Describe the bug

when running example search_example.py the following error is returned

TikTokApi.exceptions.CaptchaException: 0 -> TikTok blocks this request displaying a Captcha 
Tip: Consider using a proxy or a custom_verify_fp as method parameters

The buggy code

import logging
TikTokApi(logging_level=logging.INFO) # SETS LOGGING_LEVEL TO INFO
# Hopefully the info level will help you debug or at least someone else on the issue

with TikTokApi() as api:
    for user in api.search.users("therock"):
        print(user.username)

    for sound in api.search.sounds("funny"):
        print(sound.title)

    for hashtag in api.search.hashtags("funny"):

same exact issue, actually none of the examples code work, each time it gives the same error:

TikTokApi.exceptions.CaptchaException: 0 -> TikTok blocks this request displaying a Captcha
Tip: Consider using a proxy or a custom_verify_fp as method parameters

I tried putting a custom_verify_fp or even using a proxy, same issue, absolutely nothing works…

I’ve been running into the same issue, and I think it is related specifically to when you are searching a user instance. For example, when you use the API to search the data for a specific video the captcha exception does not come up. However, trying to search for information specific to a user will raise the Captcha exception whether or not you’re using a proxy.
