TikTok Similar API
Scrape TikTok Similar data with one API call. Returns TikTok accounts similar to a given creator: the related accounts TikTok itself suggests for that profile, typically about 30. Each account includes the username, display name, avatar, profile URL, bio, verification status, whether it is private, and its follower, following, video and like counts, so no second lookup is needed to size or qualify a lookalike. Pass `handle`. The list is specific to the seed: a chef returns other chefs and food creators, a dancer returns other dancers. To go wider, call it again with any returned username as the next `handle`. Cost: 5 credits a call. A creator with no suggestions returns an empty list and is refunded, and a handle TikTok does not know is a 404 at no cost. Time: about 5 to 10 seconds on a fresh call, and a repeat within the cache window is 0 credits. The list is a single fixed window: it is not paginated and returns no cursor. author.location is not published on this surface and is null on every row; `GET /v1/tiktok/profile` returns the region for any single account.

Returns the accounts TikTok suggests as similar to a creator, about 30, each with username, bio, verification, and follower, video and like counts.
Use it to find lookalike creators for one you already know; it returns a single fixed list, so call it again on a result to go wider.
