Why it exists

TikTok trend data, without the plumbing

TikTok's own developer API requires app review, exposes no hashtag volume history, and still leaves you scraping the trending page. Trends API gives you the demand side directly: how often a hashtag is used, how fast that is growing, and what is trending right now.

The practical edge is timing. TikTok spikes typically lead Google Search interest by two to four weeks, so a hashtag growing 40% week over week on TikTok is often a Google trend that has not happened yet. Because both sources share the same 0-100 scale here, that comparison is one line of code.

FAQ

Common questions

What TikTok data does Trends API provide?

Hashtag volume over time (normalized 0-100), growth percentages over 3M/6M/12M/5Y windows, and three live feeds: trending hashtags, trending searches and TikTok Shop hot products.

Do I need a TikTok developer account?

No. There is no OAuth flow, no app review and no approval wait. One Trends API key covers TikTok and every other source.

How early can I detect a TikTok trend?

Daily data for the last 30 days plus weekly history lets you catch early growth spikes before a hashtag reaches mainstream saturation.

Are hashtags case-sensitive?

No. "booktok", "BookTok" and "#booktok" all resolve to the same signal.

Can I compare TikTok against other platforms?

Yes, that is the point of the product. Query tiktok, youtube and google search for the same keyword and compare normalized scores directly.
