TikTok trending hashtags scraper and TikTok API alternative — extract TikTok's own Creative Center ranking as structured JSON: hashtag, rank, video views, post count, industry labels, a popularity curve, trend stage, and the top creators driving it. Filter by country, industry chart, and 7 / 30 / 90-day window. No TikTok login, no cookies, no API token.

TikTok shows 3 hashtags per chart to logged-out users. This Actor scans the overall chart plus 20 industry charts and deduplicates, which is typically 50–60 unique hashtags per country and window.

Scrape TikTok hashtags with Python, Node.js, cURL, or MCP / AI assistants. Export JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset.

When to use

• See what is ranking on TikTok this week in a specific market
• Compare 7-day breakouts vs 90-day staying power
• Sweep all 27 published countries in one run
• Feed hashtag + creator handles into a briefing, dashboard, or agent workflow

When not to use

• Private accounts, chats, inboxes, or gated content — public pages only; the Actor does not log in.
• You want a published top 100 board. Logged-out Creative Center still returns 3 rows per chart (limit and page are ignored). Scanning every industry chart is how this Actor gets past that, and 50–60 uniques is the usual yield — not 100.
• You want videos under a hashtag, comments, or profiles — this Actor only returns the Creative Center charts.
• You send period=120 expecting a 120-day chart. TikTok now returns an empty board for 120/180, not a 7-day one. This Actor remaps 120/180 to 90 instead.

Key features

• Overall chart + 20 industries — one request per chart, then deduped by hashtag. First chart wins (overall, then industries in id order)
• 27 countries — the markets TikTok publishes (US, GB, DE, BR, JP, …)
• 7 / 30 / 90-day windows — period and country written back on every row
• Curve + trend stage — popularity series, momentum, and trendStage (rising / peaking / fading / steady) with peakDate
• Top creators — handle, nickname, follower count, profile URL
• Honest empty-run — the US 7-day overall chart must return at least one hashtag or the run fails as blocked. An industry chart with 0 rows is a valid empty slice
• No login — residential proxy recommended on Apify

Input

Parameter	Description
countries	ISO codes to scrape (default US). Closed list of 27 markets
allCountries	Sweep every published market in one run
period	7, 30, or 90 (default 7). 120/180 are remapped to 90
periods	Extra windows merged with period (e.g. 7+30+90)
scanIndustries	Scan the 20 industry charts after the overall chart (default true). false = overall chart only (3 rows)
industries	Optional subset of industry ids. Empty = all 20

United States, this week:

{
  "countries": ["US"],
  "period": "7",
  "scanIndustries": true,
  "maxItems": 60,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}

Overall chart only (3 rows):

{
  "countries": ["US"],
  "period": "7",
  "scanIndustries": false,
  "maxItems": 10
}

All 27 countries, three windows (capped — a full industry scan is larger than maxItems):

{
  "allCountries": true,
  "periods": ["7", "30", "90"],
  "scanIndustries": true,
  "maxItems": 500,
  "concurrency": 4
}

Output

One dataset row per unique hashtag × country × window. TikTok serves 3 rows per chart; after dedup, one country and window is typically 50–60 rows.

Field	Description
type	Always hashtag_trend
hashtagId / hashtagName	TikTok id and name without #
hashtagUrl	Tag page on tiktok.com
rank / chartRank	Position on the chart where the hashtag was first seen (1 = top). rank mirrors chartRank
chart	overall, or the industry label of that first chart
chartIndustryId	null for overall, otherwise the industry slice id
foundInCharts	Every chart name where the hashtag appeared (overall and/or industry labels)
country / countryName / period	Market and window
countryRequested / periodRequested	What you asked for
countryFallbackApplied / periodAliasApplied	True when served ≠ requested
views / publishCount	Window video views and post count
industryIds / industryLabels	TikTok's own tags on the hashtag (not the chart it was found in). Labels include Games, Baby, Kids & Maternity, News & Entertainment
popularityCurve	[{ timestamp, value }] 0–100 series
momentum / trendDirection	Last-third vs first-third (rising / fading / flat)

Use cases

• Weekly trend brief for a social team (US + GB + DE, 7-day window)
• Spot low-competition reach: high views, lower publishCount
• Catch fading vs rising tags from trendStage before you brief creators
• See which industry chart a hashtag ranked on (chart, foundInCharts)
• Multi-market sweep: same hashtag appearing in many country rows is a cross-border signal
• Hand topCreators[].handle to a profile/enrichment workflow
• Give an AI assistant the board via MCP and ask for a one-page briefing

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

FAQ

Do I need a TikTok or ads account?
No. The Actor reads the public Creative Center trends board. Nothing to log into.

Is this a TikTok API?
It is a TikTok API alternative for the public trending-hashtag board — no official TikTok Research API key required.

Why not a top-100 list?
TikTok shows 3 hashtags per chart to logged-out users and ignores page and limit. This Actor scans the overall chart and 20 industry charts, then deduplicates — typically 50–60 unique hashtags per country and window. There is no top-100 board on this surface.

Can I scrape TikTok hashtags with Python or Node.js?
Yes. Use the Apify client examples above, or call the Actor from an AI assistant via MCP.

Why did a run fail with an empty dataset?
Creative Center can block a datacenter IP. Preflight requires a non-empty US 7-day overall chart. Enable Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy. An empty industry slice is normal for some markets and is not a failure.

Is 120 days supported?
No. TikTok now returns an empty board for 120 and 180, not a 7-day one. This Actor remaps 120/180 to 90 and sets periodAliasApplied.

Can I get related hashtags or videos?
Not from this chart route. Each row is the ranking + curve + creators TikTok puts on the Trends → Hashtag charts.
