Asia Trending Searches – Google Trends, Baidu & Douyin

What is Asia searching for right now? This Actor collects the live trending lists of Google Trends in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and 9 more regions, plus mainland China's Baidu hot search and Douyin (Chinese TikTok) hot list, in one run and one consistent format.

It also tells you which keywords are trending in several places at once (for example, the same topic rising in Hong Kong, Taiwan and on Baidu), which is usually the first sign that a story is going regional.

香港・台灣・日本・韓國的 Google 熱搜，加上百度熱搜和抖音熱榜，一次過拿到，格式統一。 香港・台湾・日本・韓国の Google 急上昇ワードと、百度・抖音のトレンドをまとめて取得できます。

Why use it

• One run, many markets. No need to combine separate scrapers for each country and platform.
• Same fields for every platform, ready for spreadsheets, dashboards or AI pipelines.
• Cross-market signal: alsoTrendingIn lists the other regions/platforms where the keyword is trending.
• Fast and light. Reads public trending feeds and pages directly (no browser), usually finishes in seconds.
• No login, no accounts. Public data only.

Use cases

• Content and social media teams planning posts around what is trending in Asian markets
• Marketers and e-commerce sellers spotting demand early in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan or China
• Media monitoring and newsletters that cover Asia
• Feeding daily trend data into dashboards or LLM summaries (schedule it daily on Apify)

}

Output

One dataset item per trending keyword:

{
  "platform": "Google Trends",
  "platformId": "google_trends",
  "region": "HK",
  "regionName": "Hong Kong",
  "rank": 1,
  "keyword": "颱風",
  "trafficLabel": "20K+",
  "trafficEstimate": 20000,
  "startedAt": "2026-10-30T22:00:00+00:00",
  "url": "https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=HK&q=%E9%A2%B1%E9%A2%A8",
  "imageUrl": "https://…",
  "news": [{ "title": "…", "url": "https://…", "source": "…" }],
  "alsoTrendingIn": ["TW · Google Trends", "CN · Baidu"],
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-31T00:05:12+00:00"
}

A SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists which sources succeeded or failed and the keywords trending in more than one place.

About the numbers: trafficEstimate is the platform's own indicator and is not comparable across platforms (Google shows approximate searches, Baidu and Douyin show their own heat score).

Pricing

Pay per result, no subscription:

	Price
Each trending keyword returned	$2.00 per 1,000 results ($0.002 each)
Each run	$0.002

A typical run with the default settings (5 Google regions + Baidu + Douyin) returns about 90 keywords, so it costs about $0.18 and finishes in a few seconds. Running it once a day costs about $5.50 a month. Platform usage is included in the price. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options if you want a hard limit.

Tips

• Schedule the Actor (for example every morning) and connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook.
• Google Trends lists change through the day; run several times a day if you track fast-moving news.

Limitations

• Google Trends' public feed returns about the top 10 keywords per region. Baidu and Douyin return up to maxItemsPerSource keywords (their boards hold about 50).
• Baidu and Douyin may occasionally refuse requests from some server locations. If one source fails, the run still returns the others and reports the failure in the log and SUMMARY.
• If a platform changes its page or feed, that source may stop working until the Actor is updated.

Data and compliance

The Actor reads only publicly available trending lists, without logging in, and does not collect personal data. You are responsible for using the results in line with the source platforms' terms and the laws that apply to you.
