## 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-data-extractor-apify-clockworks-free-tiktok-scraper-ba5d5324 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the full TikTok profile for @charlidamelio — I want her total likes, follower count, nickname, and her last 50 posts with comment counts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured TikTok profile or hashtag data at scale via a managed cloud actor, especially when you want to avoid maintaining your own scraper infrastructure. Prefer this over manual scraping or other social media APIs when TikTok-specific data (nicknames, total likes, video metadata) is needed and a small per-call cost is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- TikTok rate limiting or anti-bot measures causing empty or partial results
- Invalid or private username/hashtag returning no data
- Actor timeout on very large profiles with thousands of posts
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocking execution
- Stale or deleted TikTok content returning 404-equivalent empty records
