TikTok trending hashtags in n8n
Reads TikTok Creative Center's trending-hashtag list for any country and returns rank, post and view counts, a day-by-day momentum curve, and top creators behind each trend.
What this workflow does
Import it and n8n runs the TikTok Hashtag Momentum & Top Creator Tracker Actor on Apify every day at 08:00 with the starter input below. Each row comes back with rank, hashtag, post count, video views and 9 more; repeats with the same hashtagName are dropped. A Google Sheets append is included and stays off until you add your sheet.
