[FEATURE_REQUEST] - reading all posts from user

[tarkhil]

Currently, userPosts has a limit of 99 posts per user. I've tried to overcome it with strange results.

For instance, api_url (without signature) of

https://m.tiktok.com/api/item_list/?count=20&id=90749434090700801&type=1&secUid=MS4wLjABAAAAZ3bpvHuv-YKYyr-j5XebY_r2SwueyZIVw33SqoqCdMIoOdV8EGk-E6ylXX4WZK9s&maxCursor=0&minCursor=0&sourceType=8&appId=1233 &region=US&language=en&verifyFp=

yields

{ "statusCode": 0, "items": [ ... 20 items ], "hasMore": true, "maxCursor": "1575173229000", "minCursor": "1591379153000" } next iteration as

https://m.tiktok.com/api/item_list/?count=20&id=90749434090700801&type=1&secUid=MS4wLjABAAAAZ3bpvHuv-YKYyr-j5XebY_r2SwueyZIVw33SqoqCdMIoOdV8EGk-E6ylXX4WZK9s&maxCursor=1575173229000&minCursor=1591379153000&sourceType=8&appId=1233&region=US&language=en&verifyFp=

gives me only

{ "statusCode": 0, "hasMore": false, "maxCursor": "0", "minCursor": "1591823378000" } while

https://m.tiktok.com/api/item_list/?count=200&id=90749434090700801&type=1&secUid=MS4wLjABAAAAZ3bpvHuv-YKYyr-j5XebY_r2SwueyZIVw33SqoqCdMIoOdV8EGk-E6ylXX4WZK9s&maxCursor=0&minCursor=0&sourceType=8&appId=1233&region=US&language=en&verifyFp=

(200 items instead of 20) gives 93 items, and setting minCursor and maxCursor according to returned json again yields hasMore: false and no items.

Does anyone know the way to fetch all user posts (okay, all posts to TikTok limit)? There should be some way to use minCursor and maxCursor

It's supported in this API for all posts (likely up to the 2,000 limit).

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
api = TikTokApi()

tiktoks = api.byUsername("someusername", count=500)
