[BUG] - User Posts Breaking

See original GitHub issue

TikTok released a breaking error where the “ttwid” cookie is now required or user requests will fail. The page for info about this is https://cookiedatabase.org/cookie/tiktok/ttwid/.

This is an example of the cookie value: 1%7CHroxlZ5x7BxbDPCT5DPZnmKD5QOiwYNYG6PonvRcEDA%7C1630633125%7C6f27900c837adbe282f60db0b20ed571699e8ecbe4ab4ab979b4077f9d812e57

Does this format ring any bells for anyone? Ideally we need to be able to create this cookie with the TikTok-Api client, or, input the cookie ourselves.

Copying over the info I found earlier (from above):

The cookie is generated from a post request to https://www.tiktok.com/ttwid/check/ (set-cookie header). That request requires a fid parameter but I can’t tell what generates that.

I also noticed this new script which seems relevant to the changes: https://www.tiktok.com/acrawler/webmssdk.js I was able to partially de-obfuscate that with http://jsnice.org/.
