TikTok & Instagram Reels Trends Scraper

TikTok

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A scraper that collects and ranks trending short-form video content from TikTok and Instagram Reels, producing structured, row-oriented trend records that combine platform, source and region context with post metadata, engagement metrics, audio metadata, hashtags and creator statistics. It fetches country-specific trending feeds for TikTok and a global Reels feed for Instagram, extracts items’ URLs, captions, timestamps, content type and media references, captures views/likes/comments/shares/saves where available, captures audio title/author and whether the sound is original, and returns creator-level data including follower and lifetime-like counts plus top recent videos for discovered creators. The connector performs repeated requests to streaming trending feeds, removes duplicates across batches, ranks items in feed order, supports mixed runs across platforms and regional filters, and operates without requiring login credentials, cookies or accounts.

Request params

Field	Type	Required	Description
`sources`	array	required	Pick one or more trend feeds. Every row has the same columns, so a mixed run exports cleanly to CSV or Google Sheets. Use the 'source' column to split them.
`tiktokRegions`	array	optional	2-letter country codes (US, GB, JP, BR, DE,...). The feed is fetched once per country, as a viewer in that country would see it. Each country gets its own trend rank.
`maxTiktokVideosPerRegion`	integer	optional	Stop after this many unique trending videos for each country. 0 = keep going until the feed stops returning new videos (bounded by the stop settings below).
`includeTiktokPhotoPosts`	boolean	optional	TikTok's trending feed mixes in photo slideshows. Untick to keep only videos.
`onlyLocalTiktokVideos`	boolean	optional	The feed for a country also contains global hits. Tick this to keep only videos whose creator is registered in the selected country (see the contentCountry column). Fewer results per request. Local-only videos are billed at a higher per-result rate (see the Pricing tab), because many more requests are needed per kept video.
`maxInstagramReels`	integer	optional	Stop after this many unique trending Reels. Each request returns a small batch that overlaps earlier ones, so the connector keeps asking and removes duplicates. 0 = keep going until no new Reels show up.
`maxCreators`	integer	optional	Stop after this many popular creators. 0 = all pages available for your filters.
`creatorCountry`	string	optional	Only creators based in this country. Leave on 'Any country' for a global list.
`audienceCountry`	string	optional	Only creators whose followers are mainly in this country. Useful for finding creators who reach your market.
`creatorFollowerRange`	string	optional	Only creators within this follower range.
`creatorSortBy`	string	optional	How popular creators are ranked.
`stopAfterCallsWithoutNew`	integer	optional	Trending feeds return a fresh, overlapping batch on every request, and later requests repeat more and more earlier items. A feed stops once this many requests in a row add fewer than 5 new items.
`maxCallsPerFeed`	integer	optional	Hard cap on requests for each feed (each TikTok country, the Reels feed and the creators list). Keeps runs with a 0 limit bounded.
