Trend Discovery
Find what is gaining traction in your category, and read what it actually says.
A view count tells you something moved, not why. Hashtag, sound, and keyword searches surface the candidates on TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit; transcripts turn the ones worth understanding into text a model can summarize. What comes back is a set of posts with their metrics and their words attached — something to act on rather than a feeling that something is happening.
Build it into a product.
Find candidate content by keyword, hashtag, or sound, then take transcripts so a model can read what the content actually says rather than counting views.
Supported responses use a consistent ActivityStreams 2.0-based model. Shared concepts map to consistent fields, while platform-specific capabilities remain documented. Standard calls use one credit; batch endpoints charge one credit per submitted ID. Failed and timed-out requests are automatically refunded.

Or run it in a tool you already use.
The same endpoints are available as MCP tools. Connect a supported client once and the work becomes a question you ask or a step in a scheduled workflow — with no integration to build.
Chat — ask what’s trending, get a real answer
Use ChatGPT or Claude to search for sounds, hashtags, and content themes, then read the transcripts of whatever comes back.
Example prompts
- What sounds are showing up on TikTok in the [category] space? Get recent audio data.
- Search TikTok for hashtags related to [topic]. What’s getting the most engagement?
- Who are the fastest-growing creators on TikTok in the [niche] category?
- Take the top 5 TikToks for #[hashtag], read their transcripts, and tell me what they have in common.
Automation — weekly trend digest
Run a weekly workflow that scans for rising terms in your category and delivers a digest to your team.
Example workflow
A weekly Zapier workflow that searches TikTok for hashtags in a category, logs the top results with view counts, and sends a summary to the content team.
What this covers.
Public data only. Supported endpoints return what the platform serves publicly, and reaching it never depends on a connected account — so private analytics for accounts you own are outside what this can answer.
- Surface the sounds and hashtags showing up across a category
- Read the transcript of a video instead of inferring its message from the caption
- Give a model the content behind a trend so it can explain the pattern
- Re-run the same searches weekly and watch which terms rise and fade
