TikTok Creative Center Trends Scraper

What is TikTok Creative Center Trends Scraper?

TikTok Creative Center Trends Scraper extracts the public trend rankings from the TikTok Creative Center: trending hashtags, trending videos and top ads, for any country the Creative Center covers. Pick the lists, countries, time windows and industries, press Start, and download clean JSON, CSV or Excel. There's no TikTok login, no cookies and no API key.

It is built for the 2026 Creative Center redesign ("TikTok One Creative Suite"), which broke many older TikTok trends scrapers.

• 📈 Trending hashtags in 27 countries: rank, post count, view count, a daily popularity curve, trend direction, peak date, industry, and the public top creators using each hashtag
• 🎬 Trending videos in the US, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam: views (period, lifetime, organic), engagement rate, 6-second view rate, caption, cover, video link and the public author with follower count
• 📺 Top ads in 28 countries: ad caption, industry, objective, likes, CTR score, budget level, video length and cover. Optionally adds comments, shares, target countries and CTR percentile.
• 🌍 Every country, period (7/30/90/180 days) and industry filter the Creative Center offers
• 💸 Pay only for results: one flat price per trend item, with no charges for failed pages
• 🗓️ Runs on the Apify platform, so you get scheduling (daily trend snapshots), API access, integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks), proxy rotation and monitoring

What data can you extract from TikTok Creative Center?

List	Countries	Filters	Key fields

Trending videos	US, JP, ID, TH, VN	period 7/30 days, sort (views, engagement, 6s views), 5 content tags	rank, title, url, viewCount, lifetimeViewCount, organicViewCount, engagementRate, sixSecondViewRate, createdAt, author{handle,followerCount}

Every item also has type, country, periodDays, category (the ranking it came from), sortBy, source, sourceUrl and scrapedAt, so rows from different lists and days can be combined in one sheet.

How to scrape TikTok trends

1. Click Try for free (or Start) on this page.
2. In What to scrape, choose Trending hashtags, Trending videos and/or Top ads.
3. Choose one or more Countries.
4. Optionally open the section for each list to pick periods, industries, sort orders or content tags.
5. Click Start. A default run (US hashtags, last 7 days, all 16 rankings) finishes in under a minute.
6. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or connect them to Google Sheets, Slack or your own app through the API.

To track trends over time, save your input as a task and schedule it daily. Each run adds a dated snapshot.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok Creative Center trends?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.003 per trend item (one row in the dataset), which is $3 per 1,000 items. Apify subscribers on Bronze, Silver and Gold plans may get lower tier prices, shown on the Pricing tab. There's also a tiny standard Actor start fee set by Apify.

Run	Items	Cost
Default: US hashtags, 7 days, all 16 rankings	48	$0.14
Hashtags, 27 countries × 16 rankings, 7 days	1,296	$3.89
Videos, 5 countries × 3 sorts × 6 content tags, 7 days	360	$1.08
Top ads, 1 country × 21 industries × 5 sorts, 30 days	up to 420	up to $1.26

You pay only for items saved to your dataset. Pages that fail cost you nothing. Set Max items per type, or the run's maximum total charge in the run options, to cap spending. The Actor stops cleanly when either limit is reached.

With the Apify free plan's monthly credit you can collect roughly 1,500 trend items per month at no cost.

In the Apify Console Output tab, the Hashtags, Videos and Top ads views show the right columns for each list. A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store reports items per type, page visits, retries and any failures.

How many results do I get per ranking?

TikTok shows logged-out visitors a short ranking and asks them to log in for the rest. This Actor collects exactly what the public page shows, per ranking:

• Hashtags: top 3 for each country × period × industry, which is 48 per country and period across all 16 rankings.
• Videos: top 4 for each country × period × sort order × content tag, which is up to 72 per country and period.
• Top ads: the 4 ads the dashboard shows for each country × period × industry × sort order.

To collect more, add rankings: more industries, periods, sort orders, content tags and countries. A daily scheduled run builds a long history quickly.

Limitations

• No trending songs or trending creators. TikTok removed both lists from the public Creative Center in its 2026 redesign; the Creator tab says "Coming soon". The Actor will add them if TikTok brings them back publicly.
• No rank change or "new to top 100" flag. The redesigned Creative Center no longer publishes them. Use trendCurve, trendDirection and daily snapshots to follow movement.
• Logged-out ranking depth (3, 4 and 4 rows, see above). The Actor does not log in and does not bypass the login wall.
• trendCurve values are TikTok's relative popularity index (0 to 100, where 100 is the peak day in the window), not absolute views.
• Cover and avatar image URLs are signed by TikTok and expire after a few days. Download them promptly if you need the images.
• TikTok rate-limits fast Top Ads browsing ("too many requests"). The Actor backs off and retries with a fresh browser session, so large Top Ads sweeps (hundreds of industry × sort combinations) take longer, but they still complete.
• ctrPercentile is the value the ad's detail page reports; for top ads it is almost always 0.99.
• Data is as fresh as the Creative Center itself, which usually updates daily.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape TikTok Creative Center?

The Actor reads only public, aggregated trend data that TikTok shows to any visitor without an account, and the Creative Center's robots.txt allows crawling. It doesn't log in, doesn't bypass access controls and doesn't collect private profiles. Creator fields are limited to what the Creative Center publicly shows about public creators (handle, nickname, follower count and avatar). You are responsible for how you use the data, including GDPR and TikTok's terms. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

Can I get trending songs or sounds?

Not at the moment. The TikTok Creative Center no longer publishes a public songs ranking; the old Songs page now redirects to hashtags. Actors that still claim to return trending sounds from the Creative Center are either failing or using a different source.

Do I need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key?

No. You need only an Apify account.

Which proxy should I use?

The default Apify Proxy (datacenter) works. The Actor rotates browser sessions and retries blocked pages automatically. Switch to residential proxies only if your runs report blocked pages.

How can I monitor TikTok trends every day?

Save your input as a task, add a daily schedule in Apify Console, and connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook or your database. Each item carries scrapedAt, country, periodDays and category, so daily snapshots line up.

Can I use the TikTok trends data through an API or in Python?

Yes. Start the Actor through the Apify API or the apify-client package for Python or JavaScript, and read the dataset items as JSON. It also works as a tool for AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

Why did my run return fewer items than expected?

Check the log. Countries that a list doesn't support are skipped with a warning, and an industry or content tag can be empty for smaller countries. RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store lists items per type and any failed pages.
