It looks like TikTok has changed substantially - and in such a way that I'm going to need to do some serious work on Fraidycat's scraper. I have some ideas - I will report back here when I have a plan.

Apologies for the delay in replying - I am working on getting Fraidycat 2 out right now.

No worries - TikTok API is having problems with it too. Might want to checkout their recent discussion for some ideas. https://github.com/davidteather/TikTok-Api/issues/695

I actually ran across that discussion earlier as I was hunting around!

Fraidycat tackles the problem differently - so we won't need quite such an elaborate solution. But it is still an HTTP header situation - once I resolve it we should be pretty resilient!
