## 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-user-search-52394994 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search TikTok for users related to 'sustainable fashion' and show me the first page of results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover or enumerate TikTok user accounts by keyword, name, or topic and want cost-efficient pagination where only the first page incurs a charge. It is ideal for influencer discovery, brand research, and audience analysis workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if the query matches no TikTok users
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC funds are insufficient
- Invalid or expired nextPageToken returning an error
- Changing query parameters mid-pagination treated as a new billable request
- Network timeout from TikTok's underlying API

## How this service works

Searches TikTok users by query. 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

Returns a list of TikTok user profiles matching the search query, along with a pagination token for fetching subsequent pages. The billing system provides a requestId on the first call; subsequent paginated calls passing parentRequestId are not billed again as long as the core query parameters remain unchanged.
