for this tutorial I'm on ubuntu 14.04 and installed tiktok-scraper module via npm

**Get your `sessionid` cookie value**

login to tiktok via any browser (e.g.: chrome) and get your sessionid cookie value

Edit the entry.js file

edit the following file /usr/lib/node_modules/tiktok-scraper/build/entry.js by adding seesionid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; to line 36 ttscookie

save it and you are ready to go!! you can use available command !

So that's great! Would it be possible to add the sessionID as an optional command line parameter?

@o7n you probably didn't checked the documentation

Please read it :)

Oops, my apologies! Last time I read the documentation was two months ago...

Hey man, I've been using this tutorial...but in the latest version (1.4.27), the cookie line no longer exists in "entry.js". Should we just add it manually the way it looks in your screenshot? Or has the method changed?

But in the tutorial, the guy is adding "sessionid" content to line 36 (which has that "cookie, tt_webid" content). In the scraper's latest update (1.4.28)...line 36 doesn't exist anymore. Above it just shows "user-agent" & "referer".

When you say "works same way" do you mean I should add that "cookie" line manually?

Has anyone managed to get this to work with the sessionList option?
