Two things this actor gets right that a naive one does not

The chart contains a pinned entry that reuses rank 1. Douyin puts an editorial/promoted slot at position: 1 alongside the genuine number one, so the raw board has two rank-1 rows — and the promoted one has hot_value: 0 and no group_id. Sorting by rank or heat without noticing gives you a bogus number one with zero heat. Every row carries isPromoted, so you can filter it or study it; after flagging, the 50 organic rows have 50 distinct ranks.

A zero-byte 200 is a failure, not an empty board. Douyin answers an unrecognised client with 200 and no body. The actor retries that rather than reporting "no trending topics today".

What is not covered, and why

Only the hot-search board is reachable anonymously. Probed and re-verified:

Endpoint	Result
`/hot/search/list/`	✅ `status_code: 0`, real data
`/general/search/single/`	❌ `status_code 2483` — 请先登录 (login required)
`/aweme/post/`, `/user/profile/other/`, `/comment/list/`	❌ 200 with a zero-byte body — needs an `a_bogus` signature
`www.douyin.com/user/…`, `/video/…`	❌ identical 72.9 KB client-rendered shell

So this is a hot-search actor and is named as one. Douyin search and profile scraping would need a signing sidecar; that is out of scope here.

board_type is accepted by the endpoint and ignored — 0, 2 and 3 return the identical 49 words — so it is not offered as an input.

Known limits

Limit	Detail
One snapshot per run	The board is a live chart; history comes from scheduling the actor, not from paging
Chinese text	Topics are returned as published, untranslated
`hotValue` is Douyin's own scale	Comparable across topics in one snapshot, not an absolute view count
