

You change…

spawn = requests.head(
    "https://www.tiktok.com",
    proxies=Search.parent._format_proxy(processed.proxy),
    **Search.parent._requests_extra_kwargs
)
ttwid = spawn.cookies["ttwid"]

to…

spawn = requests.get(
    "https://www.tiktok.com",
    proxies=Search.parent._format_proxy(processed.proxy),
    **Search.parent._requests_extra_kwargs,
    headers={
        'User-Agent': "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.52 Safari/536.5"
    }
)
ttwid = spawn.cookies.get_dict()["ttwid"]

Basically, I changed the request type from HEAD to GET, and added a User-Agent. I compiled all the answers I found from trying to fix this error, so technically this piece of work was a team effort.

Quick notice: Some other python files still have that old code. So just replace that old code with the new one. If it still errors, try to get some common sense and maybe you can fix it.

I think I can solve this problem by logging into tiktok and importing the cookie https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/issues/891#issuecomment-1148930488
