Douyin Hot Search Tracker (抖音热搜)

Track what China is watching. This actor pulls Douyin's trending search board — the ranked list of hot search terms surfaced in the Douyin app and website — with each term's hot value, rank label, video count, and a stable id, so you can build a Chinese social-trend time-series without an account or the app.

Douyin is China's TikTok (same parent, ByteDance) with ~750M daily users. Its hot-search board is a real-time pulse of Chinese consumer attention — culture, sports, news, brands, memes. Almost no tool exposes it in clean JSON. This one does.

Who it's for

  • Trend & culture researchers — quantify what's rising in China, hour by hour.
  • Brand & social teams — catch trending topics and hashtags early for content.
  • Investors & analysts — track attention around companies, products, events.
  • Data teams — schedule it and append rows to a trend database.

Scheduling & webhooks

Schedule the actor (Apify Schedules) hourly or daily and each run appends a timestamped snapshot to the dataset — a ready-made trend time-series. Attach a webhook to push new snapshots into your own database or a Google Sheet.

Use with AI / MCP

The dataset is clean JSON, ideal as a tool for an AI agent tracking Chinese social trends. Point your MCP-enabled assistant at the actor's dataset, or call the actor from the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need a Douyin account? No. The board is public; the actor bootstraps its own anonymous session.

How fresh is the data? Live at run time — it reads the same board the app shows. Schedule it for a continuous series.

How many terms per run? The board returns roughly 50 terms; maxItems caps the total (board + suggestions).

Is this legal? The actor reads publicly visible trending data. You are responsible for using the output in line with Douyin's terms and your local laws.

Reliability? The hot-search endpoint is unsigned and stable; the actor also works without a proxy, and retries transient blocks.
