Getting back to you @kartikloops @loading-SQK9K
I fixed this with the following
1. pulled the repo
2. copied the changes from the https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/pull/1514
3. rebuild docker image
4. patched docker compose to use my own image
So, If tiktok fails to download next time, just update user agent for the tiktok processor
