Pricing / cost estimation

This Actor uses a headless Chromium browser (Playwright), which consumes more compute than plain HTTP scrapers.

Run scope	Estimated compute units
1 region × 1 trend type × 50 items	~0.02 CU
1 region × all 4 types × 100 items	~0.10 CU
5 regions × all 4 types × 100 items	~0.50 CU
10 regions × all 4 types × 200 items	~1.50 CU

Apify's Free plan includes $5 of monthly compute — enough for many full runs. Residential proxy bandwidth is billed separately.

Tip: Reduce costs by selecting only the trend types and regions you need, and keeping maxItems ≤ 50 for quick queries.

Tips and advanced options

• Residential proxies — TikTok rate-limits data-center IPs. Keep the default RESIDENTIAL proxy group.
• Schedule regular runs — Capture daily/weekly snapshots and build a trend time-series in your own data warehouse.
• Multi-region in one run — Add multiple country codes to regions and compare markets in one dataset.
• Industry filtering — Pass an industry ID (e.g. "3" for Beauty & Personal Care) to narrow hashtag results.
• Breakout sounds — soundChartType: "breakout" surfaces the fastest-accelerating sounds before they go mainstream.
• Webhook output — Configure a webhook in Actor run settings to push results to Slack, an S3 bucket, or your own API endpoint.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is scraping TikTok Creative Center legal? TikTok Creative Center is a publicly accessible platform (no login required) built for advertisers and creators. This scraper accesses only public information visible to any website visitor. Always verify compliance with TikTok's Terms of Service and applicable data regulations before using data commercially.

Will I always get the full maxItems count? Not necessarily. TikTok Creative Center may return fewer results for less-active regions or time periods. The scraper fetches all items the API provides up to your limit.

Why use a browser instead of direct HTTP requests? TikTok uses JS-based anti-bot protections including session cookies and CSRF tokens. A real Chromium browser handles these automatically without requiring reverse engineering.

Some fields are missing or zero — why? Field availability varies by region, trend type, and API response. The scraper uses safe fallbacks ("" or 0) for any field the API omits.
