Post not available

Error message

Post not available: {}

What it means

TikTok's video-detail payload includes a non-empty statusMsg, which the library interprets as 'this post cannot be shown' and surfaces verbatim. This is TikTok's own status message (e.g. 'Video currently unavailable', removal notice) wrapped in this error.

Solutions

1. Read the included statusMsg — it states why TikTok won't serve the post (deleted, private, banned).
2. Confirm in a browser that the URL still resolves to a playable video.
3. If the post exists but is region-blocked, retry via a proxy in an allowed region.
4. Handle this as a permanent user-facing condition rather than retrying blindly.

match tiktok.get_media_info(url).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().starts_with("Post not available:") => {
        // surface statusMsg to the user; do not retry
    }
    other => { other?; }
}

When it happens

Trigger: fetch_detail finds video_detail.statusMsg as a non-empty string after a successful parse and key lookup, and immediately returns Post not available: {statusMsg}.

Common situations: The video was deleted by its author; the account was banned or made private; TikTok removed the video for ToS violations; region-blocked content returning a status message instead of data.
