Docker run User fails even if user exists

[Bringers]

I did the following docker command in powershell

docker run -v ${PWD}:/usr/app/files tiktok-scraper:latest user xqcdaily -d -n 5 -p

and got the following error output

- TikTok Scraper Started
Can't extract user metadata from the html page. Make sure that user does exist and try to use proxy

I made sure the "xqcdaily" user exists.
Not sure how to use a proxy with this, didn't find much in the documentation.
