TikTok API endpoint

TikTok Explore Feed API

Returns the TikTok explore feed for a category, given its category type `id` from the category endpoint. The response has `itemList` with the videos, `hasMore` and a `cursor`. A feed that comes back empty is reported as an upstream error, not as an empty list.

API path: /tiktok/explore/{id}

How this endpoint behaves

Path parameters:

id: required. Category type id returned by the category endpoint.

Notable response behavior:

A successful response contains a non-empty data.itemList.
If TikTok returns status success with an empty or null itemList, the service retries through the signer browser fallback and then returns an upstream error if the fallback is also empty.
