# TikTok Hashtag Momentum & Top Creator Tracker

Use this skill to fetch TikTok data with the Apify Actor `dataspryva/tiktok-hashtag-momentum-and-top-creator-tracker` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | one of `trendingHashtags`, `trendingVideos` | Choose 'Trending hashtags' for TikTok's ranked hashtag charts (post/view counts, popularity curve, creators) or 'Trending videos' for TikTok's ranked video charts (views, engagement, author stats). |
| `countries` | array | (mode=trendingHashtags) One or more markets to read the hashtag chart for. Each market adds its own ranked rows. |
| `periods` | array | (mode=trendingHashtags) Lookback windows in days. 7 shows recent spikes, 90 shows longer-term trends. Select one or more. |
| `includeOverallRanking` | boolean | (mode=trendingHashtags) Include each market's overall top-3 hashtag chart. Turn off to read only the industry charts selected below. |
| `scanAllIndustries` | boolean | (mode=trendingHashtags) Read all 19 industry charts for every market and window. This widens coverage from 3 to up to 60 hashtags per market and window, because each industry chart is read separately. |
| `industries` | array | (mode=trendingHashtags) Specific industry charts to read when 'Scan all industries' is off. Ignored when scanning all industries. 19 public categories are available. |
| `includeCreatorLeaders` | boolean | (mode=trendingHashtags) Add creator rows that aggregate the creators TikTok credits across the collected hashtags, sorted by how many trends they appear in. |
| `minHashtagAppearances` | integer | (mode=trendingHashtags, creator leaderboard only) Only list creators credited on at least this many collected hashtag rows. |
| `videoCountries` | array | (mode=trendingVideos) Markets with a public TikTok trending-video chart. Select one or more. |
| `videoPeriods` | array | (mode=trendingVideos) Windows in days for the trending-video chart: 7 for videos created in the last week, 30 for the last month. |
| `videoSortBy` | one of `views`, `engagementRate`, `sixSecondViewRate` | (mode=trendingVideos) Metric used for the video ranking. |
| `videoOrganicOnly` | boolean | (mode=trendingVideos) Rank only organic (non-promoted) videos. TikTok returns a different ranking for organic-only charts. |
| `videoContentTags` | array | (mode=trendingVideos) Query TikTok's video ranking by content tag and dedupe the videos. Each selected tag is a separate ranking read; 'All tags' also includes the unfiltered chart, returning up to ~24 videos per market, window and sort instead of 4. |
| `weeksBack` | integer | (mode=trendingVideos) Add past weekly rankings by moving the chart end date back 7 days per step (0-4). Useful for comparing this week with earlier weeks. |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "mode": "trendingHashtags",
  "countries": [
    "US"
  ],
  "periods": [
    "7"
  ],
  "includeOverallRanking": true,
  "scanAllIndustries": false,
  "includeCreatorLeaders": false,
  "minHashtagAppearances": 2,
  "videoCountries": [
    "US"
  ],
  "videoPeriods": [
    "7"
  ],
  "videoSortBy": "views",
  "videoOrganicOnly": false,
  "weeksBack": 0,
  "includeTopComments": false,
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dataspryva~tiktok-hashtag-momentum-and-top-creator-tracker/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/dataspryva~tiktok-hashtag-momentum-and-top-creator-tracker/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `rowType`, `rankIndex`, `hashtagName`, `publishCnt`, `vv`, `observedCountry`, `observedPeriod`, `scrapedAt`, `caption`, `views`, `engagementRate`, `author.username`, `createdAt`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
