What it returns

Keyword search over TikTok videos. Takes a search query via ?query= and returns the { data, request_id } envelope with cursor pagination metadata in meta. Each call costs 4 credits per result returned — check the X-Credits-Charged and X-Credits-Remaining response headers. Cached responses cost the same and set x-cache: hit; add fresh=true to bypass the cache.
