Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

It's built for marketers, content creators, agencies, and researchers tracking what resonates on TikTok. ### ⚡ Quick start ```json { "countryCode": "FR", "period": "7", "industry": "23000000000", "maxItems": 100, "cookies": [{ "name": "sessionid", "value": "" }] } ```` > **Session cookies (optional but recommended):** Without an authenticated session, only the top 3 trending hashtags are returned. To scrape the full list, provide your exported TikTok Creative Center session cookies. Cookies expire periodically — when a run reports an invalid or expired session, re-export and update them. > > **How to obtain your cookies:** > > 1. Install the [**Cookie-Editor** Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm). > 2. Log in at [TikTok Creative Center](https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/inspiration/popular/hashtag/pc/en). > 3. Open the **Cookie-Editor** extension and **export your cookies** in **JSON format**. > 4. Paste the exported cookie data into the **Session Cookies** input field. ### 🧩 Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `countryCode` | string | yes | `US` | ISO country code to scrape trending hashtags for (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `TR`). | | `period` | string | yes | `7` | Time window in days: `7`, `30`, or `120`. | | `industry` | string | no | — | Industry ID to filter hashtags (e.g. `23000000000` for News Entertainment). | | `maxItems` | integer | no | `10` | Maximum hashtags to scrape (TikTok caps results at 100 per search). | | `cookies` | array | string | no | — | Exported TikTok session cookies (Cookie-Editor JSON). Unlocks the full list. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | no | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Apify proxy settings. | ### 📤 Output Each scraped hashtag is pushed to the dataset as one record. #### Fields Each record contains the hashtag data plus the query context (`countryCode`, `period`) and a direct `url`. | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `hashtagId` | string | Unique hashtag identifier. | | `hashtagName` | string | Hashtag name. | | `industryIds` | array | Industry category IDs the hashtag belongs to. | | `rank` | number | Popularity rank of the hashtag. | | `publishCount` | number | Number of public posts using the hashtag. | | `videoViews` | number | Total views of videos using the hashtag. | | `popularityCurve` | array | Popularity over time (`{ timestamp, popularity }` points; `popularity` is a 0–100 index). | | `topCreators` | array | Top creators (`creatorId`, `tiktokUserId`, `handle`, `nickname`, `avatarUrl`, `countryCode`, `rank`, `followerCount`). | | `countryCode` | string | Country code used for the query. | | `period` | string | Time window used for the query. | | `url` | string | null | Direct link to the hashtag on TikTok. |
