## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## TikTok Trending Videos Scraper

![TikTok Trending Videos Scraper](https://i.ibb.co/8g4gcT8q/tiktok-trending-videos-banner.png)

**TikTok Trending Videos Scraper** extracts the trending TikTok videos ranked by TikTok Creative Center into clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. Paste a Creative Center trending videos URL for a country and period, and get the video link, caption, hashtags, views, engagement rate, 6-second view rate, and creator details for every video. No account or login required.

### Introduction

[TikTok Creative Center](https://ads.tiktok.com/creative/creativeCenter/trends) is TikTok's free inspiration hub for marketers and creators. Its Trends section ranks the best performing TikTok videos per country, so brands, agencies, and creators can see what content is winning right now.

This actor collects the same public rankings you see in your browser and turns them into a ready-to-use dataset. It reads the overall ranking plus the ranking of every content category (Beauty & Care, Fashion, Food & Beverage, Games, and more), so you get far more trending videos per country than the first screen shows. Run it once, schedule it daily to follow trends over time, or connect it to your own tools.

### What data can you extract from TikTok Creative Center?

- 🎬 Video URL, video ID, caption, hashtags, and posting date
- 🏆 Rank, country, period, sort metric, and content category of the ranking
- 👀 Video views and organic views, for the selected period and lifetime
- 📊 Engagement rate and 6-second view rate, for the selected period and lifetime
- 🖼️ Cover image and video file link
- 👤 Creator username, name, profile URL, bio, avatar, and follower count
- 💬 Top comments with likes, author, and date, plus the creator region (optional, United States ranking)

### Use Cases

- 📈 **Trend research**: see which videos, topics, and hashtags are taking off in the US, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, or Indonesia.
- 🎨 **Content inspiration**: study the captions, hooks, and formats of top videos in your category before you plan your own content.
- 🕵️ **Competitor and brand monitoring**: spot which brands and paid partnerships reach the top of the rankings.
- 🤝 **Influencer discovery**: find creators behind trending videos, with their follower counts and bios.
- 🤖 **AI and automation**: feed clean, structured trend data into spreadsheets, dashboards, or AI workflows.

### How to scrape TikTok trending videos step by step

1. Paste one or more TikTok Creative Center trending videos URLs into **Start URLs**, for example one per country.
2. Optionally choose **Sort by**, **Categories**, **Organic videos only**, and **Include top comments**.
3. Set **Max results** to how many videos you want per URL.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish, then download your data from the **Output** tab.

### Input

- **Start URLs**: TikTok Creative Center trending videos pages, such as `https://ads.tiktok.com/creative/creativeCenter/trends/video?region=US&period=30`. The `region` in the URL is the country (US, JP, VN, TH, or ID) and the `period` is 7 or 30 days, just like the country and period selectors on the website.
- **Sort by**: rank videos by video views, engagement rate, or 6-second view rate. Default: video views.
- **Categories**: content categories to rank, such as Beauty & Care, Fashion, Food & Beverage, Games, or Technology & Finance. The overall ranking always comes first. Leave empty to include every category.
- **Organic videos only**: rank only organic videos and leave out promoted views.
- **Include top comments**: add the top comments and the creator region to each video (United States ranking only). Runs are slower with this option.
- **Max results**: how many unique videos to collect for each start URL. Set 0 for no limit.

