TikTok Hashtag Trends Scraper & Breakout Radar | $2/1K

TikTok Hashtag Trends Scraper & Breakout Radar turns public TikTok Creative Center trend charts into structured, analysis-ready data. Discover hashtags gaining momentum, compare markets and time windows, scan industry-specific charts, and automate recurring trend research without manually checking dozens of pages.

Use it as a TikTok hashtag trends API, a weekly discovery workflow, or a data source for content planning, social listening, market research, and creative intelligence.

What does TikTok Hashtag Trends Scraper do?

The Actor collects public hashtag trend snapshots by country, lookback period, and industry slice. It enriches TikTok's raw chart data with normalized URLs and derived signals such as momentum, volatility, and trend stage, then saves one clean dataset row per unique hashtag, country, and period.

It is designed to answer questions such as:

• Which hashtags are breaking out in the US this week?
• Which trends are rising in one market but not another?
• What hashtags are appearing inside industry charts but not in the overall chart?
• Is a hashtag still accelerating, stable, or already fading?
• Which public creators are associated with a trending hashtag?

This Actor does not scrape private TikTok data, search results, individual videos, or the complete internal TikTok ranking. It structures the public trend data TikTok currently exposes through Creative Center.

Why use this TikTok hashtag trends API?

TikTok Creative Center is useful for manual research, but comparing multiple countries, periods, and industry categories quickly becomes repetitive. This Actor automates that work and produces data that can be filtered, joined, scored, stored, and monitored over time.

Find trends before they become obvious

The overall chart is only one view of the market. With Scan industry slices enabled, the Actor also checks public industry-specific rankings. This can reveal relevant hashtags that do not appear in the general chart.

Separate momentum from raw size

A hashtag with millions of views is not necessarily growing. The Actor analyzes the available popularity curve and returns:

• momentum — change between the first and last popularity-curve values;
• volatility — how much the popularity signal moves within the selected period;
• trendStage — a practical label: breakout, rising, stable, fading, or unknown.

These are deterministic research signals, not predictions or guarantees of future performance.

Compare countries and time windows

Run several countries and 7-, 30-, or 90-day periods together. Every result retains its country, period, industry context, source URL, and scrape timestamp, so comparisons remain auditable.

Build repeatable monitoring workflows

Save the input as an Apify task and run it manually, on a schedule, through the API, or from Make, Zapier, webhooks, and other Apify integrations. Store recurring snapshots in a database or BI tool to detect newly appearing, rising, or disappearing hashtags.

Popular use cases

• Content research: build a weekly shortlist of rising topics for creators and social teams.
• Market comparison: compare hashtag momentum across countries and regional campaigns.
• Creative strategy: identify themes worth investigating before writing briefs or producing videos.
• Agency reporting: export reproducible trend snapshots for clients instead of screenshots.
• Brand monitoring: schedule recurring runs and alert on relevant breakout hashtags.
• SEO and social listening: combine hashtag signals with keyword, review, or search-trend datasets.
• Research and data science: analyze popularity curves, creator associations, volatility, and trend persistence.

scrapedAt	string	UTC timestamp of the snapshot

Field availability depends on what TikTok exposes for a particular country, period, hashtag, and chart slice.

How to scrape TikTok hashtag trends

1. Open the Actor's Input tab.
2. Add one or more country codes, for example US, GB, DE, BR, or JP.
3. Choose one or more trend periods: 7, 30, or 90 days.
4. Keep Scan industry slices enabled for broader discovery, or disable it for the overall chart only.
5. Set Maximum results to control the number of unique hashtag rows. Use 0 to save everything discoverable from the selected public slices.
6. Click Save & Start.
7. Review the dataset or download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, or RSS.

For recurring monitoring, save the configuration as a task and attach an Apify schedule. Compare snapshots using hashtagId, country, periodDays, and scrapedAt rather than treating one run as a historical time series.

Input

A simple weekly US breakout scan:

{
    "countries": ["US"],
    "periods": ["7"],
    "scanAllIndustries": true,
    "maxResults": 25
}

A broader multi-market comparison:

{
    "countries": ["US", "GB", "DE", "BR", "JP"],
    "periods": ["7", "30", "90"],
    "scanAllIndustries": true,
    "maxResults": 300
}

See the Input tab for the full configuration form.

Main input options

Option	Description
countries	One or more uppercase TikTok country codes
periods	Trend windows: 7, 30, and/or 90
scanAllIndustries	Scans the overall chart plus supported public industry slices
maxResults	Maximum unique rows saved across the run; 0 means no Actor-side result limit

Advanced options

Most users should leave the advanced settings unchanged.

• industryIds scans only specific TikTok industry IDs and replaces the all-industries selection.
• requestDelayMs adds a pause between requests and can be increased if TikTok throttles a run.
• requestRetries controls retries for temporary request or TikTok API failures.

Output

You can download the dataset in formats such as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, or RSS, access it through the Apify API, or send it to another application using an integration.

