## Edge Cases

- **No location URL**: This actor requires a TikTok location page URL, not a city name. Ask user to navigate to TikTok > search the location > copy the URL.
- **Low results**: Some locations have few tagged posts — return what's available.
- **Private videos**: Excluded automatically.
- **Deleted location**: Returns empty. URL may be stale.
