Use this when you need ScrapeCreators TikTok data from GET /v1/tiktok/search/top for Top Search. Searches TikTok's 'Top' results by query — returns both videos and photo carousels, unlike keyword search which only returns videos. Returns items, an array of objects each with id, desc (caption), content_type (video or photo carousel), statistics (play_count, digg_count/likes, comment_count, share_count), video info, and images for carousels. Paginate with cursor. TikTok may return duplicate results. Returns the ScrapeCreators response in the standard MCP envelope with ok/data/error/meta. This is read-only. Requires the portal grant header and a ScrapeCreators BYOK API key.
