"Unexpected end of JSON input" When trying to get all videos from a user ...

[palmthree-studio]

Hello,

I've tried anything that I can, but I am never able to get all videos from a user ...

I always have this error : invalid json response body at https://api2.musical.ly/aweme/v1/aweme/detail/?aweme_id=7144372530571267333 reason: Unexpected end of JSON input. type: 'invalid-json';

This is my code :

app.get('/getAllVideos', async (req, res) => {
  var username = "exclutele";
  const videos = await tiktokscraper.getAllVideosFromUser(username,true);
  res.send(videos);
  console.log(videos);
});

Can you help me to figure it out ?

Thanks !

@palmthree-studio for what it's worth, I'm getting the same thing getting video info...

Hey @palmthree-studio and @weisensee, You are getting this error because the api which is used by the library to fetch the videos without watermark is down. I have been looking for alternatives for some time now. Will be fixed soon 🤘🏼

If the api is only down to download the videos without watermark, is there maybe a way to get the videos with watermark? I am only interested in the data from the videos of a user. I don't need the videos themselves. Is there any way to customize the repository somewhere so you can use that for this?

@naseif I also get the invalid json response. The reason is your fetch for https://m.tiktok.com/api/post/item_list/... returns empty string which then cannot be deserialized into valid JSON. I don't know the reason is started returning empty string but is there an alternative?

Same error for python implementations
