## 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 scrape-creators-tiktok-keyword-search-0a1edf46
```

Example prompt: Search TikTok for videos about 'sustainable fashion' and show me what comes up.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically search TikTok for content by keyword — ideal for trend research, competitive analysis, content discovery, or monitoring what TikTok content exists around a topic. Prefer this over Instagram or YouTube search endpoints when the target platform is specifically TikTok.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty keyword returns no results
- TikTok rate limiting or blocking may cause scrape failures
- Keyword with no TikTok results returns empty result set
- Network timeout if TikTok's servers are slow to respond
- Authentication or API key errors returning 401/403

## How this service works

Search by Keyword Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a list of TikTok search results matching the keyword, likely including video metadata such as titles, creator handles, view counts, like counts, and video URLs for content matching the queried term.
