2. Use specific keywords - More specific search terms yield more relevant results
3. Check account privacy - Private accounts will return limited data
4. Handle rate limits - Space out multiple requests to avoid temporary blocks

Limitations

• Results depend on TikTok's availability and may vary
• Some accounts may be private and return limited information
• Very high-volume requests may experience rate limiting
• Video download URLs expire after a short period
