When to use the TikTok Hashtags Popular API

Use it for seed-free trend collection by market. One board is three hashtags; pass industry=all for the overall board plus all 15 industry boards in one call.

From the API reference

Returns the hashtags TikTok itself ranks as trending in a market over the last 7, 30 or 90 days, from the hashtag board TikTok publishes for advertisers. Each row is one hashtag: content.text is the tag (no #), id is TikTok's hashtag id and url its TikTok page. What the board says about it is on ext.trend: rank on the board it was read from, posts and views for the window (not the tag's lifetime totals, which is why engagement.views is null), industry / industry_id / industry_label naming that board (null for the overall board), popularity_curve as one relative value per day (0 to 100, peak = 100), and top_creators with handle, name, followers and country. **Depth: TikTok shows three hashtags per board to a reader who is not logged in, and that is what this endpoint reads.** One board is therefore three rows. Pass industry=all to read the overall board and all 15 industry boards in one call, typically 44 to 46 unique hashtags, which is where the niche signal is (in Germany the industry boards carried #adventskalender, #kürbis and #berufsschule while the overall board was three general tags). A hashtag that ranks on more than one board appears once and is billed once: its rank and industry fields name the first board it was read from (overall first, then the industries in TikTok's order), and ext.trend.boards lists every board it ranks on with its rank there, so a hashtag in the top 3 overall and on an industry board shows both. **Markets:** the 27 TikTok publishes this board for. **Not available any more:** the 120-day window, a second page, the new-to-top-100 filter, rank change, and the business-services, financial-services and life-services industries; each is refused with a 400 at no charge. **Pricing is metered at 2 credits per hashtag returned, minimum 6.** One board costs 6; industry=all holds 96 and settles to the rows returned (about 90). A board with no rows costs nothing.

TikTok API

What can you do with the Hashtags Popular API?

The Hashtags Popular endpoint gives you structured TikTok data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.

Example Request

# GET /v1/tiktok/hashtags/popular: Metered: holds 96 credits per call up front and refunds what the call does not use. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 25: this endpoint's measured p99 latency x 1.5.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
countryCodeNoMarket to read the board for, as an ISO country code. One of the 27 markets TikTok publishes the board for. Defaults to US. (US | FR | DE | IT | ES | GB | AR | AU | BR | CA | CO | EG | ID | IL | JP | KR | MY | MX | PH | SA | SG | ZA | TW | TH | TR | AE | VN)
periodNoWindow in days: 7, 30 or 90. Defaults to 7. Each window is a different board, not a longer list. (7 | 30 | 90)
industryNoWhich board to read. Omit for the overall board (3 hashtags). Pass an industry slug for that industry's board (3 hashtags), or `all` for the overall board plus all 15 industry boards in one call. (all | education | vehicle-and-transportation | baby-kids-and-maternity | beauty-and-personal-care | tech-and-electronics | travel | household-products | pets | home-improvement | apparel-and-accessories | news-and-entertainment | games | food-and-beverage | sports-and-outdoor | health)
sinceNoOnly rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`.
untilNoOnly rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`.

Returns TikTok's trending-hashtag board for one of 27 markets over 7, 30 or 90 days: each hashtag's rank, window post and view counts, daily popularity curve, industry board and top creators. The response uses the same JSON envelope as every SocialCrawl endpoint, with the data, credits_used and request_id fields.

The price depends on the request, from 6 to 96 credits per call. Every new account gets 100 free credits. Credits for failed or empty calls are refunded automatically, and there is no subscription.
