TikTok Trends Scraper (Top Ads, Hashtags & Videos)

Get TikTok's trends by country from TikTok Creative Center: top ads with their landing pages, trending hashtags and trending videos, one clean row per item with its rank change since your last run, as JSON, CSV or Excel. No login, no cookies.

• Find winning ad creatives: see the top ads in a country, what they promote, where they send people and which countries they run in.
• Spot rising hashtags early: posts, views and a 7-day popularity curve for each trending hashtag, by country and industry.
• Plan content around what's working: trending videos with views, engagement rate and 6-second view rate.
• Track a market daily: schedule it, and get only what's new to each ranking plus how every item's rank moved.

Quick start

Paste this into the JSON tab of the input and click Start:

{"modes": ["hashtags", "videos", "topAds"], "countries": ["US"]}

You get 11 rows (3 hashtags, 4 trending videos, 4 top ads) in about 30 seconds. Add countries, industries or video categories for more: each combination is its own ranking.

What data can I get?

Every row has a type: top-ad, hashtag or video.

One real row (US, last 7 days, run on 2026-10-18, shortened):

{
  "type": "top-ad",
  "rank": 1,
  "previousRank": 1,
  "rankChange": 0,
  "isNewToRanking": false,
  "id": "7686735943021379602",
  "title": "Limited time flash discount! Save 10%-20% on trendy sunglasses ,Free shipping on 2+ pairs",
  "industry": "Clothing Accessories",
  "objective": "Conversions",
  "likes": 7,
  "ctrTopPercent": 26,
  "budget": "Low",
  "durationSec": 13.834,
  "detailsUrl": "https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/topads/7686735943021379602/pc/en?countryCode=US&period=7",
  "details": {
    "shares": 17,
    "landingDomain": "goodsee.shop",
    "runsInCountries": ["US", "GB", "CA", "IT", "AU", "FR", "DE", "ES"],
    "source": "TikTok Ads Manager"
  },
  "country": "US",
  "periodDays": 7,
  "sortBy": "for_you"
}

The dataset has four views (Overview, Top ads, Hashtags, Videos) and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. The run's SUMMARY record lists the rankings read, empty and failed, and the proxy tier used.

How much does it cost?

You pay per item returned. There is no charge for Apify platform usage on top, and proxies, the browser and ad landing pages are included.

Row	Free and Starter	Scale	Business
Trend item (a top ad, hashtag or trending video)	$1 per 1,000	$0.75 per 1,000	$0.55 per 1,000

Plus $0.00005 per run start. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 5,000 items. Free-plan runs stop at 100 items each; any paid Apify plan removes the cap. A full US run of all three charts (11 items) costs about $0.01.

What's free: empty rankings, items skipped by onlyNew, rankings that failed, and countries a chart doesn't cover (skipped and named in the status message). Bad input ends the run with a message saying what to change, and nothing is charged. To cap a run's spend, set maxItems or Maximum cost per run in the run options: the run stops cleanly when it's reached.

Limits, stated up front

The Actor reads only what TikTok shows a visitor who is not logged in. Since TikTok's 2025 redesign that is:

Chart	Per ranking	Countries	Periods	Filters
Top ads	4 ads (the ones shown publicly)	28	7, 30, 180 days	21 industries, 5 sort orders
Trending hashtags	top 3	27	7, 30, 90 days	15 industries
Trending videos	top 4	US, JP, VN, TH, ID	7, 30 days	5 categories, 3 sort orders

• More rankings, not deeper ones. Only page 1 of each ranking is public. To cover more, ask for more rankings: all 27 hashtag countries × 15 industries is 405 rankings, up to 1,215 hashtags, in one run.
• Periods are per chart. Each chart uses its nearest own period to the one you pick; periodDays on every row says which.
• Songs and creators aren't offered. TikTok removed the public song chart, and the creator chart says "Coming soon" to logged-out visitors.
• Media links expire. videoUrl and coverUrl are TikTok CDN links that stop working after a few days. Download what you need to keep.
• The same item can appear in several rankings (for example a hashtag in two industries) and is a row, and an item, in each.
• Personal data: only what the charts show publicly. Creator handles, display names and follower counts are kept; bios, avatars and TikTok's internal user ids are not.

Only new since last run, and schedules

Save your input as a task and schedule it daily under Schedules in Apify Console. Turn on onlyNew and each run returns only the items that ranking hasn't returned before, so you pay for new top ads and new trends, not the same ones again; skipped items cost nothing. Rank change is kept per task and per ranking either way: previousRank, rankChange and isNewToRanking compare with your previous run of that same ranking.

Integrations: API, n8n, Make and AI agents

API. Run it and get the rows back in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/locaihost~tiktok-trends/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"modes": ["hashtags", "topAds"], "countries": ["US", "GB"]}'

Apify's API clients for Python and JavaScript work the same way.

n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks. Apify's built-in integrations send each run's dataset wherever you need it, for example a daily Slack message with the new top ads.

AI agents (MCP). Add this Actor to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client with https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/tiktok-trends, then ask something like "Which hashtags are trending in the UK beauty industry this week, and which top ads are running there?"

FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok trends?

$1 per 1,000 items on the Free and Starter plans, less on Scale and Business. Ad landing pages and proxies are included. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 5,000 items.

Can I use it through the API or from Python?

Yes. Use the run-sync-get-dataset-items call above, or Apify's Python and JavaScript clients. Every run's data is also available as JSON, CSV or Excel from its dataset.

Can I use it from an AI agent?

Yes. Through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/tiktok-trends) any MCP client can call it with charts and countries and read the rows back.

Is it legal to scrape TikTok Creative Center?

The Actor reads public Creative Center pages and the same public data calls those pages make for a visitor who isn't logged in. It never logs in, uses no account or cookies of its own, and returns no contact details of individuals. TikTok's terms restrict automated access, so check that your use fits them and the privacy rules that apply to you. Ad creatives are the advertisers' work: use them for research and inspiration, not republication. You are responsible for how you use the results.

Why are some fields empty?

brand is empty when the advertiser didn't give one, and details is null when includeAdDetails is off or the ad's detail page had no data. previousRank, rankChange and isNewToRanking are null on the first run of a ranking (there is nothing to compare with yet). Hashtags TikTok doesn't file under an industry have an empty industries list.

Why only 4 top ads per country?

That is what TikTok shows a logged-out visitor on each top-ads ranking. Pick industries and sort orders to read more rankings: each one adds up to 4 different ads.
