TikTok Search Suggestions

GET https://scrappa.co/api/tiktok/search/suggestions?query=cat

Get the search suggestions TikTok shows while a user types a query. Each item has the suggestion text, group ID, language and recall reason. Matching creator accounts come as items of type user. Suggestions follow the region of the request, so results can differ between calls. An empty list is a valid answer. Costs 1 credit per request. Failed requests are free.
