## 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-profile-lookup-by-handle-3e68ce84 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the TikTok profile for @charlidamelio — I want to see their follower count, bio, and any other public account details?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured TikTok profile data for a specific known handle, such as for influencer research, brand monitoring, or creator outreach workflows. It is preferable when you already know the TikTok username and need public profile metadata quickly without scraping manually. Use the sibling 'User Posts' or 'Followers' endpoints if you also need post history or follower details.

## Known failure modes

- Handle not found — returns error if the TikTok account does not exist or has been deleted
- Private or banned account — profile may be inaccessible if account is private or suspended
- Invalid handle format — malformed input may result in a validation error
- TikTok API rate limiting — may return errors during high-traffic periods
- Payment failure — x402 payment not accepted results in 402 response before data is returned
