Few records brought by the scrapper compared to before

In the actor's last runs, 3k records were observed as a result, however, in April of this year, we had at least 15k results. As can be seen, the decrease in scraped data is significant. For the above, your support in reviewing or explaining this reduction because the actor settings and parameters did not change. Thank you very much!

Hi LLYC, thanks for opening this issue!

Yeah, this is an ongoing recent issue caused by blocking from TikTok's side. Currently, it's not even possible to get more than 6 results without being logged with just a browser, so compared to that our method is much better.

Although while testing this I was able to find a way to get a bit more results than what we currently get. Also, there is some development work done on a completely new method to get the results, which looks to be very promising.

I will keep you updated here, thanks!

Hi Lukas, Thank you for your response. I look forward to the new method to get the results.

Hi again, thanks for your patience!

Sorry, we've missed this issue after fixing the issue a while ago, although you've probably already figured that out :) We've improved the number of results scraped for both regular and hashtag search. Though the number of results are nowhere near their prime, the counts that we are able to get now are better than the low before. Ultimately it's still just a fight between us and TikToks anti-scraping measures and blocking.

I hope this helps, thanks and happy scraping!
