TikTok Hashtag Scraper - Analytics, Trends & Top Videos

The most complete TikTok hashtag scraper and hashtag analytics API on Apify. No login, no TikTok API key, no cookies. Give it any hashtag (or let it discover trending ones) and get back every metric TikTok's public trend index exposes: total video views and post counts with week-over-week growth, trend direction, average views per post, related trending hashtags, and the top videos with views, likes, comments, shares and author. Built for TikTok trend research, influencer and social media marketing analytics, content planning and SEO.

Here is one real result, with every field the actor returns (the topVideos list is trimmed to 1 of 5 entries and the long signed cover/coverAvif/videoUrl/authorAvatar strings are omitted for readability; they are present and real in the live record):

This TikTok hashtag analytics scraper returns every metric the public trend index exposes for each hashtag: total video views and posts with week-over-week growth, average views per post, trend direction, related trending hashtags, and the top videos (views, likes, comments, shares, author, engagement rate). Region, sorting and filter controls let you surface exactly the TikTok trends you need, and an optional AI add-on reads each hashtag's momentum in plain language.

What it does

The actor reads the TikTok public hashtag trend index for the region you choose. You can hand it specific hashtags to analyze, or leave the list empty and let it start from trending hashtags and follow the related-hashtag graph to discover more. For each hashtag it writes one normalized record with total video views and posts (plus week-over-week growth), average views per post, trend direction, related hashtags, and, when withDetails is on, the top videos with their engagement metrics and author. It supports sorting and filters (rising-only, minimum views/posts). Missing source values are returned as null, and hashtags are de-duplicated.

Use cases

• TikTok trend research: find rising hashtags early with week-over-week growth and the onlyRising filter, before they peak.
• Influencer and creator marketing: see which hashtags a niche is using, their reach, and the top-performing videos and creators behind them.
• Content planning and SEO: pick hashtags by real view volume and engagement instead of guesswork, and expand your tag set through the related-hashtag graph.
• Social media analytics and reporting: pull normalized hashtag metrics (views, posts, growth, engagement) into dashboards, sheets or a data warehouse.
• Competitor and campaign monitoring: track a watchlist of brand or campaign hashtags on a schedule and watch their momentum move.
• Agencies and market research: benchmark hashtag performance across 32 markets for pitches and trend reports.

How we compare

Honest comparison with the popular TikTok hashtag actors on Apify. All read public data; the right choice depends on whether you want hashtag-level analytics or a full per-video post dump.

Where competitors reach more (conceded honestly): clockworks/tiktok-hashtag-scraper uses a browser to page through every video posted under a hashtag, so it returns far more individual videos than the up-to-5 top videos TikTok's Creative Center exposes to us over HTTP. webdata_labs returns the ranked hashtag board with rank and industry classification, which comes from a separate login-gated surface we deliberately do not touch. This actor's edge is the analytics depth on each hashtag: week-over-week growth, related hashtags, top videos with engagement, and the AI momentum read, none of which the analytics competitors return.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 10 trending US hashtags with related tags and top videos.

{
  "maxHashtags": 10,
  "withDetails": true,
  "expand": true,
  "region": "US"
}

To analyze specific hashtags, fill hashtags (for example ["booktok", "gymtok"]) and turn expand off. Only hashtags in TikTok's public trend index return data. Free Apify plans are capped at 10 hashtags per run.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~tiktok-hashtag-analytics-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"region":"US","sortBy":"videoViewsWow","onlyRising":true,"maxHashtags":25}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~tiktok-hashtag-analytics-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"hashtags":["booktok","gymtok"],"expand":false,"withDetails":true}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/tiktok-hashtag-analytics-scraper \
  --input '{"region":"BR","lang":"pt","minVideoViews":1000000,"maxHashtags":50}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

This actor uses pay-per-event billing. You are only charged for the events below. See the pricing tab for current prices.

Event	When it is charged
apify-actor-start	Once per run, on every run (including free-plan runs), to cover the run's base compute.
result	Per hashtag analytics record returned.
details	Per record that includes the related trending hashtags and top videos (only when withDetails is on and detail data is present).
ai_trend	Per hashtag enriched by the optional AI trend read (aiTrend), charged only when a usable AI result is produced. Off by default. Disabled on the free plan.

• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs return no records.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 result records per run (an unset maxHashtags still caps at 10 for free users). The ai_trend add-on is disabled on the free plan. Upgrade for higher maxHashtags and AI enrichment.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there a TikTok hashtag API? Do I need an API key or login? TikTok does not offer a public hashtag analytics API. This actor is that missing API: it reads TikTok's public hashtag trend index with no login, no cookies and no API key, and returns clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Call it over the Apify API or CLI like any REST endpoint.

How is this different from a TikTok video or profile scraper? Video scrapers (such as clockworks/tiktok-hashtag-scraper) return the individual posts under a hashtag. This actor returns hashtag-level analytics: total views, post counts, week-over-week growth, trend direction, related hashtags and the top videos with engagement. Use a video scraper for a full post feed, and this one for trend and analytics data.

Can I get every video posted under a hashtag? No. TikTok's public Creative Center exposes up to five top videos per hashtag, and that is what topVideos returns. Paging through the full post feed of a hashtag requires a browser-based video scraper, which is a different tool.

Which hashtags return data? Any hashtag in TikTok's public trend index. Popular and trending hashtags almost always return data; very small or brand-new tags may not be indexed yet and return no record (and are not charged).

A run returned 0 records. Why? The hashtags you passed are not in TikTok's public trend index, or the filters (onlyRising, minVideoViews, minPostCount) removed everything. Leave hashtags empty for trending discovery, or loosen the filters. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Do view and post counts change with region? No. TikTok reports global view and post counts regardless of the region context; region changes which market's trend pages are read.

How do I only see trends that are growing? Set onlyRising to true, or sort by videoViewsWow.

Why is topVideos empty? withDetails was off, or the source did not publish top videos for that hashtag. Missing source values are returned as null or an empty list, never invented.

Do the video URLs expire? Yes. The signed cover and video URLs are time-limited by TikTok's CDN. Download promptly after a run.

Is this an official TikTok tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with TikTok or ByteDance. It reads only data that is publicly available in the TikTok Creative Center. Use it in accordance with the TikTok terms of service.