### Input Examples

Trending videos in the United States (last 30 days) and Japan (last 7 days):

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://ads.tiktok.com/creative/creativeCenter/trends/video?region=US&period=30" },
    { "url": "https://ads.tiktok.com/creative/creativeCenter/trends/video?region=JP&period=7" }
  ],
  "sortBy": "views",
  "organicOnly": false,
  "includeComments": false,
  "maxResults": 5
}
```

Top beauty and food videos in the US by engagement rate, with top comments:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://ads.tiktok.com/creative/creativeCenter/trends/video?region=US&period=30" }
  ],
  "sortBy": "engagementRate",
  "categories": ["11002", "11010"],
  "includeComments": true,
  "maxResults": 0
}
```

### Output

Each video is saved as one item in the dataset. Here is an example of a single item:

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.tiktok.com/@pavlinanavarro/video/7691476611505343758",
  "videoId": "7691476611505343758",
  "rank": 2,
  "country": "US",
  "countryName": "United States",
  "period": "Last 30 days",
  "sortBy": "Video views",
  "category": null,
  "organicOnly": false,
  "caption": "#ad #TargetPartner Target Circle Deal Days are almost here!! 🎯🛒 Come shop with us and see what fall deals we found...",
  "hashtags": ["ad", "TargetPartner", "TargetCircle", "TargetCircleDealDays", "TargetDeals"],
  "createdAt": "2026-09-30T23:37:47.000Z",
  "coverUrl": "https://p16-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...",

  "sixSecondsViewRate": 0.100156,
  "sixSecondsViewRateLifetime": 0.100156,
  "authorId": "7385247040990609451",
  "authorUsername": "pavlinanavarro",
  "authorName": "Pavlina",
  "authorUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@pavlinanavarro",
  "authorBio": "Fueled by coffee\nmidsize style | mom life | a little bit of chaos ✨",
  "authorAvatarUrl": "https://p16-common-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com/...",
  "authorFollowers": 64785,
  "trendsUrl": "https://ads.tiktok.com/creative/creativeCenter/trends/video?region=US&period=30",
  "authorRegion": "US",
  "topComments": [
    {
      "commentId": "7691553299557204766",
      "text": "I love target they are to best fall clothes 😍😍😍",
      "likes": 5,
      "authorName": "Adriana",
      "authorId": "6699829507086926853",
      "authorAvatarUrl": "https://p16-lemon8-sign-useast5.tiktokcdn-us.com/...",
      "createdAt": "2026-10-01T04:36:09.000Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

`authorRegion` and `topComments` are only added when **Include top comments** is on. You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML, or access it through the Apify API.

### Notes

- Trending video rankings are available for the United States, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. URLs for other countries, and pages other than trending videos, are skipped.
- Without a TikTok account, Creative Center shows the top 4 videos of each ranking. The actor combines the overall ranking with every category ranking, which usually gives about 40 to 60 unique videos per country, period, and sort order.
- Each video is saved once per start URL. `rank` is its position in the ranking it was found in, and `category` is that ranking's category (`null` for the overall ranking).
- Likes, shares, and comment counts are not part of the Creative Center rankings, so they are not included.
- Top comments are only available for the United States ranking. For other countries `topComments` is empty.
- Cover and video file links are temporary and expire after a few days. Use the video `url` as the permanent link.
- Some categories have no trending videos for a country or period; they are simply skipped.

### Why use the TikTok Trending Videos Scraper?

- 🔄 **Ready for automation**: schedule runs, export to Google Sheets, or connect to Make, Zapier, and n8n.

### FAQ

#### How many trending videos can I scrape?

Set any number in **Max results**, or 0 for no limit. The actor keeps going through the overall ranking and the category rankings until it reaches your limit or runs out of videos. See **Notes** for how many videos the rankings show.

#### Do I need a TikTok account?

No. The actor only collects publicly available data from TikTok Creative Center. You do not need to log in or provide any account details.

#### Can I track TikTok trends on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run the actor every day or week and build your own history of trending videos.

#### Why are some fields empty?

Some videos or creators do not show every piece of information, for example an empty bio. When a field is not available, it is returned as `null`.

#### Can I request a new feature or filter?

Yes. Right now the actor supports trending videos URLs with sort, category, and organic filters. If you need other inputs, get in touch and they can be added.

#### Can I get a custom or private version?

Yes. The actor can be customized for your workflow, delivered as a private version, or a new scraper can be built for a different website. Use the contact details below.
