## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-portalsprotocol-com-b314d28e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search TikTok for videos and creators about 'sustainable fashion' — I want to see what content and hashtags are trending around that topic.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic access to TikTok search results — videos, users, or hashtags — without maintaining a TikTok developer account or managing OAuth. Prefer this over manual scraping or direct TikTok API access when you need a pay-per-call model with no subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing search query returns 400 error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance returns 402
- TikTok rate limiting or availability issues may cause 503 or timeout
- Empty results returned for obscure or restricted keywords
- Region-restricted content may not appear in results

## Output

A list of TikTok search results which may include videos (with titles, view counts, author info, URLs), user profiles (username, follower count, bio), and/or hashtags (name, usage count), depending on the search type requested.
