How to Use
Start with a creator username list and produce records ready for a directory or CRM.
- Normalize creator-list entries such as nasa and @nasa, then deduplicate them.
- POST the usernames array to /v1/tiktok/profiles and save the returned task_id.
- Poll /v1/tasks/{task_id}. queued and running are normal intermediate states.
- Read data.results.items after success. When has_more is true, continue with next_cursor.

-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCQ_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"usernames":["nasa","@tiktok"]}'
