How it works

1. Choose what to get: trending hashtags, top videos, Explore videos or trending sounds (one type per run; save a task for each type you track)
2. Add countries (two-letter codes) and the period: 7, 30 or 90 days for hashtags; yesterday, 7 or 30 days for top videos
3. Optional: limit to some industries, video rankings or content tags, choose Explore categories
4. Run, then download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON or HTML

Source	Countries	How much per run
Trending hashtags (Creative Center)	US, FR, DE, IT, ES, GB, AR, AU, BR, CA, CO, EG, ID, IL, JP, KR, MY, MX, PH, SA, SG, ZA, TW, TH, TR, AE, VN	~40-46 per country and period (the overall top 3 + the top 3 of 15 industries)
Top videos (Creative Center)	US, JP, VN, TH, ID	~70-85 per country and period (3 rankings × 6 content tags × overall / organic, 4 each)
Explore videos	any country	up to 2,000 per category and country (new videos on every load)
Trending sounds	any country	from the Explore videos of the run: more categories = a bigger sample

FAQ

Why do other tools return only 3 hashtags? TikTok Creative Center (now "TikTok One Creative Suite") shows a logged-out visitor the top 3 hashtags of a filter and the top 4 videos. The Actor asks for every industry, ranking and content tag and merges the answers, so you get the whole visible trend picture of a country in one run.

Where are trending songs and creators? TikTok removed the song and creator charts from the public Creative Center in 2026. Trending sounds here come from the Explore feed: the sounds used by the videos TikTok is pushing right now in that country.

Why only some countries for hashtags and top videos? These are the countries Creative Center ranks (27 for hashtags, 5 for top videos). For any other country use Explore videos and sounds.

What do the numbers mean? posts and views are Creative Center's counts for the period; popularityCurve is TikTok's daily popularity index (100 = the peak of the period). Explore plays and likes from 10,000 up are rounded by TikTok itself (1.5M).

Do I need a TikTok account or cookies? No.
