[FEATURE_REQUEST] - Use browser cookies to overcome "captcha" issue

[smit-celvix]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am getting a lot of "tiktok blocks this request by displaying captcha" errors but it works fine on browser. So, it would be really amazing to have a custom cookie, device id, session id etc that can be exported and then used by Tiktok-API to then run the code since having a tiktok account and using those cookies in a browser works flawleslly.

Thanks.

same problem

remove the verifyFp parameter from url

remove the verifyFp parameter from url

I already did. Also looks like the cookies are changed. So this version does not work anyway.

I am getting a lot of captcha errors too, I found the cause, the SIGI_STATE was modified at least on some version of the page or maybe TikTok is doing an a/b test, maybe next week I will upload a patch because I have to fix this.

@ctaity Hey, any update on that? Having the same problem and not quite sure what to do about it. It recommends using a proxy or a custom_verify_fp argument, but I'm already doing both of those and still no luck. I can hardly get a request through to TikTok because of all these captchas.

@benostarzec I am usuing API method to get user info and I use cookies if you are interested I can post my modifications.

I use the extension cookies.txt to download the cookies from TikTok, first I logged in the user, then I download the cookies.

[ctaity]

I think we need both methods to get the user info full, with API and web scraping, if @davidteather agrees, maybe I could do a pull request next week

@ctaity I'm experimenting the same problem using your solution, could you tell us how can you fix it please? Thx.

[kc-campbell]

how is the patch_create_context and patch_user_info_full given the parameteter self and where is playwright imported and where is playwright.devies in the playwright library documentation? Thank you

[ezgiturali]
