# ================================================================
# Here is the path of the video that you want to upload in tiktok.
# Plese edit the path because this is different to everyone.
upload(r"C:\Users\redi\Videos\your-video-here.mov")
# ================================================================

Anyone have a workaround the Tiktok block?

While attempting to login, re-login or creating an account TikTok platform may even wrongly identify you as a bot or spam and for the next 5 minutes or so, you may keep getting the Too many attempts. Try again later. error message when trying to sign in to TikTok as follows.

To avoid getting detected as a bot you can use your default user login profile and you can use the following solution:

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")

# Chrome is controlled by automated test software
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)

# avoiding detection
options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')

# Default User Profile
options.add_argument("--profile-directory=Default")
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data")

bot = webdriver.Chrome(options=options,  executable_path=CM().install())
bot.get('https://www.tiktok.com/login')
