Baidu Hot Search Scraper
Get Baidu's realtime hot search board — the top 50 trending searches in China right now, with hot scores — as clean, documented JSON.
Baidu's hot search board is the fastest public pulse check on what Chinese consumers are talking about right now. If you do brand monitoring, social listening or China market research, this Actor reads it for you: no account, no login, no Chinese UI to fight with.
What you get
One row per hot-board entry:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
rank | Current position on the board (1–50, by list order) |
title | The trending search headline |
query | The search query the entry links to |
hotScore | Baidu's hot score — higher means hotter |
hotChange | Rank movement vs. the previous board (same, up, down, …) |
tag | Baidu's tag code for the entry (0 = no tag) |
description | Baidu's own summary text for the entry |
url | Ready-to-open Baidu search URL for the entry |
imageUrl | Cover/illustration image URL (may be empty) |
source | Always baidu_hot_board |
fetchedAt | UTC timestamp of the run |
Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
maxItems | integer | 50 | How many entries to return (1–50) |
Pricing
Pay per event — you only pay for what you get:
- $0.001 per run (actor start)
- $0.001 per result row → a full top-50 run costs $0.051
Use it from code or an AI agent
Every Apify Actor is a plain HTTP API, and this one is also available through Apify's MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n and other agents can call it directly as a tool.
Notes
- Data is fetched live from Baidu's public board endpoint at run time — nothing is cached or resold from a stale database.
- Please use the data in line with Baidu's terms and your local regulations.
