🔥 TikTok Trending Hashtags Scraper

What does TikTok Trending Hashtags Scraper do?

This actor extracts the top trending TikTok hashtags directly from TikTok Creative Center — the same dashboard professional marketers use to plan campaigns. For each hashtag you get its rank, rank change, total video views, post count, a promoted flag, and a daily sparkline showing how its popularity has moved over the period.

No login, no cookies, no TikTok account required. It runs on publicly available data from ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter.

Why use TikTok Trending Hashtags Scraper?

• Find trends before they peak. The is_new_to_top100 filter surfaces hashtags making their first appearance in the top 100 — your early-mover advantage.
• Track momentum, not just rank. The rank_diff field shows exactly how many positions a hashtag has moved vs the prior period — +5 means it jumped 5 spots. Know if a trend is accelerating before your competitors do.
• Spot sponsored hashtags. The is_promoted field flags TikTok's paid promotional hashtags — keep your organic research clean or study what brands are paying to push.
• 60+ country filters. Pull trending data for the US, UK, India, Brazil, Japan, or any of 60+ markets — not just global averages.
• 18 industry categories. Filter by Beauty, Gaming, Fashion, Food, Health, Travel, and more — so you see what's trending in your niche.
• Human-readable output. Unlike competitors that return raw numeric IDs (like 23000000000 for Gaming), this actor returns clean names like "Gaming", "Beauty & Personal Care", "Fashion & Apparel".
• 40% cheaper than alternatives. At $0.003/hashtag vs $0.005 from the nearest hashtag-only competitor.
