TikTok Trend Scout

Spot TikTok trends before they peak. Trending sounds, hashtags, formats, and viral patterns — catch the wave before it crashes.

By the time TikTok's trending page shows it, the trend is dying. This actor catches trends 48-72 hours earlier by analyzing sound adoption, hashtag velocity, format patterns, and creator velocity. You'll have content out when the moment is at peak potential, not when everyone else is already jumping on it.

Key Fields Explained:

• days_to_saturation: When this trend becomes overused. You want to post 2-3 days BEFORE saturation hits.
• posting_recommendation: "POST_NOW" = do it today. "MONITOR_CLOSELY" = wait for more signals. "TOO_LATE" = skip it.
