Watch out for

RapidAPI free tiers often have strict rate limits so add a delay between requests to avoid being blocked during large batches.
TikTok URLs can vary in format including short links so implement URL expansion logic before extracting the video ID.
The API might return HTML entities or special characters so ensure your code cleans these to prevent sheet formatting errors.
Google Sheets has a row limit for single triggers so split large datasets into smaller chunks to avoid timeout failures.
