## 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-keyword-search-60e8825b
```

Example prompt: Search TikTok for recent videos about 'AI productivity tools', sorted by relevance, and give me the first page of results — I want to see what's trending on the topic right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search TikTok by keyword and retrieve video results programmatically — especially when paginating through many results cost-efficiently using parentRequestId. Prefer this over general web scraping for TikTok-specific content discovery, trend monitoring, or brand mention tracking.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing query parameter returns an error
- Invalid cursor value causes a pagination failure
- Unsupported region code returns an error or empty results
- Rate limiting or TikTok-side blocks may return empty result sets
- Changing filter parameters mid-pagination starts a new billable request instead of continuing

## How this service works

Search by Keyword Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

A list of TikTok video results matching the keyword, including video metadata, creator info, engagement stats, and a cursor for fetching subsequent pages. Pagination continuation calls using the same query parameters and parentRequestId are billed at $0.
