The problem it solves

Spotting which hashtags are trending on TikTok means constantly checking the app and writing notes down before they go stale. Without a running record, it is hard to see how trends shift over time or plan content around them.

Who it fits

Social media managers, brand strategists, or content creators who plan campaigns around trending TikTok topics.

How it works

  1. Once a month, the automation runs on its own
  2. It scrapes TikTok's top 100 trending hashtags for your chosen country
  3. It retrieves details like publish count and video views for each hashtag
  4. It saves every hashtag as a new record in Airtable
What you get

Trends you spot before your competitors do

You keep a running list of what's trending on TikTok so your content planning starts from what's already working.

What you get

An Airtable database of trending hashtags with performance details, updated monthly.

What you need

An Apify account and an Airtable account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
