new tt_slideshow_hidden() collects metadata, images and music of slideshows (photo posts), for which TikTok does not include data in the page source. It opens each post in a headless browser (needs the chromote package) and captures the post data the site requests itself (#23).
tt_videos_hidden() (and tt_videos()) now recognise slideshows among the URLs and gained the argument slideshows: after all other posts are collected, it asks whether to collect the slideshows with tt_slideshow_hidden() ("ask", the default in interactive sessions), does so directly (TRUE) or leaves their rows empty with a warning (FALSE). Slideshow rows are marked with is_slides = TRUE either way.
fixed tt_search_hidden() failing to set cookies in the browser session with recent versions of cookiemonster.
after a captcha is solved manually, the updated cookies are now stored, so that later requests are less likely to hit another captcha.
tt_search_api() no longer limits searches to 30 days: longer time spans are automatically split into consecutive 30 day windows (the maximum the API allows per request) and the results are combined. max_pages applies per window. The returned object (and last_query()) now also carries start_date and end_date attributes of the last queried window, so that interrupted searches can be picked back up. tt_user_videos_api() uses this internally now.
last_query() now always attaches the search_id and cursor attributes (previously they were dropped when the cached videos could be parsed).
the cursor attribute of tt_search_api() results now reflects the last page received (it was one page behind when max_pages > 1).
