How to run it

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Keep the Discover URL or add public TikTok tag, music, or video URLs.
3. Add optional hashtag keywords.
4. Set country, language, trend type, and maxItems.
5. Choose proxy settings if needed.
6. Start the run and export the dataset.

Search tips

• Use keyword groups: Compare related topics such as travel, skincare, and fitness.
• Keep snapshots small: Use maxItems: 20 while testing trend inputs.
• Schedule the same inputs: Recurring runs are useful for trend movement over time.
• Label regions consistently: Use the same country value for comparable trend snapshots.
• Use URLs for precision: Paste exact TikTok tag, sound, or video URLs when a keyword is ambiguous.

Limits and caveats

• The Actor extracts publicly visible TikTok pages only.
• It is not a replacement for private TikTok analytics, creator dashboards, or ad account reporting.
• TikTok may localize, cache, limit, or block public trend pages.
• Some count fields are empty when TikTok does not expose them on the public page.

Integrations

You can connect TikTok trend data to downstream tools:

• Export CSV or Excel to content calendars and trend trackers.
• Load JSON rows into dashboards for scheduled trend snapshots.
• Trigger webhooks after daily or weekly monitoring runs.
• Send trend rows to AI tools for clustering or content ideation.
• Combine trends with TikTok hashtag, profile, video, and ads datasets.

Support

If a run fails, returns no data, or a field looks wrong, open an issue from the Actor page.

Please include the Apify run ID or run URL, input JSON, one example public URL, query, or input item, what you expected, and what the dataset returned. Small reproducible inputs make parsing or site-layout issues much faster to fix.
