Get the autocomplete suggestions Douyin's search box shows for a keyword, in Douyin's order, with rank from 1. Up to 10 per call; Douyin usually offers about five, and there is no paging. Suggestions carry no search volume.

Price $8 per 1,000 requests ($0.008 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Douyin Search suggestions endpoint (douyin/search_suggest).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to douyin and action to search_suggest, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: The text typed into Douyin's search box, such as artificial intelligence; the suggestions come back in Douyin's order.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 10. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 10)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: rank (Position from 1: the trending rank on t…), keyword (Keyword: the trending phrase on trendin…).
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "douyin",
  "action": "search_suggest",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "美食"
  }
}
- Price: $8 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.
