How to find trending TikTok videos by keyword

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"
}
