TikTok Trending Explore Snapshot

See what TikTok is pushing right now in each Explore category — country by country — with full stats for every video, and a summary of the topics and creators that keep coming up.

No login, no TikTok account. 23 countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Mexico and most of Europe.

What it's for

• Trend spotting — find the topics climbing in your niche before you film.
• Market research — compare what Vietnamese, Indonesian and Thai audiences are being shown in the same category.
• Creator discovery — the creators TikTok promotes in a category are the ones worth booking.
• Daily trend archive — schedule it every morning and build your own history of what was hot when.

What you get

One row per video, with:

Where it was seen	Country, Explore category, position in the feed, snapshot time
Performance	Views, likes, comments, shares, saves, engagement rate
Creator	Username, name, verified badge, followers
Content	Caption, hashtags, mentions, sound, duration, language, posting date
Media	Cover image, playable video link

One SNAPSHOT_SUMMARY record per run, with each country/category feed summarised:

{
  "region": "VN",
  "category": "Food",
  "videos": 100,
  "medianViews": 1100000,
  "medianEngagementRate": 0.046,
  "topHashtags": [{ "value": "food", "count": 4 }, { "value": "kechuyen", "count": 2 }],
  "topSounds": [],
  "topCreators": [{ "value": "vn.mecola", "count": 2 }],
  "newestVideoAt": "2026-10-10T12:45:19.000Z"
}

(Real output: Vietnam, Food tab, 100 videos.) Sounds and creators are only listed when they recur — in a 100-video sample most don't, which is itself the signal: the feed is broad, not dominated by one sound. Collect more videos per category to see sound trends form.

Reach-chasing tags that appear on everything — #fyp, #viral, #trending, #xuhuong and similar — are left out of topHashtags, so the real topics surface. They are still in each video's own hashtags.

Speed and cost

Measured: 150 videos (Vietnam × 3 categories) in 18 seconds. The feed arrives about 25–30 videos per request, which makes this the cheapest way to collect TikTok video stats in bulk.

How the snapshot works — read this

TikTok's Explore feed is not a fixed ranking. Every request returns a fresh batch of videos TikTok is currently promoting in that category, for a visitor in that country. So:

• Two runs a minute apart return different videos. That is the feed, not an error.
• feedPosition is the order the actor received the videos, not a global "rank #1".
• A video can appear in two categories (for example in All and in Food) — each sighting is its own row.
• The larger maxVideosPerCategory, the more representative the sample.

Limitations

• No United States feed. TikTok serves no Explore feed to US visitors without a login.
• Large counters are rounded by TikTok itself on some videos.
• videoPlayUrl is signed by TikTok and expires after a few hours.
