## 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 socialfetch-tiktok-video-lookup-f92102ec
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the details and transcript for this TikTok video: https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890 — I also want the download link if available.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata, download links, or a transcript for a specific TikTok video identified by URL. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you need reliable, structured TikTok data with optional media hosting and transcript support in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent TikTok URL returns an error response
- TikTok video is private or deleted — no data returned
- Transcript unavailable for the video — `transcript` field absent even with getTranscript=true
- downloadMedia incurs additional 10 credits even if downloads array is empty
- Region routing issues may cause intermittent failures for geo-restricted content
- Payment failure (x402) if insufficient USDC balance

## How this service works

Get a single TikTok video by URL.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing TikTok video metadata (author, description, stats, etc.), and optionally hosted CDN download URLs in a `downloads` field and a WEBVTT transcript in a `transcript` field, depending on the flags passed.
