Get profile picture of user who isn't streaming.

[ThanoFish]

I wanted to get the info of any user even if they are not streaming. I found that the getRoomInfo method works great for this, but I can't find the url for the profile picture.

You could extract the profile picture URL from page source https://www.tiktok.com/@username
Or use the API, which only works if you submit a valid session cookie: https://www.tiktok.com/api/user/detail/?aid=1988&app_language=en&app_name=tiktok_web&channel=tiktok_web&device_id=7108110397252322822&uniqueId=billieeilish

Thanks

do i just have to replace "billieeilish" in "uniqueId=billieeilish" with the username of the person I want to get info on?

I've been trying to do both of these for a while now and both give no info. The "data" key in axios is literally undefined.

const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://www.tiktok.com/api/user/detail/?aid=1988&app_language=en&app_name=tiktok_web&channel=tiktok_web&device_id=7108110397252322822&uniqueId=billieeilish', {
    headers: {
        'Connection': 'keep-alive',
        'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.5060.66 Safari/537.36 Edg/103.0.1264.44',

        'Cookie': 'sessionid=1d9148c13154b2cf14ff7005021b7904' // enter your sessionid cookie value
    }
}).then(response => {
    console.log(response.data.userInfo.user.avatarLarger);
}).catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
})

thank you, this worked perfectly. I forgot to add 2 of the headers
