> `APIFY_TOKEN` must be set in environment or `.env` file.

**If Apify MCP is available:**

Tool: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~tiktok-scraper" Input: { "keywords": ["#[niche]", "#[niche]tiktok", "#[niche]foryou"], "maxItems": 200 }


**REST API fallback:**
```bash
curl -X POST   "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tiktok-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"keywords": ["#skincaretips", "#skincaretiktok"], "maxItems": 200}'

Filter:

playCount >= min_views

node scripts/run_actor.js
--actor "apidojo~tiktok-scraper"
--input '{"param": "value"}'
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json

> `APIFY_TOKEN`必须在环境变量或`.env`文件中设置。

**若Apify MCP可用：**

工具: apify:run-actor Actor: "apidojo~tiktok-scraper" 输入: { "keywords": ["#[niche]", "#[niche]tiktok", "#[niche]foryou"], "maxItems": 200 }


**REST API备选方案：**
```bash
curl -X POST   "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tiktok-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"keywords": ["#skincaretips", "#skincaretiktok"], "maxItems": 200}'

筛选条件:

playCount >= min_views

Step 2: Analyze Content Patterns

步骤2：分析内容模式

From caption and available metadata, classify:

hook_type:
  QUESTION = caption starts with or contains "?", "have you", "do you", "did you know"
  LIST = "X things", "here are the", "number [N]"
  BEFORE_AFTER = "I did X for 30 days", "watch the transformation"
  STORY = first-person narrative opener ("I was struggling with...")
  CONTROVERSY = "unpopular opinion", "no one talks about", "this is controversial"
  TUTORIAL = "how to", "step by step", "the only guide you need"

content_length_tier:
  SHORT = video duration < 15 seconds
  MEDIUM = 15-60 seconds
  LONG = > 60 seconds

从标题和可用元数据中，分类如下：

hook_type:
  QUESTION = 标题以"?"开头或包含"have you"、"do you"、"did you know"
  LIST = "X things"、"here are the"、"number [N]"
  BEFORE_AFTER = "I did X for 30 days"、"watch the transformation"
  STORY = 第一人称叙事开头（"I was struggling with..."）
  CONTROVERSY = "unpopular opinion"、"no one talks about"、"this is controversial"
  TUTORIAL = "how to"、"step by step"、"the only guide you need"

content_length_tier:
  SHORT = 视频时长 < 15秒
  MEDIUM = 15-60秒
  LONG = > 60秒

Step 3: Score Trend Replicability

步骤3：评估趋势可复制性得分

trend_score = (playCount / 1000000, max 1) * 0.30
            + (diggCount / playCount * 100 > 3 ? 1 : ratio/3) * 0.25
            + (commentCount / playCount * 100 > 0.5 ? 1 : ratio/0.5) * 0.25
            + (format_is_replicable: TUTORIAL/LIST/QUESTION = 1, BEFORE_AFTER = 0.8, STORY = 0.6) * 0.20

Trend window: posts all from the same 7-day period =

TRENDING NOW

; spread over 30 days =

ESTABLISHED FORMAT

trend_score = (playCount / 1000000, max 1) * 0.30
            + (diggCount / playCount * 100 > 3 ? 1 : ratio/3) * 0.25
            + (commentCount / playCount * 100 > 0.5 ? 1 : ratio/0.5) * 0.25
            + (format_is_replicable: TUTORIAL/LIST/QUESTION = 1, BEFORE_AFTER = 0.8, STORY = 0.6) * 0.20

趋势周期： 所有帖子均来自同一7天周期 =

TRENDING NOW

（当前热门）；分布在30天内 =

ESTABLISHED FORMAT

（成熟形式）

Step 4: Edge Cases

步骤4：边缘情况处理

Trend driven by a single mega-creator: If top 3 posts are from same creator, it's a creator trend not a format trend — flag as
```
CREATOR_DRIVEN
```
; harder to replicate without their audience
Trend requires specific audio: Note if posts share the same sound; audio trends are TikTok-specific and may expire quickly
Niche too small (< 50 posts above threshold): Lower
```
min_views
```
to 25K; or report the top posts available with a note on data volume
International content dominates: Filter by caption language; use English-language posts if targeting English-speaking audience

由头部创作者驱动的趋势：如果排名前三的帖子来自同一创作者，这是创作者个人趋势而非形式趋势——标记为
```
CREATOR_DRIVEN
```
；若无其受众基础则较难复制
需要特定音效的趋势：注意帖子是否使用相同音效；音效趋势是TikTok特有的，可能会快速过时
细分领域过小（符合阈值的帖子<50条）：将
```
min_views
```
降至25K；或报告现有热门帖子并注明数据量限制
国际内容占主导：按标题语言筛选；若针对英语受众则使用英文帖子

Troubleshooting

故障排除

All viral posts are from mega-creators: Add filter

follower_count < 500K

to surface format trends from creators of all sizes. Format analysis is inconsistent: Caption text is the only metadata available without video analysis; use it as a proxy and note this limitation. Trend is already declining: TikTok trends typically peak and decline within 2-3 weeks; if freshness is low, recommend adapting the format with a new angle rather than copying directly.

所有病毒式帖子均来自头部创作者：添加筛选条件

follower_count < 500K

，以发掘不同规模创作者的形式趋势。 形式分析不一致：若无视频分析，标题文本是唯一可用的元数据；将其作为替代指标并注明此限制。 趋势已开始衰退：TikTok趋势通常在2-3周内达到峰值并衰退；若新鲜度较低，建议调整形式而非直接复制。
