[BUG] - TikTok blocks this request displaying a Captcha even with custom_verifyFp

[jasonrichdarmawan]

Describe the bug

custom_verifyFp worked last week. Today, it got blocked even with custom_verifyFp parameter. I am suspecting the cookie had expired. So, I tried to get new s_v_web_id, I usee the login with phone number method to open the Captcha box.

The buggy code

api = TikTokApi(custom_verify_fp=sys.argv[1])

user = api.user(sys.argv[2])

python tiktok.py cookie_here username_here

Expected behavior

It should return dict.

Error Trace (if any)

ERROR:root:Tiktok wants to display a catcha. Response is:
{"code":"10000", **removed as it contains the fp cookie**}
ERROR:root:{**removed as it contains csrf token**}

TikTokApi.exceptions.TikTokCaptchaError: TikTok blocks this request displaying a Captcha
Tip: Consider using a proxy or a custom_verifyFp as method parameters

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context

I tested it on v4.1.0 and v5.0.0, identical behavior occurs.

TikTok changed their API and the user.videos() call doesnt work anymore. you can read more here: https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/issues/838

Here I made a solution that work for me. https://github.com/nazar-mykolyshyn/TikTok-Api/releases/tag/5.1.0

[kareemrasheed89]

I use the solution from @roman-dmytriv .

Is still doesnt work

[RobLOlson]

I tried @roman-dmytriv 's fork as well and it still threw a captcha

[henriquekr]

hey @roman-dmytriv, thanks for working on this. The 'msToken' solution you provided was working up until last week but when i tried running the same code today the old annoying "TikTok Displays Captcha" error came back. Any thoughts on what we could do next?

[tech-alpiner]

Hey @RobLOlson. Had the same issue. I will try to look at it, just need to find some time( If something is found, will let you know here as well.

Same issue, i can't get api.user(). Error is: "TikTok blocks this request displaying a Captcha". I used proxy and changed custom_verify_fp but not solved.

[davidteather]

Try v6 will require msToken
