Api is broken at the moment due to tiktok blocking server requests better than before

@davidteather ah ok, thanks!

[socialmediaguy]

@davidteather Sorry, another question. Do you know if you will be able to fix it and/or if there is any way that I can find the most popular videos by certain criteria like hashtags? I don't need to download them, just need to find the most popular ones. Thanks

@socialmediaguy I've tried many other methods including hashtag searches, but I'm getting None (same error that you're having). I think the only way would be scraping instead of using the api, if you need it asap

@adebayor123 Do you have anything that can be used for scraping? would be so much help. thank you

A new version has been released that may solve your problem update with the following

pip install TikTokApi --upgrade
