Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.

[slcoan96]

I was able to use the package last week a few times, though yesterday I came across this error with a tk_posts(scope="user",...) request:

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

Frankly, I'm not too familiar with json and GET requests generally so this could maybe just be the product of nothing being returned from the request? I used specific examples with active account names so there shouldn't be a problem there. Additionally, I tried this to see if other requests work and got the following error:

> x <- tk_posts(scope = "trends", n = 5)
Error in get_data(url, parse = T, ...) : 
  empty response : request was blocked by tiktok

Any thoughts? Thanks!
