Hmm - I just tried it on my machine using your data and it downloaded 5 successfully, with 2 failures, as it should be. Maybe we have different versions of some libraries. If you run pip freeze
using the version of Python you are using, what do you get. I get:
beautifulsoup4==4.9.3
certifi==2021.5.30
chardet==4.0.0
greenlet==1.1.0
idna==2.10
playwright==1.12.1
pyee==8.1.0
requests==2.25.1
selenium==3.141.0
selenium-stealth==1.0.6
soupsieve==2.2.1
TikTokApi==3.9.9
tqdm==4.61.0
typing-extensions==3.10.0.0
urllib3==1.26.5
websockets==9.1
In particular, what version of TikTokApi
does it show?
I am using Python 3.9.6. I just installed everything last night and have never used Python before (I only have a little bit of coding experience). Do I need to be signed into TikTok or copy a web_id or something similar from the site's cookies or anything like that? Here is what comes up after running pip freeze
certifi==2021.5.30
charset-normalizer==2.0.4
colorama==0.4.4
greenlet==1.1.0
idna==3.2
playwright==1.13.1
pyee==8.1.0
requests==2.26.0
selenium==3.141.0
selenium-stealth==1.0.6
TikTokApi==4.0.0
tqdm==4.62.0
urllib3==1.26.6
websockets==9.1
I just bumped my TikTokApi
version to 4.0.0 like yours, and then all 7 failed as yours did, so it looks like that's the cause. Try installing 3.9.9 (pip install TikTokApi==3.9.9
) and see if that fixes it.
If it does I will update requirements.txt to mandate version 3.9.9, and look at what changed in the new version.
(And no you don't need to sign in or anything like that.)
Installing TIkTokApi
3.9.9 fixed the issue, thanks!
Great! Thanks for spotting this.
Thank you for writing this tool and making it freely available. I was looking forward to using it, but when I tried to use tiktok-save to download my liked videos I only ended up with a failures list, even though most of my liked videos are still viewable on TikTok's website.
I downloaded a JSON export of my TikTok data on 7/18/2021. Today (8/4/2021) I installed tiktok-save and ran
.\save.py liked user_data.json liked_test
The only thing in the liked_test folder is failures.json, which lists 7 items (corresponding to all 7 of my liked videos in my JSON export).I don't know why all the videos are failing to download since, as of 8/4/2021 2:20am PST, 5 out of 7 of my liked videos are still viewable on TikTok and only the following 2 are unavailable: https://www.tiktok.com/@guywiththehair_official/video/6962207408601009414 https://www.tiktok.com/@caseyvanarsdale/video/6968513477006593285
