＠CuriousYoda Hi, earlier problem is solved! but have new error

i think this error means that selenium is not launching correctly?

tik-tok-scraper.py", line 149, in <module>userPosts = api.byUsername(username, count=videosToDownload)
AttributeError: 'TikTokApi' object has no attribute 'byUsername'

@Mayaman5566 It could be the case that test end points are not accessible in your setup. I made it optional to use_test_endpoints.

Please do a git pull and try again

The problem still exists, the error message is same :cry:

Seems the update is not properly applied on your end. You should see one extra logging information about test end points.

Because i set VERIFY_FP :sweat_smile: now i removed him

@Mayaman5566 Do you have the chromedriver downloaded and added to the folder? I think this was not clear in the documentation. I will update the README

1. Do another git pull.
2. Make sure your chromedriver is in the folder. Download the correct version matching your chrome browser version.
3. Give it another go

@Mayaman5566 Did it work?

[Mayaman5566]

@Mayaman5566 My best guess is this is to do with your connection/proxy. Cannot say for sure though

[CuriousYoda]

closing as it seems to be a user specific issue
