All events stopped working

[weteta]

this.connection = new WebcastPushConnection(uniqueId, {
	requestHeaders: {
		"Cookie": "sessionid=f6324878b8b34dbb8f86f1a2aafe5a0a;",
	},
});

Only this here solved my problem, I didn't put the ttwid and it worked normal

[diazndc]

@zerodytrash yep the new version is working, thank you!

Also it is working without the sessionid or ttwid.

[renelima]

Here it also stopped working

[adierebel]

maybe tiktok update their webcats, no event sent

[renelima]

Could it be that live-connector no longer works?

[OlegShklyarov]

Seems so. Waiting for Zerody

[OlegShklyarov]

maybe our time has come. To go to the factory

[asdfg314284230]

I have the same problem

[pbreit1988]

Same Problem

[zerodytrash]

Seems like TikTok no longer allows access to the webcast service without authentication.
Adding a valid sessionid and the ttwid cookie seems to fix the problem.

let tiktokChatConnection = new WebcastPushConnection('kingmohehe', {
    requestHeaders: {
        "Cookie": "sessionid=f6324878b8b34dbb8f86f1a2aafe5a0a; ttwid=1%7CLw5aVXrdJshrcdKNG2-zgC617ecDJ2WsxVHMymzZArQ%7C1658320010%7C03913e3ebc15cda442d9164e4f3f426544564573935abce01da09a557fa5130b;",
    },
    websocketHeaders: {
        "Cookie": "sessionid=f6324878b8b34dbb8f86f1a2aafe5a0a; ttwid=1%7CLw5aVXrdJshrcdKNG2-zgC617ecDJ2WsxVHMymzZArQ%7C1658320010%7C03913e3ebc15cda442d9164e4f3f426544564573935abce01da09a557fa5130b;",
    }
});

Can we use all the same source code? Copy Paste? Or must we generate something by our self?

[zerodytrash]

You need to extract the cookies (sessionid and ttwid) from your browser. The cookies mentioned in the example are invalid.

[pbreit1988]

Is there not a more elegant solution here? Pre Authentication via Nodejs and extracting the sessionid? I think the problem is that when I'm live I can't watch my own stream at the same time. So it could be that my sessionid does not allow me to connect to the stream.

[zerodytrash]

I think the problem is that when I'm live I can't watch my own stream at the same time. So it could be that my sessionid does not allow me to connect to the stream.

The session id is valid for all streams. You don't have to renew it every time.

[pbreit1988]

Okay i test it. Thank you for your Support.

How to obtain this data? We don't see sessionid and ttwid on browser's cookies

[OlegShklyarov]

And when user has many channels? He should authorize in the browser first, extract cookies and then put them to the call? For each channels separately?

[pbreit1988]

I extract the sessionid and the ttwid from my Chrome Browser and set it in the source code. But it not working.

[renelima]

Here too! Did not work

[asdfg314284230]

It's been solved. thank you

[OlegShklyarov]

It's been solved. thank you

How? Share you cure, please

[OlegShklyarov]

Should we change the connectionWrapper?

this.connection = new WebcastPushConnection(uniqueId, options);

[OlegShklyarov]

this.connection = new WebcastPushConnection(uniqueId, {
	requestHeaders: {
		"Cookie": "sessionid=f6324878b8b34dbb8f86f1a2aafe5a0a;",
	},
});

Thank you for the example. I wonder will it work for any user...

[zerodytrash]

And when user has many channels? He should authorize in the browser first, extract cookies and then put them to the call? For each channels separately?

you can connect to as many streams as you want using a single session id. you don't need the session id of the streamer. just use the session of a trash account in the backend.

[liessinoudjal]

it works for me too

[zerodytrash]

@OlegShklyarov if you scroll up you will see a complete example. without the ttwid cookie (TikTok websocket ID) the websocket connection will fail and request polling will be used.

[OlegShklyarov]

I just use this on a client side:

socket.connect(uniqueId, {
    requestHeaders: {
"Cookie": "sessionid=7877777773c2fedf3923ce3c4;",
},
enableWebsocketUpgrade:false,
requestPollingIntervalMs: 500,

For how long is the session valid?

[adierebel]

For how long is the session valid?

90 days

[OlegShklyarov]

And if I will relog on that browser, session will be terminated?

[zerodytrash]

And if I will relog on that browser, session will be terminated?

Simply remove the cookie from the browser and you will be able to log in again without revoking the previous cookie.

[diazndc]

I've been trying to get it to work, but solution presented by zerody don't seem to work for me. Here's a video I made of me retrieving the sessionid and ttwid and inserting it into websocketHeaders and requestHeaders.

It is also not upgrading to websocket. Any ideas?

[zerodytrash]

@diazndc the steps you take and the code looks correct to me. can you check if you have the latest version of the library installed? (v0.9.22)

[diazndc]

@diazndc the steps you take and the code looks correct to me. can you check if you have the latest version of the library >installed? (v0.9.22)

@zerodytrash Yes, this is a test project, freshly installed today with the latest version

[zerodytrash]

@diazndc try to delete all cookies from your browser. log in again. visit a livestream and then take the cookies.

It's been solved. thank you

[diazndc]

@diazndc try to delete all cookies from your browser. log in again. visit a livestream and then take the cookies.

I've tried that. Tried also in a incognito window. Tried clearing not only cookies, but session storage and local storage aswell. I'll post another video soon trying your latest recomendation. Just to make sure.

[tranvanduong2483]

Work for me, thanks @zerodytrash !

[diazndc]

@zerodytrash here's a new attempt recorded https://youtu.be/aBmTo9--xx4

Could it be that webcast is being asked for an "if it's a robot" challenge?

BTW i'm using Node v16.16.0 and a Mac. Should I change the user-agent to

user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0; Nexus 5 Build/MRA58N) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36

Edit:
So I updated my Mac from Big Sur to Monterey, still didnt work then, proceeded to deleted a bunch of stuff to make space to update xcode, started to update xcode. And all of the sudden without xcode finishing updating it works. Same sessionid and ttwid used, it just started working.

[zerodytrash]

@diazndc it probably works because i have released a new version v0.9.23.
In this version, a sessionid may no longer be required.
maybe someone can test and confirm this.

update command: npm i tiktok-live-connector

[diazndc]

@zerodytrash i still had 0.9.22 when it worked, now it stopped working again WebcastResponse.data.Buffer is always empty, again. I will update to the new version and see if it works

[linhnguyen9988]

@diazndc it still need sessionId but in 0.9.23 backend do it for you

[quang1412]

all events stopped working :(((
