trending.py returns empty response

[Roman-Kasianenko]

when trying to run trending.py getting empty response:

b''

and as a result error in the terminal/console:

\tiktok-signature\examples\trending.py", line 30, in <module>
    print('Cannot run node script ' + str(exit_code) + ': ' + standard_err)
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str

I have tried to run it in a different way, using tiktok-signature running in docker, like this:

from pprint import pprint

import requests

referer = "https://www.tiktok.com/"
url = "https://m.tiktok.com/api/post/item_list/?aid=1988&count=30&secUid=MS4wLjABAAAAOUoQXeHglWcq4ca3MwlckxqAe-RIKQ1zlH9NkQkbLAT_h1_6SDc4zyPdAcVdTWZF&cursor=0"
headers = {
        'Content-type': 'application/json',
    }
response = requests.post('http://localhost/signature', headers=headers, data=url)

# the command was successful, handle the standard output
signature = response.json()
pprint(signature)
response = requests.get(signature['data']['signed_url'], headers={"method": "GET",
                                                                 "accept-encoding": "gzip, deflate",
                                                                 "Referer": referer,
                                                                 "user-agent": signature['data']['navigator']['user_agent'],
                                                                 "x-tt-params": signature['data']['x-tt-params']
                                                                 })

data = response.text

print('\nresult: ', data)

got the following output:

 'status': 'ok'}

result:  

as you can see, response from tiktok-signature and signature is generate, but if we use it in headers in doest work, the script return empty body instead of list of results.

also have tried with different urls (for example for the case/url described in https://github.com/carcabot/tiktok-signature/blob/master/examples/hashtag.js, but got the same, empty body.

To Reproduce run tranding.py from the repo or code I provided above if tiktok-signature is running in docker.

• Used OS - windows 11
• NodeJs Version (node -v) - v16.17.1
• Signature Version -
• CLI or Module - module
• Do you run the tool through Proxy, VPN, VPS? - NO
• Preferably provide URL to the profile,hashtag,video and etc page - URLs from examples JS files.

it seems like msToken is required. I have tried to get it using selenium and once I have added it into headers I was able to get the data.

@Roman-Kasianenko Is that possible to generate msToken with script instead of selenium?
