Issue with Java Script

When I try to run the Java Script in the Console in Developer Tools, this error pops up and won't extract comments. Could you explain why and how to fix this? Thank you!

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'outerText' of null at <anonymous>:136:98

Hello!
I'm trying out the scraper on this TikTok and more but I keep encountering this error on all of the videos I've tried:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'outerText' of null at <anonymous>:136:98

I'm using Windows 10 and Chrome Browser.

Sorry if this is something I could've easily solved, I'm not familiar with JavaScript!
(also, is there a way to just get the .csv output? I'd like to perform data analysis on the output in R). Thanks!

2nd level comments (replies) don't work

Only the first reply to a comment is transferred to the xlsx. document.

run in google colab

stopped working with following error in console :

init.js?cache:1 POST https://mon-va.byteoversea.com/monitor_browser/collect/batch/ net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

Error at the end

Scraping stop working after around 80 comments

Hey, first of all amazing tool and i really like the fact that you can use it so easy on windows but for me it will only scrape like around 80 comments and then it seems like tiktok blocks the traffic or something.

I tried it two times.

Oh, i see you are from germany as well! (Also kannst du mir auch gerne auf deutsch antworten.)

Error

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ')'

When I attempt to run the latest script I get an error saying there's an unexpected token in line 197 (screenshot 1).

When I opened src/ScrapeTikTokComments.js in Sublime it also highlights the same character (screenshot 2). Removing this character does not appear to fix the issue as I get the same error message (screenshot 3). When I remove the last 3 characters )() then the script appears to work correctly (screenshot 4).

I've never coded in JS, so I'm not sure if these changes break something. But if other people are having the same issue then this change may be needed.

Hello, script often works perfectly fine but then often aborts because of the same error above.

• Add On Idea

If the program aborts would it be possible to save all the already copied comments
