Grabbing and setting up sessionid_ss and/or tt_target_idc

To fix issues related to WAFChallengeError, HLSLinkNotFoundError, and StreamDataNotFoundError, you can supply a value to tt_target_idc in the config file. If it doesn't work, try to supply both sessionid_ss and tt_target_idc.

To grab these values, do the following:

  1. In your browser, go to https://tiktok.com and login your account.
  2. Open Inspect Element in your browser.
  3. Go to Cookies section:
    • For Google Chrome users, click the Application. If you can't see it, click the >>.
    • For Firefox users, click the Storage. If you can't see it, click the >>.
  4. On Cookies dropdown, click the https://tiktok.com.
  5. On the right hand side, find the sessionid_ss, as well as the tt-target-idc.
  6. Get those values and paste it in your config file located in your user data folder.
  7. Your config should look like this. 
    [config]
sessionid_ss = "0124124abcdeuj214124mfncb23tgejf"  # Include this if only supplying tt-target-idc doesn't work
tt_target_idc = "alisg"
  8. Save it.