Simplified result example:

{
    "hashtagId": "1234567890",
    "hashtag": "exampletrend",
    "country": "US",
    "periodDays": 7,
    "industryId": "14000000000",
    "rank": 2,
    "posts": 176599,
    "views": 157573033,
    "momentum": 38,
    "volatility": 17.42,
    "trendStage": "breakout",
    "popularityCurve": [
        { "timestamp": "2026-07-11T00:00:00.000Z", "value": 45 },
        { "timestamp": "2026-07-18T00:00:00.000Z", "value": 83 }
    ],
    "topCreators": [
        {
            "username": "example_creator",
            "name": "Example Creator",
            "followers": 245000,
            "country": "US",
            "profileUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/@example_creator"
        }
    ],
    "tiktokUrl": "https://www.tiktok.com/tag/exampletrend",
    "sourceUrl": "https://ads.tiktok.com/creative/creativeCenter/trends/hashtag?countryCode=US&period=7",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-18T12:00:00.000Z"
}

The run also writes an OUTPUT summary to the default key-value store with:

• final status (SUCCEEDED or PARTIAL);
• unique hashtags saved;
• raw results received;
• duplicates skipped;
• slices requested;
• per-slice errors, if any.

Summary objects and failed slices are not written as billable dataset rows.

How much does it cost to scrape TikTok hashtag trends?

The Actor costs $2 per 1,000 saved hashtag rows ($0.002 per result), with Apify platform usage included in the pay-per-event price.

Examples:

Saved results	Actor charge
25	$0.05
100	$0.20
1,000	$2.00

You are charged for useful hashtag rows saved to the default dataset, not for chart requests, retries, run summaries, duplicate results, or failed slices. Your Apify plan and current Store pricing still apply; check the Pricing tab before a large run.

Important coverage limitation

Why are there only a few results per chart?

TikTok currently returns up to three public hashtag entries per country, period, and industry slice to logged-out public requests. This is a TikTok-side restriction, not the Actor's maxResults setting.

The Actor improves useful coverage by scanning the overall ranking and multiple public industry slices, then deduplicating repeated hashtags. Consequently:

• a single overall slice may produce only three rows;
• enabling industry scanning can produce substantially more unique hashtags;
• maxResults: 100 is a ceiling, not a promise that TikTok will expose 100 unique results;
• the Actor does not use your TikTok account, cookies, session token, or private API credentials;
• results represent a public discovery sample, not TikTok's complete internal trend database.

This architecture is intentionally session-free so saved tasks can run reliably without maintaining a fragile personal login. If TikTok changes its public endpoint or available chart depth, coverage may change.

Tips for better trend research

• Use the 7-day period to find recent movement and the 30- or 90-day periods for context.
• Treat rank, views, and posts as TikTok-reported snapshot metrics, not independently audited counts.
• Filter trendStage to breakout or rising, then manually review relevance before using a hashtag.
• Compare the same saved task over time. One snapshot cannot tell you how long a hashtag has remained on the chart.
• Keep industry scanning on when discovery matters; turn it off when you only need the overall chart.
• Start with one country and one period while validating a workflow, then scale to more combinations.
• Use sourceUrl and scrapedAt to preserve provenance in reports and downstream pipelines.

Automate TikTok trend monitoring with the API

Every Actor and saved task can be started through the Apify API. Open the Actor's API tab to copy ready-made examples for JavaScript, Python, cURL, and other clients.

A typical automation flow is:

1. Create a saved task for a market and period.
2. Schedule it weekly or daily.
3. Send completed datasets to a webhook, cloud storage, Make, Zapier, or a database.
4. Compare the new dataset with the previous snapshot by hashtag and country.
5. Alert only when a hashtag is new, has become breakout, or crosses your own views/posts threshold.

FAQ

Is this an official TikTok API?

No. This Actor structures public data available through TikTok Creative Center. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by TikTok.

Do I need a TikTok login, cookie, or token?

No. The Actor uses public, logged-out trend data. Do not paste TikTok credentials into the input.

Does maxResults guarantee that number of rows?

No. It is the maximum number the Actor will save. The actual count depends on the countries, periods, industry slices, duplicate hashtags, and data TikTok makes publicly available.

Why does the same hashtag appear more than once?

The Actor deduplicates within each country and period. The same hashtag can legitimately appear as a separate row for another country or period because its rank, curve, and metrics may differ.

Can I get historical TikTok hashtag trends?

The popularity curve covers the selected TikTok window when available, but the Actor does not provide an unlimited historical database. Schedule recurring runs if you need your own longitudinal dataset.

Can this predict whether a hashtag will go viral?

No. momentum, volatility, and trendStage summarize the curve TikTok exposes. They help prioritize research but do not predict future reach or guarantee campaign performance.

Why did my run finish as PARTIAL?

One or more country/period/industry requests failed after retries while other slices succeeded. Open the run's OUTPUT record to see the affected slices. If the problem persists, share the run URL in the Actor's Issues tab.

Privacy, legality, and responsible use

This Actor only collects public trend-chart data and public creator information that TikTok chooses to expose. It does not access private profiles, messages, email addresses, phone numbers, hidden demographics, or user sessions.

Public results can still contain personal data, such as creator handles or profile links. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other laws worldwide. Only collect and process it for a legitimate purpose, follow TikTok's applicable terms and local regulations, and consult legal counsel if you are unsure whether your use is permitted.

Support

If a country, period, or industry slice stops returning expected data, open an issue from the Actor page and include:

• the Apify run URL or run ID;
• countries and periods used;
• whether industry scanning was enabled;
• expected versus actual result count;
• any relevant message from the run log or OUTPUT summary.

That information makes TikTok-side changes and reproducible extraction bugs much faster to diagnose.
