ms_token

[kulig1985]

how to get the proper ms token? or wher and how to generate it? Thanks!

[jesse-moderwell]

I was wondering this myself. Here's how I'm doing it so far:

• Go to tiktok.com
• right click then do inspect
• find the application tab (for me I have to click on the arrows >>)
• Then click on cookies, and there should be a bunch of values in a table of sorts. There are several items marked 'msToken'

Not sure if that is technically the correct way. It does seem to work some times, but I'm running into other issues. Hope that helps

Yes its kinda weird because my msToken keeps changing every minute or so

@ActualMasterOogway

I can confirm the ms_token changes frequently, sometimes even every second. By the time I run my script, the token may have expired, resulting in no output. Despite meeting all prerequisites, I haven't been able to run a single successful example using this repository.

The documentation, including the linked YouTube video, seems outdated and causes confusion. Without proper documentation, this repository is not reliable. I recommend finding a different API for TikTok integration.

same here, is there a solution?

[rahults2016]

Does anybody find a solution to this? I can see ms_token changing very frequently

what I figured out was 1) don't use any existing msToken, let the API generate for you, and 2) add below after await page.goto(url)

        await page.goto(url)
        await page.wait_for_timeout(3000)
        await page.click("button:text('Accept All')")
        await page.wait_for_timeout(3000)

this seemed to be working for me.

Are you guys dumb, msToken is being recreated every request from the response cookie, but the only valid msToken is the one which is using the common / report endpoint by encrypting the strData (web mssdk), the the strData is the one which depends if its valid or not
