InitialCursorMissing occurs In Version 4.3.3

[you-ri]

In v4.3.3, running basic.py in exsample or simple code such as the following now causes an error.

from TikTokLive import TikTokLiveClient
from TikTokLive.types.events import CommentEvent, ConnectEvent

# Cookies > sessionid
sessionid = ""

# Cookies > sid_guard
sid_guard = ""

client = TikTokLiveClient("@tv_asahi_news", **{
    "headers": {
        "Cookie": f"sessionid={sessionid}; sid_guard={sid_guard};"
    }
})

# Notice no decorator?
async def on_comment(event: CommentEvent):
    print(f"{event.user.nickname} -> {event.comment}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Run the client and block the main thread
    # await client.start() to run non-blocking
    client.run(session_id=sessionid)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\you-r\scoop\apps\python\current\lib\site-packages\TikTokLive\client\base.py", line 380, in _connect
    await self.__fetch_room_data(True)
  File "C:\Users\you-r\scoop\apps\python\current\lib\site-packages\TikTokLive\client\base.py", line 221, in __fetch_room_data
    raise InitialCursorMissing("Missing cursor in initial fetch response.")
TikTokLive.types.errors.InitialCursorMissing: Missing cursor in initial fetch response.

When I bring it down to v4.2.0, the error no longer occurs but it is not responsive. Two weeks ago it was working fine. Is there something I am missing?

Stop passing session id data on headers, this is most likely what is causing your issue. It is not required anymore and I believe TikTok have gone as far as banning accounts that use them with this library.

I have the same problem. Is this library no longer available?

[isaackogan]

Hello, please read my above comment. As far as I am aware the library is working just fine, or I'd have received far more complaints. Update the library and/or post your code.

[HSY777]

Thank you for your answer. I just installed 4.3.3 version of TicTokLive and ran basic.py.

from TikTokLive import TikTokLiveClient
from TikTokLive.types.events import CommentEvent, ConnectEvent

# Instantiate the client with the user's username
client: TikTokLiveClient = TikTokLiveClient(unique_id="koo0_90")

# Define how you want to handle specific events via decorator
@client.on("connect")
async def on_connect(_: ConnectEvent):
    print("Connected to Room ID:", client.room_id)

# Notice no decorator?
async def on_comment(event: CommentEvent):
    print(f"{event.user.nickname} -> {event.comment}")

# Define handling an event via "callback"
client.add_listener("comment", on_comment)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Run the client and block the main thread
    # await client.start() to run non-blocking
    client.run()

You need the @ before your user id like the example. TikTokLiveClient = TikTokLiveClient(unique_id="@isaackogz")

TikTokLiveClient(unique_id="@koo0_90")

[isaackogan]

Actually the @ shouldn't matter. Maybe there's an issue. Try with the @, but I'll do more looking when I get home tomorrow.

[Porksoduh]

I know I had this same issue on a previous version when I left the @ off and adding it fixed it. Haven't tried it without @ on 4.3.3. I'm also not home for a day otherwise I'd verify it.

[HSY777]

I've already tried adding @, but it still causes the same problem.

[Porksoduh]

Ah OK. I may be confused with another error I had previously.

[isaackogan]

You should check that you aren't trying to connect to more than 2 clients at once.

I have the same problem. What should I do?

Your IP is blocked, it looks like. From my end, everything works. Try using a VPN to connect to the USA and see if that makes a difference.
