## 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 tiktok-comments-scraper-clockworks-tiktok-comments-scraper-via-f67d634a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape all the comments from this TikTok video — https://www.tiktok.com/@sarptecimer/video/123456789 — and give me up to 100 comments with engagement stats like shares, hearts, and hashtags.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured comment-level data from TikTok including engagement metrics (shares, hearts, hashtags, follower counts) rather than just post metadata. It is best for social listening, influencer vetting, sentiment analysis, and audience research workflows where raw comment text and interaction counts from TikTok are required. Prefer this over general web scrapers when you need TikTok-specific data fields parsed and normalized by an actor purpose-built for TikTok's structure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private TikTok URL returns an error or empty dataset
- TikTok rate limiting or anti-bot measures may cause partial or failed scrapes
- Actor run starts but times out if maxItems is too large or memory too low
- Invalid username format causes actor to fail during input validation
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Run enters FAILED status if TikTok changes its page structure

## Output

Returns an Apify actor run object with a run ID, status (READY), actor ID, start timestamp, default dataset ID where results will be stored, and a JWT token for polling the run. The actual scraped comments and engagement data (comment text, URLs, shares, followers, hashtags, hearts, video metadata) are stored in the referenced Apify dataset and must be fetched separately once the run completes.
