V3.9.5 - Some general fixes

Things were fixed 😄

• discover methods fixed
• byUsername & other HTML requests fixed

V3.9.4 - Improved Downloading Video Handling

Changes

• Updated documentation for custom_did
• custom_did is maintained at the instance level if set
• generate_static_did added as a parameter to the TikTok constructor. If set to True it will generate and maintain a static custom_did so you don't have to do it yourself.
• Added generate_did method which returns a valid did which you can use however you want.

V3.9.3 - The documentation and naming scheme update

This package has spent too long having its documentation listed in the readme of all places. I'm excited to announce that I've added a new auto-documenting part to the codebase. Hopefully, that makes this package that much more easy to deal with

Naming Scheme

• All the methods have moved from camelCase to snake_case as it's annoyed me for a bit
• BUT don't worry it's backward compatible and I intend to keep it that way for at least awhile

The last time I did this it was super effective so please connect with me on LinkedIn if you're reading this. I'm just a 1st year in college and anything helps, plus I spent like 3.5 hours on this update on a Sunday night.

V3.9.2 - Update for TikTok Endpoint change

Changes

• TikTok updated their endpoints and some JSON that it returned
• Some maxCursor and minCursor have been deprecated due to it being changed on TikTok's end, so you may need to change these to restore functionality

V3.9.0 - Fix Playwright running in multitudes

See #464

Also the tests aren't passing but they should as they passed on the PR TikTok is just hitting them with captchas :(

V3.8.9 - Fix No Watermark Method

The main update is the fix of the no watermark method.

The naming scheme for that method has changed it is now get_video_no_watermark(self, video_url, return_bytes=1, **kwargs)

The other change is the introduction of get_tiktok_by_html(self, url, **kwargs) this was added a helper method of get_video_no_watermark but it extracts the information from the HTML of a TikTok rather than API calls

To download a video here's example code

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi

api = TikTokApi.get_instance(use_test_endpoints=True)

data = api.get_video_no_watermark('https://www.tiktok.com/@gordonramsayofficial/video/6910298199769009414?lang=en')

with open("test.mp4", "wb") as out:
    out.write(data)

V3.8.8 - Fix itemList Error

TikTok changed their structure of their API requests leading to a key error that should be fixed now.

And TikTok's Desktop Site is back! 🎊 kinda annoying while it was down

V3.8.7 - Fix getUser & secUid & userPager

• Fixed Hardcoded m.tiktok.com
• Fix latin-1 encoding
