Fix user.videos crawling issue

[lhphat02]

Issue: Can't crawl videos from user.videos more than 35 videos (even if using cursor).

The code I used for testing:

async def get_user_videos(username):
    start_time = time.time()
    row_count = 0

    async with TikTokApi() as api:
        await api.create_sessions(headless=False, ms_tokens=[ms_token], num_sessions=1, sleep_after=3)
        user = api.user(username)
        user_data = await user.info()
        post_count = user_data["userInfo"]["stats"].get("videoCount")

        async for video in user.videos(count=post_count):
            url = f"https://www.tiktok.com/@{video.as_dict['author']['uniqueId']}/video/{video.id}"
            print(f"URL: {url}") 
            row_count += 1

    end_time = time.time()
    elapsed_time = end_time - start_time
    print(f"Execution time: {elapsed_time} seconds")
    print(f"Total rows: {row_count}")
    print(f"Rows per second: {row_count / elapsed_time}")

Before modifying the videos method:

Applying this patch locally fixed the issue I was experiencing with the 6.3.0 release. Thank you!

This fix is breaking the count parameter, since the function will always return multiples of 35 (or less if the number of videos is smaller). But it might work if we add an additional break statement in this loop:

TikTok-Api/TikTokApi/api/user.py

Lines 134 to 136 in 7101654

	for video in resp.get("itemList", []):
	yield self.parent.video(data=video)
	found += 1

for video in resp.get("itemList", []):
    yield self.parent.video(data=video)
    found += 1
    if found == count:
        break

Still the cursor parameter is useless and confusing for the user of this function.
