Kuaishou Trending Topics Scraper

Pull the Kuaishou hot board (快手热榜) as structured data. Each run returns the platform's current trending topics ranked by hot value, with the view count behind each topic and a direct Kuaishou search link so you can open the related videos instantly.

Unofficial / independent tool. This Actor is not affiliated with, authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by Kuaishou. It retrieves publicly available data through a third-party API. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with Kuaishou's terms and all applicable laws.

What this Actor does

This Actor focuses on one job: fetch the kuaishou hot board (trending topics with hot value and view counts) on kuaishou.com. Kuaishou skews toward lower-tier-city and rural audiences in China, so its hot board surfaces trends that often differ from the metro-centric platforms.

• Returns the live Kuaishou hot board ranked by hot value.
• Includes the view count associated with each trending topic.
• Generates a Kuaishou video-search link for every keyword.
• Exposes a stable topic id for de-duplication across snapshots.

Input

Field	Type	Description
maxItems	integer	Maximum records to return (caps your spend).
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional Apify Proxy settings.

Example input

{
  "maxItems": 10
}

Output

The Actor returns one dataset item per trending topic. Each item is a flat, analysis-ready JSON record. Example of a real returned item:

{
  "keyword": "墨西哥vs韩国",
  "hotValue": 13401934,
  "viewCount": 0,
  "hotWordType": 0,
  "id": "5476389",
  "url": "https://www.kuaishou.com/search/video?searchKey=墨西哥vs韩国",
  "source": "kuaishou-hot-board"
}

Output fields

Field	Description
keyword	Trending topic / keyword
hotValue	Hot value (ranking heat score)
viewCount	Number of views for the topic
hotWordType	Internal hot-word type code
url	Canonical link to the item on the source site
id	Stable identifier for the item (when available)
source	Which list / query the item came from

How it works

• Direct API, no browser. Data is fetched over HTTP — no headless browser, no login, no cookies to manage.
• Honest failure. Transient upstream blocks (rate limits, edge protection) are retried with exponential backoff. If the source stays unavailable, the run fails loudly instead of returning a misleading empty dataset.
• De-duplicated. Items are de-duplicated by their identifier within a run.
• Pay per result. You are billed for the rows actually delivered; maxItems is a hard cap on both volume and spend.

Use cases

• Monitor short-video trends among Kuaishou's distinctive audience base.
• Compare what's trending on Kuaishou vs Douyin to spot platform-specific demand.
• Discover rising keywords for content planning and ad targeting.
• Schedule snapshots to track how a topic's hot value climbs or fades.

Integration

Run it from the Apify Console, on a schedule, or call it programmatically via the Apify API, the JavaScript / Python clients, or MCP. Output can be exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pushed to your own storage.

FAQ

Do I need a Kuaishou account, cookies, or to log in? No. The Actor only reads publicly available data.

How am I billed? Pay-per-result: you pay only for the items returned, and maxItems caps the total.

Can I schedule it or call it from my own code? Yes — use Apify Schedules, the REST API, the official clients, or MCP.

Is this an official Kuaishou product? No. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Kuaishou.
