[BUG] - Error encountered getting comments: TikTokApi.exceptions.EmptyResponseException: None -> TikTok returned an empty response about tiktok-api HOT 13 OPEN

I've tried this any it work: in the api.create_sessions you should add the param headless=False, this will open the playwright browser on your computer and then you can have the response. Full command:

api.create_sessions(ms_tokens=[ms_token], num_sessions=1, sleep_after=3, headless=False)

It's a bit annoying but preventing the Empty Response error

This can also be fixed by setting the user_agent and viewport in the context_options while remaining headless

import asyncio
import os

ms_token = os.environ.get(
    "ms_token", None
) 
context_options = {
    'viewport' : { 'width': 1280, 'height': 1024 },
    'user_agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.150 Safari/537.36'
}

async def trending_videos():
    async with TikTokApi() as api:
        await api.create_sessions(ms_tokens=[ms_token], num_sessions=1, sleep_after=3, context_options=context_options)
        async for video in api.trending.videos(count=30):
            print(video)
            print(video.as_dict)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(trending_videos())

This also seems to bypass the need to have a ms_token

Looks like api is broken, i tried manualy do request to get user info https://www.tiktok.com/api/user/detail/?uniqueId=therock&msToken=token and its really return empty response

from tiktok-api.

I am getting this same exception on Mac Vetura 13.3 with the basic "trending videos" example.

`from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
import asyncio
import os

ms_token = os.environ.get("ms_token", None) # get your own ms_token from your cookies on tiktok.com

async def trending_videos():
async with TikTokApi() as api:
await api.create_sessions(ms_tokens=[ms_token], num_sessions=1, sleep_after=3)
async for video in api.trending.videos(count=30):
print(video)
print(video.as_dict)

if name == "main":
asyncio.run(trending_videos())`

Any updates on this? Running the basic example and I was able to get a response once but after that I get "TikTok returned an empty response"

from tiktok-api.

I have the same issue...

from tiktok-api.

Nope, for comments still doesn't work

from tiktok-api.

@VitoLin This worked for me for a few runs, then it went back to the "EmptyResponseException: None -> TikTok returned an empty response" error. Any idea why it only works periodically? Is there a rate limit or something? Thanks

from tiktok-api.

Has anyone tried rotating the ms_token or proxy we go through? It might be bot/scraping-detection on TikTok's part.

What do you mean by "rotating" the ms_token? And how would one do that? Thanks! @jpratt9

This only seems to work for me with api.trending, not api.user

from tiktok-api.

I'm still getting EmptyResponse no matter which one I try, even with headless=False

from tiktok-api.

Finally, I got a response. Maybe someone can help me out with headless=False. How not to show the pop-up window?
Without this attribute, I got error: TikTokApi.exceptions.EmptyResponseException: None -> TikTok returned an empty response
