Input
TikTok username without the leading @ (e.g. "stoolpresidente").
Pagination cursor from a previous response.
Deprecated; send `requireFields: ["nextCursor"]` instead, which does exactly the same thing. Set true if you intend to page through results, so the request is only served by a source that can return a nextCursor. Omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot page, a source that can serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. It stays accepted so callers that already send it keep working.
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `secUid` or `instagramUrl`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a profile that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only; later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.

Pricing
Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0008 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
