Key features

• 🚩 Country-based trend discovery

  • Filter trending content by countryCode to compare regions and build localized trend views.

• ⏱ Period control (days)

  • Track trends for a selected time window using period in days (e.g., last 7 days) for consistent, repeatable analysis.

• 🔄 Flexible sort order

  • Sort by hot, view, like, share, or comment through the sortOrder input for different perspectives on what’s rising.

• 🧭 Resilient proxy strategy

  • Built-in proxy logic honors your proxyConfiguration; if blocked, it automatically attempts a datacenter proxy and can fall back to a residential proxy for reliability.

• 🧪 Dynamic request stabilization

  • Uses a headless Chromium session to extract dynamic headers before calling the endpoint, improving stability for real-time TikTok trend data.

• 📥 Live saving to dataset

  • Streams items to the Apify dataset as they’re discovered, so you can start consuming results immediately.

• 🚦 Retries and rate handling

  • Includes exponential backoff, HTTP status checks, and gentle pacing between pages for robust long-running jobs.

• 📈 Scale with limits you control

  • Scrape up to maxItems (1–1000) per run; the actor paginates in batches of 20 to deliver consistent throughput for bulk monitoring.
