Tiktok Trending Videos Scraper

Discover what resonates on TikTok and enhance your engagement with your audience.

What is TikTok Trending Videos Scraper?

TikTok Trending Videos Scraper collects trending TikTok videos for a country you choose. You set the sort order (video views, engagement rate, or 6-second view-through rate), time window (last 7 or 30 days), and optional caps—no profile URLs are required.

⚠️ Session cookies (optional but recommended): Without an authenticated session, TikTok only returns the top few public trending videos. To scrape the full list (up to 100), provide your TikTok Creative Center session cookies in the Session Cookies input. Cookies expire periodically — when a run reports an invalid or expired session, re-export and update them.

How to obtain your cookies:

1. Install the Cookie-Editor Chrome extension.
2. Go to ads.tiktok.com and log in.
3. Open the Cookie-Editor extension and export your cookies in JSON format.
4. Copy the exported cookie data and paste it into the "Session Cookies" input field.

📥 Input

The actor does not take TikTok profile or video URLs. You pass a country code, sort order, period, and optional limits—see the fields below.

Field	Description
countryCode	Region for trending videos. TikTok currently publishes a trending videos list only for US, JP, VN, TH, and ID. Required.
sortBy	How to rank results: views (video views), engagement (engagement rate), or vtr (6-second view-through rate).
period	7 = last 7 days, 30 = last 30 days.
maxItems	Maximum videos to collect (default in the schema: 3; up to 100).
includeDetailedVideoData	If true, fetches each video's top comments in addition to the list data; slower (one extra request per video).
cookies	Optional TikTok Creative Center session cookies (JSON export). Required to unlock the full list.
proxyConfiguration	Optional Apify Proxy settings.

Example JSON:

{
  "countryCode": "US",
  "sortBy": "views",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "period": "7",
  "includeDetailedVideoData": false,
  "cookies": [{ "name": "sessionid", "value": "<your-session-value>" }]
}

includeDetailedVideoData (optional) fetches each video's top comments. Enabling it makes the run slower as it performs an extra request per video.

📤 Output

The results will be wrapped into a dataset which you can find in the Storage tab. Here's an excerpt from the dataset you'd get if you apply the input parameters above:
