## Pricing

from $0.80 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## China Trends Scraper 中国热搜采集器 – Hot Searches, Topics & Video Rankings

**Apify Free plan: each run returns only the first 3 trends per source**, even if you select 10, 20, 30 or 50. [Upgrade to a paid Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/billing) to unlock your selected limit, subject to source availability. Free-plan output includes **one additional `type: "upgrade_notice"` row** explaining the limit and upgrade link. Trend rows have `type: "trend"`; filter by that value in downstream workflows. The notice is informational and is not a trend.

**Collect current China trending topics and hot-search rankings from eight platforms in one run — no platform login, cookies or coding required.** Select your sources, click Start, and download current trending searches, topics, questions, articles and videos with rankings, links and the details each source provides.

China Trends Scraper helps marketers, researchers, journalists and content teams discover conversations in China without opening eight different websites. No coding, keyword lists or source-platform API keys are required.

> 📈 Current rankings • 🔓 No platform login • 📊 Excel / CSV / JSON • 🤖 Structured data for AI workflows

### What can you collect?

| Source | Current board | Additional details when available |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Weibo 微博** | Hot searches | Popularity, native position and trend labels |
| **Zhihu 知乎** | Hot questions | Heat, excerpts, thumbnails, answers, followers and comments |
| **Bilibili 哔哩哔哩** | All-category video ranking | Views, likes, comments, shares, favorites, coins, duration, creator and cover image |
| **Baidu 百度** | Realtime hot searches | Hot score, descriptions, images and movement labels |
| **Toutiao 今日头条** | Hot events | Hot value, preview images, categories and topic IDs |
| **Douyin 抖音** | Hot searches | Hot value and board refresh time; other details if supplied |
| **Tieba 百度贴吧** | Hot topics | Discussion count, descriptions, images and topic creation time |
| **Juejin 掘金** | Hot articles | Heat score, authors, views, likes, favorites and comments |

Every run collects up to **10, 20, 30 or 50 trends per selected source**, according to your selection. The default selection is 50; Free accounts are capped at 3 per source. Board lengths are controlled by the platforms and can vary. This is a snapshot of these boards, not an exhaustive crawl of every trending item or every category on a platform.

Bilibili provides a current video ranking, not a search-keyword ranking. Each platform determines its own ranking and freshness window; “current” means the board returned at collection time, not content published today.

### How to use China Trends Scraper

1. **Choose your sources.** All eight platforms are selected by default. Keep the ones you need.
2. **Click Start.** The Actor collects the current boards and their available details.
3. **Explore your results.** Open the output table to view trends, or use the details view for images, authors and engagement metrics.
4. **Download your data.** Export to Excel, CSV or JSON. JSON preserves nested metrics and original source data most conveniently.

The input form has two selectors: **Sources** and **Max items per source** (10, 20, 30 or 50; default 50).

#### Input example

Collect Weibo, Baidu and Douyin:

```json
{
  "sources": ["weibo", "baidu", "douyin"],
  "maxItemsPerSource": "20"
}
```

To collect every source, keep the default selection or submit `{}` through the API. The accepted source names are `weibo`, `zhihu`, `bilibili`, `baidu`, `toutiao`, `douyin`, `tieba` and `juejin`. Select at least one source.

### What does the output look like?

Each trend is saved as a separate row with `type: "trend"`. Free-plan runs also include one informational `upgrade_notice` row. The following **illustrative, abbreviated example** shows the main fields; it is not a claim about a currently trending topic:

```json
{
  "source": "douyin",
  "sourceName": "Douyin",
  "board": "Hot searches",
  "trendType": "hot_search",
  "rank": 1,
  "title": "示例热门话题",
  "url": "https://www.douyin.com/search/%E7%A4%BA%E4%BE%8B%E7%83%AD%E9%97%A8%E8%AF%9D%E9%A2%98",
  "popularity": 1234567,
  "popularityLabel": "Douyin hot value",
  "popularityText": "1234567",
  "description": null,
  "imageUrl": null,
  "author": null,
  "metrics": {},
  "collectedAt": "2026-10-21T12:00:00.000Z",
  "sourceUpdatedAt": "2026-10-21T19:58:00+08:00"
}
```

