🔥 TikTok Trending Videos Scraper: Explore Feed by Country (No Login)

Export the videos TikTok is pushing right now on its Explore page, for any country and any of its 21 categories: views, likes, comments, shares, saves, engagement rate, hashtags, the sound, and the creator with follower count. No account, no cookies, no browser. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

Price: $0.80 per 1,000 videos on the Free plan, $0.75 on Bronze, $0.70 on Silver, $0.65 from Gold up, plus $0.00005 per run start. A feed TikTok does not answer costs nothing. (Until 8 November 2026 this Store slot still carries its previous price of $2.50 per 1,000 rows on Free; the new price applies automatically from that day.)

🔎 What is the TikTok Trending Videos Scraper?

It reads TikTok's own Explore feed, the list behind tiktok.com/explore, the way a visitor in the chosen country sees it. Each country is read through an address in that country, so a Japan run returns what people in Japan are shown (in our tests 97 of 120 Japanese videos had Japanese captions; a Brazil feed was mostly Portuguese).

It does not use TikTok's Creative Center. That matters, because Creative Center trend tools have had a hard year: visitors now get only the top 3 hashtags per country there, and its trending-videos list went empty for some Actors in August 2026.

What users report on other trend Actors	What this Actor does
"Returns only 3 hashtags per country"	Hashtags, sounds and creators are counted from the real feed, as many as the videos you read
"trendType=videos returns 0 items"	Videos come from the Explore feed, not the Creative Center
"Video URLs missing"	Every row has the video link, built from the creator's @name and the video id
Run-start fees of $0.005 to $0.05	$0.00005 per start; you pay per saved video

What data does it extract?

• Video: link, id, caption, posting time, caption language, length, cover image, ad flag
• Statistics: exact views, likes, comments, shares and saves, plus an engagement rate
• Hashtags in the caption
• Sound: id, title, author, whether it is the creator's original sound, link of the sound page
• Creator: @name, display name, user id, secUid, verified badge, followers, total likes, number of videos
• Context: country, Explore category, and the position in which TikTok handed the video out

⬇️ Input

Field	Type	Description
countries	array of strings	Two-letter country codes (US, GB, DE, JP, BR, ...). Default ["US"]
categories	array of strings	Explore categories: All, Singing & Dancing, Comedy, Sports, Anime & Comics, Relationship, Shows, Lipsync, Daily Life, Beauty Care, Games, Society, Outfit, Cars, Food, Animals, Family, Drama, Fitness & Health, Education, Technology. Default ["All"]
maxVideosPerFeed	integer	Different videos to collect per country and category, 1 to 2,000. Default 30

One feed is one country with one category, so ["US", "GB"] with ["Comedy", "Food"] reads four feeds.

Example input

{
  "countries": ["US", "GB", "JP"],
  "categories": ["All", "Food"],
  "maxVideosPerFeed": 100

The run's key-value store also gets a free TRENDS record: for every feed, the sounds, hashtags and creators that appear in more than one of the videos read, with how many videos and how many views they account for. Read 200 or more videos per feed for that list to say much.

💡 Use cases

• 🎵 Sound and music scouting: see which sounds keep appearing in a country's trending videos before they peak.
• 📈 Content research: find formats, hooks and hashtags that work in your category this week.
• 🤝 Influencer discovery: creators with follower counts and links, straight from the feed TikTok promotes.
• 🌍 Market comparison: run the same category in five countries on a schedule and compare what travels.

🤖 For AI agents

Copy this input; all fields are optional and no credential is needed:

{"countries": ["US"], "categories": ["All"], "maxVideosPerFeed": 30}

⚠️ Limits, stated plainly

• The feed has no end and no fixed order. TikTok hands out about 25 new videos per request and keeps going; the rank is the order of this run, not an official chart. Two runs a minute apart share some videos and differ in others.
• Duplicates across feeds are kept. A video can trend in "All" and in "Comedy"; within one feed every video appears once.
• Explore is not the For You feed of a logged-in user, and it is not TikTok search. Videos are mostly from the last weeks; older viral videos also appear.
• Cover links expire after a few days (TikTok signs them). Video and sound links do not.
• A country is read through a residential address there. If none is available, the feed is read from the server's own address and follows that country instead.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a TikTok account or cookies? No. The Actor reads what TikTok shows any visitor.

How fast is it? On Apify: the default run (30 US videos) takes about 8 seconds, 900 videos from six feeds (US, GB, JP; All and Food) 48 seconds, 2,000 videos of one feed 72 seconds.

Which countries work? Any country where Apify has residential addresses; tested with US, JP and BR.

How do I get more than 2,000 videos per feed? Schedule the run (for example every hour) and merge the datasets; each run hands out new videos.

Why is a hashtag list short? The TRENDS record lists only what appears at least twice in the videos read. Read more videos per feed.

Can I filter by views? Not in the input; filter the dataset by play_count after the run.

What is not charged? Feeds TikTok does not answer, run time, and the TRENDS record.

Is it legal? It reads public data TikTok shows to visitors without logging in. Creator profiles are public accounts; still treat names and handles as personal data under GDPR and similar laws, use them for research or outreach that the law allows, and respect TikTok's terms and CAN-SPAM when you contact anyone.
