TikTok Trends API - Product Research & Content Ideas

Find live TikTok trends for product research, ecommerce research, content ideas, trend discovery, marketing intelligence, automation workflows, APIs, and AI agents.

This TikTok trends API goes beyond a raw TikTok trends scraper. It turns current hashtag trend data into ranked commercial opportunities using momentum, commercial relevance, engagement quality, freshness, and saturation risk, so automated systems can identify stronger product and content opportunities without manual research.

What you get

Each paid result is a decision-ready opportunity containing the trend, source provenance, component scores, 0-100 opportunity score, band, evidence-backed rationale, and optional content/product angles.

The score is a relative commercial opportunity ranking. It is not a probability, revenue forecast, or guarantee that a trend will convert.

Minimal input

{
  "country": "US",
  "industry": "beauty",
  "maxInsights": 25
}

Optional controls let you raise the minimum score, lower the maximum result count, disable content/product angles, and cap upstream source spend.

Commercial scoring

P003 combines five transparent components:

• 35% momentum — source rank, audience scale, and velocity where available
• 25% commercial relevance — relationship between the trend and your selected industry
• 15% engagement quality — engagement rate or interaction density
• 15% freshness — newer signals score higher
• 10% inverse saturation — mature/overexposed signals are penalized

Bands: A 80-100, B 65-79, C 55-64. Lower-scoring signals are filtered by default.

Pay Per Event

Configure Apify Pay Per Event with:

• event: trend-opportunity
• launch price: US$0.05 per delivered opportunity
• display equivalent: US$50 / 1,000 trend opportunities

The Actor charges trend-opportunity immediately before each qualified dataset result. Filtered and malformed source records are not charged.

Do not add a separate paid apify-default-dataset-item event or the same delivered insight can be charged twice.

Margin protection

P003 estimates upstream source volume before calling the trend provider and caps it against upstreamSpendGuardUsd. If the configured guard cannot afford one estimated raw source result, the run returns no paid results rather than exceed the guard.

Designed for automated demand

This Actor is designed for TikTok trends, trend intelligence, product research, content ideas, ecommerce research, AI agents, marketing intelligence, APIs, MCP workflows, and automated data products. It requires no manual client fulfilment.

Source strategy

V1 uses data_xplorer/tiktok-trends through an isolated adapter. Upstream pricing and schema can change, so live launch economics must be verified before Store publication and periodically rechecked after material source changes.
