# How to find trending TikTok videos by keyword

Before you script a video, see what already works for your topic this month.

**Short answer**

Run **TikTok Keyword Video Search** with your keywords, `publishedWithin` set to `30d` and a minimum view count. You get the matching videos with creator, caption and full stats, ready to sort.

## A real use case

A meal-prep coach plans next month's content. They search “meal prep” and “high protein lunch” for the last 30 days with at least 100k views. The 80 results show which hooks and formats are trending right now.

## Step by step

1. **Add 2 to 5 keywords** people would search.
2. **Set Posted within** to 7 or 30 days for what is trending now.
3. **Set Minimum views** to cut the noise.
4. **Run** and sort by views or shares.

### Input (paste into the JSON tab)

```
{
  "keywords": [
    "meal prep",
    "high protein lunch"
  ],
  "maxResults": 200,
  "publishedWithin": "30d",
  "minViews": 100000,
  "deduplicateAcrossKeywords": true
}
```

### What you get back

```
{
  "sourceInput": "meal prep",
  "caption": "5 lunches for $20, all high protein",
  "authorUsername": "prep.with.sam",
  "views": 2100000,
  "likes": 184000,
  "shares": 9100,
  "duration": 41,
  "uploadedAt": "2026-10-08T12:30:00Z"
}
```
