## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## TikTok Trends - Catch A Sound While It Rises

> *"By the time a trend reaches a trend report, it is over."*

Trend lists are lagging by design, so agencies and brands arrive after the sound has already peaked and saturated the feed.

Track rising sounds, hashtags, and formats while they are still climbing, with early adopter creators and growth momentum attached.

### ⬇️ Input

Configure trend tracking parameters by niche or category:

- **Trend Category or Niche** (`category`): Target category or sound genre (e.g. `viral sounds`, `beauty hashtags`).
- **Maximum Trends** (`maxTrends`): Number of trend records to retrieve per run (default: `20`).

```json
{
  "category": "viral sounds",
  "maxTrends": 20
}
```

### ⬆️ Output

Emits structured rows containing trend metadata, adoption metrics, and computed growth benchmarks:

| Field Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `trendId` | String | Unique TikTok sound, hashtag or format identifier (stable per-row key). |
| `name` | String | Display name of the sound, hashtag or trend. |
| `trendType` | String | Type of trend (sound, hashtag, effect, or format). |
| `videoCount` | Integer | Total observed videos created using this trend. |
| `totalViews` | Integer | Total cumulative views across all videos using this trend. |
| `authorName` | String | Original creator or sound initiator handle. |
| `growthRate` | Number | Daily percentage growth rate of new video creations. |
| `daysSinceEmergence` | Integer | Days since the trend was first detected in our database. |
| `engagementRate` | Number | Average engagement rate of videos using this trend. |
| `engagementRateVsPeers` | Number | Trend engagement rate relative to category peer benchmark. |
| `daysTracked` | Integer | Number of days this entity has been observed in our database. |

### How it works

1. Extracts public TikTok trend, sound, and hashtag data using direct web requests without headless browser overhead.
2. Identifies early adopter creator handles and tracks video creation growth over time.
3. Calculates computed growth indicators including `growthRate` and `engagementRateVsPeers`.
4. Validates each output row against strict dataset schema rules before dataset delivery.

### ❓ FAQ

#### How is the growth rate measured?

Growth rate represents the step-change growth of new video creations utilizing a specific audio track or hashtag over consecutive observation windows.

#### Do I need a TikTok account to run this actor?

No account or login credentials are required. All trend signals are extracted from publicly accessible web endpoints.

# Actor input Schema

## `category` (type: `string`):

The corner of TikTok you care about - <code>beauty</code>, <code>gym</code>, <code>dance</code>, or a sound you have noticed. Narrow beats broad here, because a niche trend is one you can still get in front of.

## `maxTrends` (type: `integer`):

How many come back. Ask for more when you are planning a month of content rather than the next post.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

How the run reaches the platform. The default is already the route that works for this source, so leave it alone unless you have a reason to change it.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "category": "viral sounds",
  "maxTrends": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "category": "viral sounds",
    "maxTrends": 20,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("reapx/tiktok-trends").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
