[BUG] - Quickstart doesn't work (No trending videos)
Describe the bug
The suggested quickstart code doesn't work / doesn't produce results. No trending videos?
The buggy code
pip install TikTokApi==5.2.2
python -m playwright install
Preferably the smallest amount of code to reproduce the issue.
from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
# Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uCt1x8kINQ for a brief setup tutorial
with TikTokApi() as api:
for trending_video in api.trending.videos(count=50):
# Prints the author's username of the trending video.
print("----------")
print(type(trending_video))
print(trending_video.author.username)
Produces no results. No videos to loop through.
Logging doesn't provide any results either:
from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
import logging
# Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uCt1x8kINQ for a brief setup tutorial
with TikTokApi(logging_level=logging.INFO) as api:
for trending_video in api.trending.videos(count=50):
# Prints the author's username of the trending video.
print("----------")
print(type(trending_video))
print(trending_video.author.username)
Expected behavior
It should work? If the docs say it should.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Mac
- TikTokApi Version [e.g. 5.2.2]
Other Info
The hashtag example DOES work, so maybe its just something related to trending videos specifically.
Same here. We tried the documentent code on Windows and MacOS and it doesnt work.
@davidteather tiktok.com seems to have changed. I'd love to help get this fixed for trending, It seems some proposed solutions are in #906
