## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-direct-tiktok-video-lookup-5c8ccd93
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the TikTok video at https://www.tiktok.com/@charlidamelio/video/7516594811734854943 and tell me its title, creator, view count, and engagement stats?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need detailed metadata for a specific, known TikTok video and already have the URL or numeric video ID. It is ideal for single-video lookups, content verification, engagement analysis, or enriching a dataset with video-level details. Prefer this over search-based endpoints when the exact video is already identified.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-TikTok URL returns a validation error
- Video not found (deleted or private) returns a 404-style error
- Providing both url and video_id simultaneously may cause an error — only one should be provided
- video_id containing non-digit characters or all zeros is rejected
- URL exceeding 500 characters is rejected
- Rate limiting or payment failure may return a 402 error
