[BUG] - Code doesn't return anything.

I don’t get any output from any code, even the examples provided with the package and in the readme

import logging
from TikTokApi import TikTokApi

with TikTokApi(logging_level=logging.INFO) as api:
    for trending_video in api.trending.videos(count=50):
        print(trending_video.author.username)

I’ve tried reinstalling it, installing it from outside the venv, reinstalling playwright, passing the cookie to the API and nothing changed. Is anyone else having the same issue?

I was having this issue, but I noticed the url generated worked fine in my browser

So I exported the cookies from my browser (I’m logged into TikTok) into cookies.json and then was able to use the below to set those cookies in all requests through the api

import json

def get_cookies_from_file():
    with open('cookies.json') as f:
        cookies = json.load(f)

    cookies_kv = {}
    for cookie in cookies:
        cookies_kv[cookie['name']] = cookie['value']

    return cookies_kv


cookies = get_cookies_from_file()


def get_cookies(**kwargs):
    return cookies


api = TikTokApi()

api._get_cookies = get_cookies  # This fixes issues the api was having

This is working for me

Here’s the step-by-step that worked for me, @Wathfea:

1. Install this cookie manager extension for Chrome (others may work): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookiemanager-cookie-edit/
2. Log into TikTok using Chrome
3. Using the cookie manager extension, view all cookies from tiktok.
4. Select and export all as a cookies.json file. These will have the keys “name” and “value”.
5. Use the code provided by @adamd01
