## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured public creator profile data from TikTok or Instagram by handle, with control over data freshness (live, 24h, or 7d). It is well-suited for influencer research, creator vetting, or enriching records with current social profile details. Prefer it over scraping raw platform pages when you want a normalized, machine-readable response with provenance and cache metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or nonexistent handle returns an error or empty data
- Unsupported platform value (only 'tiktok' and 'instagram' are valid) causes a validation error
- Rate limits or upstream platform unavailability may cause failures
- Stale cache when freshness='live' fails to return real-time data
- Missing required query parameters (platform or target) returns a schema validation error

## How this service works

Fetch a current public creator profile.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with success status, the platform name, provider ('machine.market'), the profile type, freshness metadata (whether the result was cached and the ISO 8601 timestamp it was observed), and a free-form data object containing the creator's public profile fields as returned by the platform adapter.
