[BUG] - AttributeError: parent doesn't exist on TikTokApi.api.Video

[bumothekid]

Bug description

The code says that there's no parent/that this TikTok is not an duet or stitch of an TikTok and that's true. I just want to get the bytes from the video.

The buggy code

    video = TikTokApi.video(url=url) # error here
    videoName = video.as_dict
    videoBytes = video.bytes()

    with open("tiktok/video.mp4", "wb") as output:
        output.write(videoBytes)

Expected behavior

I'm trying to get the Tiktok Video then getting the bytes and writing it to an mp4 file

Laptop:

• OS: MacOS Monterey 12.4
• TikTokApi Version Up to date

It's not bugged, you have to first build the API object. Try:

    api = TikTokApi()
    video = api.video(url=url) # error here
    videoName = video.as_dict
    videoBytes = video.bytes()

    with open("tiktok/video.mp4", "wb") as output:
        output.write(videoBytes)

@keko950 still its not working, I am getting the following error. 'AttributeError: 'TikTokApi' object has no attribute 'video' '
