This is most likely being caused by a rate limiting on TikTok's server. Issue #88 had a similar problem, not the same but it was similar with the response a server would send.

I had the same issue. I read issue #88. I modified the code as follows:
######################
import time

from TikTokApi import TikTokApi
api = TikTokApi()
count = 10
tiktoks = api.byUsername('therock', count=count)

for tiktok in tiktoks:
print(tiktok)
time.sleep(30)**
#######################
However, it doesn't solve the problem. Please help!
