I think there is still an issue with getting more than 68 videos

[filipdraganic]

I think the issue is still present because when I invoke trending(100) let's say, the len() function of the data it returns never exceeds more than 65-68 videos. Also in line 32, in the if statement the two urls are the same, but one has a space so the signature was never returned. I got it working by setting one of the two links to m.tiktok.com/.... .

Maybe I didn't use the function properly or something?

[davidteather]

Yeah, I see the extra space on line 32.
In theory, it shouldn't matter and I was getting valid signatures last time I tried it out.
I'll take a look at it either today or tomorrow though.

[davidteather]

Could you provide your example code that you are running?

[filipdraganic]

tiktok.zip

This is your code, just with the space removed and www.tiktok.com substituted with m.tiktok.com

[davidteather]

Can you also provide an example of the code where you called the API from?

[filipdraganic]

tiktok = TikTokapi()

data = tiktok.trending(200)

print(len(data))

[davidteather]

So I looked at it and at least for me the signature thing was working.
The weird thing is that I am able to get 141 results when I select to do 200.
The limit may be the website trending page I'll use wireshark tomorrow and see where the apps database calls are going to.

Okay, im very interested to see what is the issue

[davidteather]

So you doing the change that first link with a space to m.tiktok.com just solved the signature issue not the limit thing right?

Making unofficial APIs really sucks sometimes. I didn’t have much time today to debug to figure out what was causing the issue or anything. The only thing I can think of is that the trending tiktok website limits to presumably 141 videos.

Tomorrow I should have more free time to figure out what’s wrong with it.

So you doing the change that first link with a space to m.tiktok.com just solved the signature issue not the limit thing right?

Yes, now the code always gets the signature, and before it was a 1 in 10 chance. Maybe its just a issue with my region or something and not necessarily a problem with the code.

Tomorrow I should have more free time to figure out what’s wrong with it.

I totally get that, im just interested in this and im glad someone else is. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey, David,
Did you find anything that would help solve the problem?

[davidteather]

I haven’t been able to yet. Sorry.

[davidteather]

It seems like I've been able to resolve the issue. I'm not sure why or how, but it looks like it's able to retrieve more than 200 for me at least. I should have a new PyPi update for V2.1.8 in at most 2 hours.

Thanks for using api!

Hi David,

I'm using the userPosts method to get videos by a given creator, but it seems to only be returning 100 videos? Do you know if there is a way to get around that limit?
