## 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-clockworks-free-tiktok-scraper-via-stableapify-438d568d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scrape the TikTok profile for username 'sarptecimer' — I need their posts, total likes, nickname, and comment counts, up to 100 items with 1024 MB memory.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to scrape TikTok user profiles, posts, or hashtag content at scale via a managed actor infrastructure without managing your own scraping setup. Prefer it over manual scraping or other TikTok APIs when you need structured data including likes, comments, nicknames, and video metadata in a pay-per-call model. Use the companion dataset-fetch endpoint afterward to retrieve actual scraped items using the returned token and dataset ID.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent TikTok username returns empty dataset
- TikTok rate limiting or anti-bot measures may cause partial results
- Insufficient memory allocation causes actor run failure
- Actor run may remain in READY/RUNNING state longer than expected for large profiles
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Token expiry (JWT) if dataset is not fetched within the validity window
