[BUG] - Error encountered getting user videos: TikTokApi.exceptions.EmptyResponseException: None -> TikTok returned an empty response

[paul-puzzless]

Describe the bug

I'm currently facing the following issue acquiring user video data: TikTokApi.exceptions.EmptyResponseException: None -> TikTok returned an empty response

The buggy code

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
import asyncio
import os

ms_token = os.environ.get(
    "ms_token", None
)  # set your own ms_token, think it might need to have visited a profile


async def user_example():
    async with TikTokApi() as api:
        await api.create_sessions(
            ms_tokens=[ms_token],
            num_sessions=1,
            sleep_after=3,
        )
        user = api.user("therock")

        async for video in user.videos(count=30):
            print(video)
            print(video.as_dict)


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

Expected behavior

Video information printed out as dict

• OS: macOS Sonoma 14.2.1
• TikTokApi Version: 6.2.0

Additional context

I've also tried to trigger this request manually. This is the output I get:

{"userInfo": {"user": {},"stats": {},"shareMeta": {}}}

This issue seems to be somehow related: #1097

same with me, any updates ?

I get the same error on all of the examples except for the "get video information" about a specific video.
Do you manage to succeed with the other examples?

Same here

Launch the browser with headless=False. You should see that it prompts for you to sign in. We'll probably need some custom playwright code to get around this prompt whenever it pops up.

Temporary fix to it : in "tiktok.py" line 206, change headless=True, to false.
