The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Here is my code as well

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi



@client.command()
async def trending(ctx):
    verify_fp = "verify_xxx"
    api = TikTokApi(custom_verify_fp=verify_fp)


    # Bytes of the TikTok video


    def check(message):
        return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel


    for video in api.trending.videos():
      await ctx.send(video.id)

I'm having the same problem. Have you find out the way to fix it?

[RiccardoTOTI]

I resolve with using sudo playwright install-deps, if u are on Colab u have to restart the runtime
