TikTok-Api: [BUG] - Video playAddr/downloadAddr video URL invalid

I am not able to access the video url in playAddr or downloadAdd by using the requests package.

Example playAddr/downloadAddr: url = https://v16-web-newkey.tiktokcdn.com/72bd098ebfeaa71c084919d3a55efd64/5f93f32e/video/tos/useast2a/tos-useast2a-ve-0068c003/6e2d74eb3de944a28013313625663e6f/?a=1988&br=5980&bt=2990&cr=0&cs=0&cv=1&dr=0&ds=3&er=&l=2020102403255301019020801232109270&lr=tiktok_m&mime_type=video_mp4&qs=0&rc=M3lzajV1czVodzMzaDczM0ApaDNkODs0ZTxkNzdlOzhkOmdhYi4tcDVkZTFfLS0xMTZzc2NfX18tYWIxMDFgMS1gXi86Yw%3D%3D&vl=&vr=

When trying to access: video_bytes = requests.get(url, headers={"User-Agent": "okhttp"}).content I get response: b'<HTML><HEAD>\n<TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE>\n</HEAD><BODY>\n<H1>Access Denied</H1>\n \nYou don\'t have permission to access "http://v16-web-newkey.tiktokcdn.com/72bd098ebfeaa71c084919d3a55efd64/5f93f32e/video/tos/useast2a/tos-useast2a-ve-0068c003/6e2d74eb3de944a28013313625663e6f/?" on this server.<P>\nReference #18.bfa83617.1603510554.9d99b4\n</BODY>\n</HTML>\n'

Yeah I’m getting the issue now. Working on a fix

The website itself doesn’t need a _signature parameter do download TikTok video but the api is generating it, why?

And I got it needs the tt_webid_2 cookie.

I basically need to:

Fetch user posts
Download all videos

For that what is the workaround because I don’t want to make extra call for each videeo.

I need use the same cookie to fetch user posts and download videos?

Using either of the two methods, I’m still getting the following error response:

b'<HTML><HEAD>\n<TITLE>Access Denied</TITLE>\n</HEAD><BODY>\n<H1>Access Denied</H1>\n \nYou don\'t have permission to access "http://v16-web-newkey.tiktokcdn.com/72bd098ebfeaa71c084919d3a55efd64/5f93f32e/video/tos/useast2a/tos-useast2a-ve-0068c003/6e2d74eb3de944a28013313625663e6f/?" on this server.<P>\nReference #18.463819b8.1603659279.5ebfadf\n</BODY>\n</HTML>\n'
