[INSTALLATION] - Chromium downloading taking forever for any api calls

[nitneo]

Describe the error

When I am calling api the script started to download the chromium and it took forever to complete the download. It looks like it almost struck at 39-40% and never complete. Am getting the below message from the code, please note this is not an error or script won't terminate but and endless download which is downloading only few bits per sec.

RESTART: C:\Users\***\Desktop\tiktok.py ==================
[W:pyppeteer.chromium_downloader] start chromium download.
Download may take a few minutes.

I also downloaded chromedriver as per instruction given in this issue and tested through cmd prompt (windows) and it is running fine. Still issue exist for me

The buggy code

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi # this imports the library api = TikTokApi() # initializes the library to api count = 2

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro
• TikTokApi Version [e.g. 3.3.1] - Downloaded on 9/4/2020
  • Python version - 3.8 (script was not runing in python version 3.7)

Hey @nitneo,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #251 - [BUG] - Response 403
• #249 - [FEATURE_REQUEST] - Hope to add support for search users, videos, sounds by keywords
• #246 - [BUG] - The API returns consistently 404 after 335 consecutive calls are made

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job :smile:

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers, Your Friendly Neighborhood ProBot
