Did TikTok just change up a lot of stuff again? I can not get any data.

[robindz]

Pretty much the title, looks like a whole lot of parameters got added to the endpoint and I'm not sure where to start really.

[robindz]

I made a fresh clone of the repo, installed playwright & playwright-webkit and tried to get a signature through the following command: node browser.js "https://m.tiktok.com/api/item_list/?count=30&id=6805697443515663361&type=1&secUid=&maxCursor=0&minCursor=0&sourceType=8&appId=1233" and this resulted in the following error:

Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'window.byted_acrawler.sign')

So I'm assuming something definitely got changed on their end. I've a feeling the endpoint itself might have changed to (for some reason I can still get a signature & verifyFp on my Raspberry Pi, but when using trending.py I get the following response:

{"code":"10000","from":"","type":"verify","version":"","region":"va","subtype":"slide","detail":"lJfMBXJCp0qsA8dOcUQyG3iIPu*h9FmP701Lo9lazaceKT1sgGbku4dhWZ3ZIfm9Dnr0nDK8w86C509ZHFLJZFGhdMZ5d3SQJis5oMOCRmDQnAcOYdqF2SzbpcmmFYQQV0q83HaKoZqPRO6Sbask4qMHKgnMkZSeQhRPzV0vs*zdMhj9d-a12VZmndrsSKBe3OBnS7QtgiimUwdXgjIjemVYHihSoIg.","verify_event":"","fp":"verify_kdjamid1_7D32cydO_sSjl_41Lc_8rd0_vbn8nVtmv2fW"}

[robindz]

I've been messing around for about two hours now and I'm fairly certain something changed with window.byted_acrawler.sign because I keep getting an error that states: Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'window.byted_acrawler.sign')

[carcabot]

@GodsWithin the repo is still working, probably you got banned and that's why you don't have access to window.byted_crawler.sign function. Try changing your server or IP to see if it's working or use proxy with playwright.

I get the following response:

That is a captcha I also got response like this, but after waiting for a while it worked again

if try, tell me plz.

[bjrambo]

If you request api for the last TikTok, you must use PC User-Agent in header request.

header = "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36", ( windows or mac ETC only use to PC user agent

but, there is no need to modify the useragent in index.js file. ( https://github.com/carcabot/tiktok-signature/blob/master/index.js#L6 ) no need fix it.

[bjrambo]

e.g for PHP)

        //First get to _signature, not use to user - agent, and no need fix index.js files.
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
        // i use to Docker. so i request to myserver. it same node browser.js "urlurlurl~~"
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:8080/signature");
        curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "urlurlurl~~");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4);
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        $src_data = json_decode($result);
        debugPrint($src_data);

        $url = "urlurlurl~~&verifyFp={$src_data->verifyFp}&_signature={$src_data->signature}";

        debugPrint($url);
        $ch = curl_init();
        $headers = array(
            "Host: t.tiktok.com",
            "Cookie: {$src_data->cookies}",
            // must be use pc agent
            "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36",
            "Referer: https://www.tiktok.com/@dj_hyo",
        );

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4);
        if (curl_error($ch))
        {
            print_r(curl_error($ch));
        }

        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        $src_data = json_decode($result);

Use m or t doesn't care. But know they have add a captcha so sometimes it works and sometimes not. The way is to add a timer between the request but it's not ok for all the request.

[toxicity1985]

And for the moment, tiktok have some issue with their website. Sometimes, i can see the page, sometimes not. Sometimes, i can see the video and sometimes not.

I just loop it until I get the actual result (code != '10000')

[robindz]

@GodsWithin the repo is still working, probably you got banned and that's why you don't have access to window.byted_crawler.sign function. Try changing your server or IP to see if it's working or use proxy with playwright.

Is there a recommended interval duration to perform checks? In my case on the posts of a single user.

@carcabot

[daviddanielarch-zz]

If you need to make lots of requests just use the server functionality, it will only makes one request from time to time to update the token.

[robindz]

@daviddanielarch I'm talking about requests sent to endpoints, not for getting credentials.

[toxicity1985]

If you need to make lots of requests just use the server functionality, it will only makes one request from time to time to update the token.

Server functionality doesn't work when we make a second call. We have an error with the Signer.

[bjrambo]

All you have to do is change the manual. We've worked this out.

Right? @GodsWithin

[toxicity1985]

Hello,

So Tiktok implements a captha way. One solution i found and didn't test for the moment is https://2captcha.com/2captcha-api#solving_tiktok. You have to send some cookie detail and they give you back what you need to bypass the captcha. I will test it this week so i can tell you if it's working or not.
