Looks like tiktok doesn’t generate ttwid cookie via HEAD request anymore. https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/blob/a356324ab3171d473619fdf3e1dd71e5996cfc29/TikTokApi/tiktok.py#L481

Replace request.head to request.get at 481 line of tiktok.py https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/blob/a356324ab3171d473619fdf3e1dd71e5996cfc29/TikTokApi/tiktok.py#L481

You can change line 486 in tiktok.py. You will need to replace ttwid = spawn.cookies["ttwid"] for ttwid = YOURCOOKIE where is YOURCOOKIE is your ttwid cookie which you can get by navigating to tiktok.com from your browser (or via GET request). https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/blob/a356324ab3171d473619fdf3e1dd71e5996cfc29/TikTokApi/tiktok.py#L486

Code

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi

api = TikTokApi(custom_verify_fp="***")

for video in api.trending.videos():
    print(video)

Error

I use V5.0.0

Please open this issue. It’s still persistent and none of the suggestions above have solved it for me.

import json
from TikTokApi import TikTokApi

def get_cookies_from_file():
    with open('cookies.json') as f:
        cookies = json.load(f)
    cookies_kv = {}
    for cookie in cookies:
        cookies_kv[cookie['name']] = cookie['value']
    return cookies_kv

def get_cookies(**kwargs):
    return get_cookies_from_file()

api = TikTokApi(custom_verify_fp=get_cookies)
api._get_cookies = get_cookies  # This fixes issues the api was having

for v in api.trending.videos():
    print(v.author.username)

I’ve also hardcoded the ttwid where applicable.

For me upgrading to v5 actually introduced this bug
