Post not available (status )

Error message

Post not available (status {})

What it means

When the video-detail payload's statusCode field is present and non-zero, fetch_detail reports the post as unavailable with the numeric code. Zero means success; any other value is TikTok signaling a failure condition for the item.

Solutions

  1. Map known TikTok statusCodes to user-friendly messages
  2. Check statusMsg first — it often explains the statusCode
  3. Inform the user the specific post cannot be fetched and why (if code is known)
  4. Update the status-code mapping if TikTok introduces new codes

Example fix

// before
if status_code != 0 {
    return Err(anyhow!("Post not available (status {})", status_code));
}
// after
if status_code != 0 {
    return Err(anyhow!("Post not available (status {}: {})", status_code, describe_tiktok_status(status_code)));
}
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Try / catch

match get_media_info(url).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("Post not available (status") => {
        let code = extract_status_code(&e);
        handle_known_status(code)
    }
    other => other,
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: The webapp.video-detail JSON contains statusCode != 0 (e.g. 10216 private video, 10202/10204 deleted or blocked content) even though the page and JSON parsed fine.

Common situations: Private/friends-only videos, deleted posts, age- or region-restricted content, or TikTok API-level rejections surfaced inside an otherwise normal page.
