1 year ago Missing posts: https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/wiki#missing-posts Before publishing a new release, I update the guide. So when you see a new release, the new features (if they exist) have already been added to the wiki!
TikTok doesn't have proper API documentation. I even still can't download all user videos. I don't know about "friends only". But I can say just one thing: until I understand how to get the correct json response and how the cursor parameter works, there is nothing I can do. Sorry.
I know the Tiktok feature is new and still being worked on so maybe this is already in progress but I noticed that when I tried it today for the first time it isn't downloading posts that I can see that are set as "friends only" (which tiktok defines as you and the user who posted both follow each other). I know that some tiktokers also post "followers only" videos though I've not yet found an example of that to test.
One thing to note, the log did mention
Some posts didn't download. You can see them in the 'Missing posts' form.but I've not been able to find a "missing posts" form. Possibly that form mentions these posts? I unfortunately tested the tiktok download at the same time as some other downloads were running so I can't be sure the two things are related.
