[BUG] - TikTok blocks this request displaying a Captcha even with custom_verifyFp

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

custom_verifyFp worked last week. Today, it got blocked even with custom_verifyFp parameter. I am suspecting the cookie had expired. So, I tried to get new s_v_web_id, I usee the login with phone number method to open the Captcha box.

The buggy code

api = TikTokApi(custom_verify_fp=sys.argv[1])

user = api.user(sys.argv[2])

python tiktok.py cookie_here username_here

Expected behavior

It should return dict.

Error Trace (if any)

ERROR:root:Tiktok wants to display a catcha. Response is:
{"code":"10000", **removed as it contains the fp cookie**}
ERROR:root:{**removed as it contains csrf token**}
