Watermark-less and HD downloading broken

[Fukitsu]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Downloading videos without the watermark and in HD doesn't work anymore, but I've noticed that it only seems to happen with videos that were uploaded today 2020-July-27.

If fields below will be empty then issue will be Ignored and Closed

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Used OS Windows 10
• NodeJs Version (node -v) 12.18.3
• Scraper Version (tiktok-scraper --version) 1.3.0
• CLI or Module CLI
• Used method -d -w --hd
• Used options -d -w --hd
• Do you run the scraper through Proxy, VPN, VPS? No
• If scraping from a profile. Did you checked if profile is Public? Scraper won't work with Private profiles! Public profile
• Preferably provide URL to the profile,hashtag,video and etc page If I try to scrape this video for example: https://www.tiktok.com/@meikasama/video/6854248971682974981 with -d -w --hd flags I get this: Error: options.uri is a required argument But if I use: tiktok-scraper user meikasama -d -w --hd -n 1 it will download the watermarked video Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Well i have checked videos that were uploaded recently and video id value is missing, and that id is required to download video without the watermark

[drawrowfly]

Old videos "dataisomiso2avc1mp41<4datavid:v09044b00000bs7o7tgp8rs6d937drk0%dataLavf58.20.10free" New videos "dataisomiso2avc1mp41%dataLavf58.20.10free"

id for that video just checked by sniff TikTok App but idk how to get new id with old method

Fukitsu I have the same problem. Can not download videos without watermark, that were uploaded recently

[drawrowfly]

"Solution" that you have used requires implementing signature method, so it is not a solution X-Gorgon: X-Khronos:

[areltiyan]

"Solution" that you have used requires implementing signature method, so it is not a solution X-Gorgon: X-Khronos:

agree

[kamronbek29]

@drawrowfly Yes, but there is no script to generate these signatures (X-Gorgon and X-Khronos)

[drawrowfly]

@kamronbek29 Off-course there won't be any public "script" that's why i have said "so it is not a solution"

Also there are ways to generate signature, the easiest way is through Frida, but this will require bunch of work

[kamronbek29]

@drawrowfly Yes, agree with u. Waiting for updates. Thanks

But how you got id for new video?

[vnnegt]

i've noticed that it appears to be only videos that have the "Save" option disabled that exhibit this behavior

can anyone else confirm?

[Fukitsu]

@vnnegt Can confirm though I got "Error: options.uri is a required argument" with one of the three I tried with but it worked with the other two

It looks like video id is missing from all new uploads regardless of privacy settings.

just sniff with app tiktok, like a fiddler btw to get this vidid need to x-gorgon and X-Khronos (timestamp)

[harimambura]

I found that this https://api-m.tiktok.com/aweme/v1/aweme/detail/ api endpoint seems to be exist, but don't know how to get something with it..

[kamronbek29]

Is there anyone who found a way to download tiktok videos without watermark?

[drdexter1989]

Maybe I would help in that too?

[areltiyan]

wow thanks btw where you get that api? tiktok app?

[drawrowfly]

Everything is possible, but i don't see point in it , i knew about this way but it is unstable and requires extra hassle

[drawrowfly]

@drdexter1989 ok and ?)

[Marky]

what about using some API from https://rapidapi.com/search/tiktok as option?

https://rapidapi.com/ssovit/api/tiktok-no-watermark1 may not always give result you want.. but you may find it useful

[drawrowfly]

This is already getting ridiculous please post here messages only about solutions related to the WebAPI!

1. If you disclose something related to the mobile API in public, TikTok will take note of it, i already mentioned before few times that i spotted traffic from bytedance(tiktok owner) to this repo
2. Decompiling an android app is an easy peasy task but getting something from complied and obfuscated C/C++ library that is responsible for generating different ID's/Tokens and etc is another thing
3. Such things are never disclosed in public repo

[drawrowfly]

lol)

@Zipdox few decompilation tips for beginners

1. Apktool won't always decompile the app(i'm not going in too why this is happening)
2. You can always change file extension from apk to zip, and extract content
3. There you will find lots of DEX files that can be "decompiled" with different tools, for example https://github.com/pxb1988/dex2jar
4. After you can review each decompiled file with JD-GUI

This is off-topic and I'm sure the repo owner doesn't appreciate it. Go coordinate this on your own repo

[drawrowfly]

sorry guys , but i don't appreciate off-topic . When i will have a working solution that does not require mobile api i will update the repo.
