How to get more than 30 metadata lines from a user's page?

[JdbermeoUZH]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to get more than the last 30 items from a user's page? Is there a header or parameter in the get request in get_tiktok_json() that may be used so that it returns more than 30?

Thanks!

I checked and other packages use the cursor parameter to paginate over the different posts and get more than 30 videos, however they used the previous API and no longer work. The current request one gets with get_tiktok_json() in pyktok does return the cursor and the hasMore parameter, but I tried specifying the cursor as a query in the get request but it did not work (I still got the same 30 results). Do you perhaps know maybe how the cursor should be specified in the get request?

Hi, not sure how this works, will try to have a look in the coming weeks.

Hi, I'm also struggling with this function, I wonder if you have already fixed it by this way or found another solution? Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, haven't had the time to return to this--if anyone else has any working ideas, please add a PR.

this maybe cherry picking worthy -

is it out of scope or implemented?

found this - https://github.com/Dinoosauro/tiktok-to-ytdlp/blob/main/script.js

eg.
https://www.tiktok.com/@jayjaysapphire
it works to navigate user to that page - and run script - will spit out a textfile -> like this

It's not out of scope, but my Javascript isn't strong enough to re-implement the approach demonstrated in your example in Python. If anyone wants to try, please be my guest...