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `source`, `sourceName`, `board`, `trendType` | Where the trend came from and what kind of board it belongs to |
| `rank` | One-based position in the returned board, preserving its order |
| `sourceRank` | Explicit position supplied by the source, when available |
| `title`, `url` | Original title and a link to the topic, search or content |
| `popularity`, `popularityLabel`, `popularityText` | Numeric value, metric name and original displayed value |
| `description`, `imageUrl` | Excerpt and preview image when supplied |
| `author`, `authorUrl`, `category`, `labels` | Available creator and classification information |
| `metrics` | Source-specific engagement counts, such as views, likes or answers |
| `publishedAt` | Publication or creation time when supplied; not the time it became trending |
| `collectedAt`, `sourceUpdatedAt` | Collection time and explicit board refresh time when available |
| `sourceItemId`, `boardUrl`, `sourceUrl` | Original ID, board link and collection endpoint |
| `rawData` | Original board entry for additional fields and source-specific details |

Unavailable values remain `null` or absent inside `metrics`; they are not invented or replaced with zero. Original large numeric IDs are preserved as strings so links remain accurate. Titles stay in their original language.

**Popularity scores have different meanings on different platforms.** A Baidu hot score, a Zhihu heat value and Bilibili views are not equivalent search volumes. Use the native rank and metric within each source rather than combining scores into a global ranking.

### Turn current trends into useful decisions

- **Content planning:** Spot conversations worth covering and open the original topics for context.
- **China market research:** See which topics appear on search, social, video and community platforms.
- **News monitoring:** Build a current editorial briefing with direct links and collection timestamps.
- **Brand and category discovery:** Export the boards and look for mentions relevant to your business. Coverage is limited to the returned boards.
- **AI-assisted briefings:** Give your analysis workflow structured, timestamped observations with traceable sources.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Does this Actor search by keyword or provide historical trends?

No. It collects current boards from the sources you select. It does not search the wider platforms or retrieve past periods. You can schedule future runs in Apify and retain those snapshots for your own comparisons.

#### Will every source return the same number of results?

No. A board can return 10, 20, 30, 50 or more entries depending on the source and its current response. The Actor saves up to your selected maximum for each source, preserving board order. Sources with fewer available entries return fewer results.

#### What happens if a platform is unavailable?

The Actor retries temporary request failures and preserves results from the sources that respond. Open **Source availability and counts** to see a per-source summary, errors and any skipped entries. A partial result is explicitly identified. If none of the selected sources returns usable trends, the run fails instead of presenting an empty success.

#### Are images, authors and engagement counts always available?

No. The Actor extracts details included in each board response. It does not open every individual article, question or video to collect extra information. Platform restrictions, response changes and geographic availability can affect results.

#### Do I need a Chinese platform account?

The configured public endpoints do not require a platform login in the Actor. You need an Apify account to run it on Apify. Access is subject to each source's current availability; no permanent availability is promised.

#### Can I use the results in other tools?

Yes. Download a spreadsheet, use the Apify API, or connect a workflow through tools such as Make or Zapier. Each run includes a dataset of trends and a separate source summary.

### 为什么选择这个中国热榜采集器？

- **一次运行覆盖多个平台**：统一查看搜索、社交、视频和社区热点。
- **两个选择项即可开始**：选择来源和条数，无需填写技术参数。
- **结构一致，便于分析**：一条趋势对应一行，保留来源和时间。
- **补充数据随结果返回**：榜单包含的摘要、图片、作者和互动指标一并导出。
- **支持自动化**：通过 Apify 定时任务、API 和集成连接研究流程。
- **明确标记来源故障**：一个平台暂时不可用时，保留其他平台结果。

### 常见问题

**需要微博、抖音或其他平台账号吗？**
无需提供来源平台账号或 Cookie。Actor 使用公开榜单接口；平台访问限制或接口变化可能影响可用性。

**这是实时热搜API吗？**
每次运行读取各来源当前返回的榜单，是采集时刻的快照。各平台可能缓存榜单，刷新频率和排名规则由平台决定。

**能按关键词搜索或选择过去7天、30天吗？**
当前功能采集所选平台的当前榜单。若需要持续观察，可在 Apify 设置后续定时运行并保留各次结果，用于自行比较。

**所有热度数值可以直接比较吗？**
各平台热度、播放量及讨论数的含义不同。请在同一平台内比较排名与对应指标，不要把不同平台数值当作统一搜索量。

**为什么有的平台返回不足50条？**
榜单长度由来源决定。选择50表示每个平台最多50条；不会补齐不存在的条目。

**一个来源失败会影响其他结果吗？**
其他来源结果会保存。打开 **Source availability and counts** 查看来源状态、条数和错误。所有来源均无法返回有效数据时，运行会失败。

**可以连接 Excel、Google Sheets 或 AI Agent 吗？**
可以下载 Excel、CSV、JSON，或通过 Apify API 与相关集成传递结果。结构化字段、来源链接及采集时间便于后续 AI 摘要和数据分析。
