Error in getting trends [Mac OS]

[graalume]

Hey there, I've been trying to get a tonne of trend data so I've been running

trends <- tk_posts(scope = trends, n = 6000)

I was setting n super high because it kept on returning duplicated data so if n was set to 200 I only got 50 unique videos back. It was working until just a few minutes ago and now I'm just getting the following message:

Error in if (out$statusCode == "10219") { : argument is of length zero

I noticed this was similar to another closed issue but it looked like it was resolved for the user who made the issue with a patch from two weeks ago.

Any ideas?

Hi,

First, you won't get more than 2000 with the trend endpoint. This is the limit set by Tiktok.

The error is a bug in the code. I've just merged the dev branch and this should be solved. Can you try to reinstall the package and let me know if the error persists.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Awesome! Thank you! And thanks for responding so fast!

Hello, thank you for the great work, the package looks great!:)

I've had a couple of problems as well related to this. Retrieving trends, with
tk_posts(scope = "trends", n = 2)
the R session aborts, independently on n.

When retrieving hashtags, I get this error:

Error in get_data(url, ...) : 
  empty response : request was blocked by tiktok

And when retrieving users, I get this error:

Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
                                      {statusCode: 0,body: {userData: 
                     (right here) ------^

Any ideas on how to solve these issues?
