## 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-transcript-55865347
```

Example prompt: Can you get me the spoken transcript of this TikTok video — https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890 — and use the AI fallback if a regular transcript isn't available?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the spoken text content of a TikTok video and have the video URL. It is the right choice for accessibility use cases, content analysis, summarization pipelines, or compliance monitoring involving TikTok. Prefer enabling the AI fallback when transcripts are not guaranteed to be natively available. Choose the LinkedIn video transcript sibling endpoint for LinkedIn videos instead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-TikTok URL returns a validation error
- Private or deleted TikTok videos cannot be fetched and return a not-found or access error
- No transcript available and AI fallback not enabled returns an empty or error response
- Unsupported language code results in fallback to default language or error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error
- Malformed URL (not starting with https://) is rejected by schema validation

## How this service works

Get the spoken transcript for a TikTok video by URL.

## Output

Returns the spoken transcript text of the specified TikTok video. When a native transcript is available it is returned directly; if the AI fallback is enabled and no native transcript exists, an AI-generated transcription is returned instead. The response includes the transcript content as structured text.
