Tips for Best Results

• Use specific keywords for more targeted results (e.g., "vegan meal prep" instead of "food").
• Residential proxies are recommended since TikTok actively blocks datacenter IPs.
• Start with a small maxItems value to test before running large scrapes.
• Free tier is limited to 20 results per run. Subscribe to unlock unlimited scraping.
