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.
