not collecting tiktok data

[claracluz]

Hi! So, no matter how long I scroll or on whichever page on Tiktok, the number of items on Zeeschuimer keeps being 0. Yesterday, it would only collect from the for you page, but not hashtag pages. today it won't collect at all. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi @claracluz , looks like TikTok updated their interface in the past few days so items aren't "recognised" anymore by Zeeschuimer. We'll look into restoring this functionality, thanks for reporting.

v1.7.0 currently working for my instance. Possibly they are testing a new interface that has not been rolled out everywhere.

@claracluz can you tell us what version of Zeeschuimer you are using? The number is visible at the top of the interface, next to the 'Zeeschuimer' header.

Yea, I'm using v1.7.0 as well. Just checked and it's still not collecting any items on tiktok :( Is there maybe something I can try from here?

Hi @claracluz , this turns out to be hard to address/reproduce because we're not seeing this problem on our side. Have you noticed any changes in the TikTok interface recently? This could indicate that they are 'trying out' a new version of the interface for some, but not all users, which may explain why you're encountering this issue but we are not.

For reference, this is what the For You Page looks like for me in the browser:

Hi, so sorry for the time it took me to answer! Yea, my for you page looks exactly like that except it's in portuguese. I still don't know why it won't work, but I figured out how to do my research with only the dada I had already collected and saved, so I'm okay with closing this thread. Highly appreciate your time and effort in helping!

This was probably fixed in f257af7c12f5d28afe03160c24d1c7804b5698c3.
