get_account_video_urls not working #2

Closed nothingcomeseasy closed 2 years ago

nothingcomeseasy commented 2 years ago

First of all, thanks for this tool @dfreelon , it will help me a lot and I'm sure it will help many people!

Whenever I try to use the code below:

tiktok_videos = pyk.get_account_video_urls('https://www.tiktok.com/@tiktok')

I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'string'

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, try it again now. I just tried it twice, and the first time it triggered the same error you got, but the second time it worked (exact same code both times). Maybe it's a network issue? Good luck!

This appears to be an intermittent issue, you might try again later or on another machine/OS. One thing you can do to troubleshoot is run get_tiktok_json on your video URL and inspect the results. If it's a large JSON object with lots of metadata in it you should be fine, but if it's small with no metadata, it's a server-side issue the software can't fix.

I'll push out a version with a proper error message for this soon.
