getVideoByUrl() & getUser() are always false

[alina-ami]

Describe the bug

I use the method getVideoByUrl for almost 6 months and since January 17 it started returning only false. We use the WebShare proxy as suggested. I did some debugging and I observed that the code fails at the regex part:

In Api.php:488

$result = Helper::string_between($result, '{"props":{"initialProps":{', "</script>");

And the page source returned by the curl call does not contain this string anymore. The same happens for getUser method.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• PHP Version: 7.3
• Package Version:2.0.0
• Used Method: getVideoByUrl
• Used options: with and without proxy
• Do you use this package with VPS, VPN or proxy? Yes, I tried with multiple paid proxies
• Can you access TikTok website without captcha or forced login screen? yes
• Is the profile you are tyring to get data from is private? No
• Preferably provide URL to the profile,hashtag,video and etc page: any page

Screenshots

$api = new \Sovit\TikTok\Api([ 
"proxy-host" => config('proxy.host'), 
"proxy-port" => config('proxy.port'),  
"proxy-username" => config('proxy.username'), 
"proxy-password" => config('proxy.password')
]);

$result = $api->getUser('moniquedias961'); // returns false
$result = $api->getVideoByUrl('https://www.tiktok.com/@ravmalik/video/7030873814435138821'); // returns false
