TikTok Keywords Discovery Tool

🔎 TikTok autocomplete keywords for content planning

Content planners, SEO writers, and social media teams can use TikTok Keywords Discovery Tool to collect public autocomplete suggestions from TikTok search. Keyword suggestion rows include the seed, suggestion text, normalized text, rank, suggestion type when available, source context, language, region, and collection time. This turns search-box ideas into a dataset for content planning and TikTok SEO research.

• Find gift-related TikTok search phrases with Gift Ideas.
• Plan skincare content around phrases from Skincare Routine.
• Explore healthy meal search phrases with Fitness Meals.
• Collect home workspace search phrases with Home Office.
• Plan seasonal fashion content with Summer Outfits.

📦 TikTok autocomplete rows

The Actor saves one dataset row for each eligible TikTok autocomplete suggestion. Rows keep the submitted seed, returned suggestion, normalized suggestion, rank, TikTok source fields, language, region, and collection time. If the same normalized suggestion appears again under another seed, the Actor saves the first eligible occurrence and ignores later matches. The saved row keeps the first seed and rank context.

With source order, rank follows the order TikTok returns for each seed. With alphabetical order, rank is assigned after sorting. This Actor focuses on TikTok search autocomplete. It does not collect TikTok videos, profiles, comments, followers, ads, TikTok Shop products, or search-volume metrics.

▶️ Turn seed terms into TikTok keyword ideas

1. Add one or more values in Seed keywords.
2. Keep the prefilled seeds for a first run, or replace them with your own search phrases.
3. Set either result limit to control the number of saved rows. Leaving a limit empty returns all available suggestions until the source is exhausted.
4. Choose TikTok source order or alphabetical order for suggestions within each seed.
5. Choose whether to keep a suggestion that exactly matches its submitted seed, then set the language and region hints.
6. Start the Actor and open the dataset from the run output.

⚙️ Input

Example input

This is the public input from a successful current-beta default-input run.

{
  "keywords": [
    "gift ideas",
    "skincare routine",

  "maxTotalResults": 100,

  "language": "en",
  "region": "US"
}

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
keywords	array of strings, 1 to 500	Required list of TikTok search seeds. Each seed is checked separately.
maxSuggestionsPerKeyword	integer, minimum 1	Optional limit for saved suggestions from each seed. Leave it empty to save all available suggestions for each seed until the source is exhausted.
maxTotalResults	integer, minimum 1	Optional limit for saved suggestions across the run. Leave it empty to save all available suggestions from the submitted seeds until the source is exhausted.
resultOrder	string: source or alphabetical	Keeps TikTok's returned order for each seed or sorts each seed's suggestions alphabetically.
includeSeedEcho	boolean	Keeps a suggestion when its text exactly matches the submitted seed.
language	string language code	Sets a preferred TikTok language context. This is a source hint, not a hard result filter.
region	two-letter string	Sets a preferred TikTok region context, such as US, GB, DE, or JP. This is a source hint, not a hard result filter.

Limits

Both optional result limits can be left empty. In that case, the Actor saves all available suggestions until the source is exhausted. If the other limit is set, it can stop the run first.

Automatic cleanup

Repeated normalized suggestions across the submitted seeds are suppressed. The first eligible match is saved, and later matches are ignored.

❓ FAQ

What happens when a seed has few or no suggestions?

TikTok can return fewer suggestions than requested or none at all. The dataset contains only available accepted rows for that seed, with no made-up suggestion.

What happens if one seed cannot be completed?

Valid rows already saved remain in the dataset. The run reports the incomplete work truthfully so you can review what was collected.

What happens when the same suggestion appears under two seeds?

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of the normalized suggestion and ignores later matches. The saved row keeps the first seed and rank context.

Can I leave the result limits empty?

Yes. Leaving either optional limit empty returns all available suggestions until the source is exhausted, unless the other limit stops the run first.

Do language and region filter the results?

No. They provide TikTok source context and are not hard result filters.

Does the Actor return search volume or trend data?

No. It returns autocomplete suggestions and source context, not search volume, CPC, popularity scores, or trend predictions.

Do I need a TikTok account or API key?

No. The Actor collects public TikTok autocomplete suggestions without a TikTok login, cookies, or an API key.
