V4.0.4.1 - Add CITATION.cff

V4.0.4 - Fix Package Installation Issue

Fixes #709

V4.0.3 - Update Selenium, Optimizations

Hey here's a brief summary of this release I am too tired to write a longer one

• Update Selenium to work with the changed code (but please try to switch to playwright if you can it's a pain to support both)
• Add by_sound_page similar to user_page
• When going to the tiktok site directly unneeded content like .mp4 and images are not loaded

That's all :)
Thank you for using this API

V4.0.2 - Fix Methods With x-tt-params

It appears that most of the methods have been fixed :). Big shout out to @MuffinFox for #699 and to @carcabot who found the new updated signature methods (and for the code I've used in the past). Thanks to everyone who helped on #695

Finally, if you're reading this thank you for supporting this API.

Update with pip install TikTokApi --upgrade

Kinda Broken :\

• by_trending -> only retrieves the first page of trending which TikTok then responds hasMore: False which makes the code exit. Not sure how to get around this right now

Intermittent Issues

• by_hashtag -> sometimes throws error saying it doesn't exist

Methods Still Not Currently Working

• get_suggested_users_by_id / get_suggested_hashtags_by_id / get_suggested_music_by_id
• discover_hashtags / discover_music

V4.0.1 - Fix TikTokApi has no attribute region

• Fixed TikTokApi has no attribute .region
• Changed up tests to hopefully have CI pass more
• Add README to the doc generator

pip install TikTokApi --upgrade

I'm just a student who would love new connections :) LinkedIn
Feel free to sponsor me on GitHub it helps me maintain this :)

V4.0.0 - Fixed downloading videos, improved detection masking, deprecated camel case methods

• Fix downloading tiktoks
• Fully deprecate old naming convention
• Convert did to device_id to be consistent with current state of the website
• Avoid detection further by comparing headers to my iOS device's

Run

pip install TikTokApi --upgrade

How to update from V3 to V4

1. Replace all camel case functions with snake case)
   Ex: getUserObject -> get_user_object
2. Change custom_did to custom_device_id
   This change better reflects what's going on in the frontend.
3. Change trending -> by_trending

Sorry for kinda neglecting this repository, hope you enjoy these changes. All tests passed at least once across the different testing VMs, I really gotta find a better way to test this, let me know if you know of a better way thanks :)

I feel like I'm adding too many :) but maybe that's a result of me being up at 1am 😄

V3.9.9.1 - Fix itemList key error

Ok yeah the versioning for this is dumb but I want 4.0.0 to be a larger update (not sure what yet)

V3.9.9 - Avoid More Detection

Thanks for the PR #613 all tests passed on it (which they haven't done on GitHub actions for quite some time) thanks to #613 as of right now.

If they're passing this convincingly on GitHub actions scraping should be more efficient and less detectable for now.

V3.9.8 - Update To Avoid Detection Better

Merge pull request #606 from davidteather/nightly

V3.9.8 - Update to avoid some more detection

V3.9.7 - Add "x-secsdk-csrf-token" header and update some tests

Seems like the discover methods are no longer working as frequently if at all with the use_test_endpoints=True, look at the diff for this pr (#603 ) specifically in the test files to see the methods that seem to be affected the most.

Also generate_did has been moved to a static function.

(also the tests are passing on my machine just not GitHub actions because they're not on residential IPs some of the errors might be transient)
