TikTok Profile & Creator Lead Scraper (2026) — Zero-Proxy, 256MB & MCP Ready

Scrape TikTok creator profiles, follower counts, total likes, bio text, clickable bioLink, TikTok Shop seller status (ttSeller), extracted business emails (from bio + external bioLink landing pages), and latest posts with decoded spoken transcripts (transcriptText) — without residential proxies or heavy browser automation.

Engineered as a drop-in, zero-limit upgrade to clockworks/tiktok-profile-scraper and abe/tiktok-profile-scraper, running in a 256 MB RAM Node.js container with 3-tier fallback (/@{handle} hydration → /embed/@{handle} feed → X-Bogus signed search recovery).
