I'm trying to download a TikTok video and I got this message: "this post is age-restricted, so i can't access it anonymously. try again or try a different link!"
That happened with that particular video. It works with other videos but this is the second time that I got this message.

If TikTok downloads are failing, you can try tkai.asia as an alternative - it extracts live stream sources for free, no watermark. Might help with your use case.
