China Hot Search 热搜榜: Weibo, Baidu, Douyin, Zhihu Trends in One Dataset

Read what China is talking about right now. This Actor reads 26 Chinese hot lists in one run (Weibo 微博热搜, Baidu 百度热搜, Douyin 抖音热榜, Kuaishou 快手, Zhihu 知乎, Toutiao 今日头条, Bilibili, Tieba, Tencent News, Sina and more) and returns one row per topic with rank, heat, label, link and an English translation of the title. Topics that tell the same story on several platforms are matched, so you can see at a glance which stories the whole country is following. No login, no cookies, no proxy to set up.

Why use it

• One run, every list. All 26 lists in about 20 seconds, with the same columns for each, so one spreadsheet covers Weibo, Douyin and Baidu side by side.
• The same story across platforms. Each topic carries platformsCount and alsoOn. A story that is on Weibo, Douyin, Baidu and Toutiao at once is a national story; one that is only on Bilibili is a niche one.
• English titles. titleEn holds a machine translation of every title, so you can read the lists without knowing Chinese.
• Alerts without repeats. Turn on "Return only topics not seen before" and schedule the Actor hourly: each run returns only what is new since the last.
• Keyword watch. Keep only topics that mention your brand, product or competitor (华为, 小米, Tesla, 比亚迪…).

The default is the 12 main social and news lists: Weibo, Baidu, Douyin, Kuaishou, Zhihu, Toutiao, Bilibili, Tieba, 360, The Paper, Tencent and Sina.

Use cases

• Brand and crisis monitoring: an hourly run with your brand names as keywords tells you when you reach a Chinese hot list, and on how many platforms.
• China market research: a daily archive of what Chinese consumers search for and discuss, by platform.
• Newsrooms and analysts: stories ranked by how many platforms carry them, with English titles.
• Content and marketing teams: see which topics are rising on Douyin, Kuaishou and Bilibili before planning posts.
• Entertainment and media: Baidu's novel, movie, TV and game boards plus Douban's trending movies and WeChat Read's rising books.

How it works

1. Pick the lists, or keep the default 12.
2. The Actor reads every list at once and matches topics that tell the same story on different platforms.
3. You get one row per topic, in list order, with an English title.

Input

Field	Type	Description
platforms	string[]	Lists to read, from the table above. Default: the 12 main lists.
maxTopicsPerPlatform	integer	Most topics to keep from each list, counted from the top. Default 50, up to 100.
keywords	string[]	Keep only topics whose title or summary contains one of these words.
minPlatforms	integer	Keep only topics whose story is on at least this many of the lists read. Default 1 (everything).
translateTitles	boolean	Add titleEn, an English machine translation of each title. Default on.
skipSeenTopics	boolean	Return only topics that an earlier run with the same history name has not returned.
historyHours	integer	How long a returned topic counts as seen. Default 24.
historyName	string	Runs with the same name share one history. Default default.

Example: stories on at least three platforms

{
    "platforms": ["weibo", "baidu", "douyin", "kuaishou", "zhihu", "toutiao", "bilibili", "tencent"],
    "minPlatforms": 3
}

Example: hourly brand alert

{
    "keywords": ["华为", "Huawei", "鸿蒙"],
    "skipSeenTopics": true,
    "historyName": "huawei-watch"
}

Output

One row per topic. Lists that do not carry a field leave it null, so every row has the same columns.

{
    "platform": "douyin",
    "platformName": "Douyin hot list 抖音热榜",
    "board": "hot",
    "rank": 40,
    "title": "iPhone Duo前置摄像拍照效果",
    "titleEn": "iPhone Duo front camera photo effects",
    "isPinned": false,
    "heat": 7641241,
    "heatText": "7641241",

    "publishedAt": "2026-10-27T06:02:52.000Z",
    "stats": { "videos": 1 },

    "isNew": true,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-10-27T22:16:03.028Z"
}

A video list row (Bilibili popular) carries the video's counts in stats:

{
    "platform": "bilibili_popular",
    "rank": 1,
    "heat": 602506,
    "url": "https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1mdxN68E7F",
    "stats": { "views": 602506, "likes": 138302, "coins": 46031, "favorites": 16055, "comments": 3707, "danmaku": 2877, "shares": 3517 },
    "author": "温柔JUNZ",
    "publishedAt": "2026-10-27T09:00:00.000Z"
}

Key output fields

Field	Meaning
platform / platformName	The list the topic came from.
rank	Position on the list. 0 with isPinned: true is the entry pinned above the ranking.
title / titleEn	The topic as the platform shows it, and its English translation.
heat / heatText	The platform's own heat score as a number, and as shown (e.g. 2339 万热度). Scores are not comparable between platforms.
label	The platform's badge: hot, new, boiling, first…
summary	The short description, when the list has one (Baidu, Zhihu, Tieba, 360, Tencent).
url	The topic's page, or the platform's search for it.
stats	List-specific counts: views, likes, answers, readers, rating…
storyGroup	Rows with the same number tell the same story.
platformsCount / alsoOn	How many platforms in this run carry the story, and which others.
firstSeenAt / isNew	When the topic was first returned under this history name.

Pricing

Pay per event. You pay only for topics returned.

Event	When	Price
Actor start	Once per run	$0.001
Hot topic	Each topic returned	$0.0003

All 12 default lists (about 525 topics) cost about $0.16. Topics left out by keywords, minPlatforms or skipSeenTopics are not charged, and a list that cannot be read costs nothing. Free-plan runs return up to 20 topics per list.

FAQ

Do I need accounts, cookies or a proxy? No. The Actor reads the lists the way a visitor's browser does.

How often do the lists change? Weibo, Baidu, Douyin and Toutiao update every few minutes; Zhihu and Bilibili every 10 to 30 minutes. An hourly schedule catches nearly every topic that reaches a list.

How does the story matching work? Titles from different platforms are compared word by word after removing punctuation and hashtags. Titles that share most of their wording, such as "外交部回应姆巴佩发表不当言论" and "外交部回应姆巴佩涉华不当言论", get the same storyGroup. Two topics from the same list are never grouped.

How good is the English translation? It is a machine translation, good enough to follow the news. Names of people, products and car models are sometimes translated literally.

Why does a list return fewer than 50 topics? Some lists are short by design: The Paper shows 20, Douban 10, Wallstreetcn 10.

What happens if one site is down? The run continues with the other lists and the status message names the list that could not be read. The run fails only when no list could be read.

Can I get the posts or videos behind a topic? Use the topic url, or pass the title as a keyword to our Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, Zhihu or Bilibili scrapers.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Chinese hot search lists from 26 platforms as structured JSON, with English titles and cross-platform story matching.

Minimal input: {} (reads the 12 main lists) or {"platforms": ["weibo", "douyin"], "maxTopicsPerPlatform": 20}.

Output: one row per topic with platform, rank, title, titleEn, heat, label, url, summary, stats, storyGroup, platformsCount, alsoOn, isNew, scrapedAt.

Behaviors to know: heat scales differ by platform; compare ranks, not heat, across platforms. minPlatforms and keywords filter after matching, so alsoOn still lists every platform carrying the story. skipSeenTopics keeps history in a named key-value store in your account.
