Scaling Your TikTok Data Pipeline Rate Limits and Architecture

Introduction

Moving from a local test script to a production application requires robustness. What happens when an API key expires? What if a URL is invalid?

This final guide covers the operational side of using the ZOCAILMINE API, focusing on error handling and key management as demonstrated in our SDK.

Concept: Defensive Programming

Your application should assume failure is possible. Our useTikTokApi.ts implements a state machine for status: 'pending' | 'loading' | 'success' | 'error'. This granular control allows the UI to react appropriately (e.g., showing a spinner, a success message, or a specific error toast).

Common Error Scenarios

Code Example: robust Error Handling

In the executeApi function, we prioritize specific error messages over generic ones:

try {
  // Validation before request
  if (!state.selectedApiKey) throw new Error("Please select an API Key");
  
  const option = requestOptions.find(o => o.value === state.form.type);
  if (!option) throw new Error("Invalid request type!");

  // ... execute axios request ...

} catch (err: any) {
  state.status = 'error';
  // Prioritize response message, then error message, then fallback
  state.error = err.response?.data?.message || err.message || "Unknown Error";
}
