## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## TikTok Trending Hashtags Scraper

**Discover what's trending on TikTok — extract trending hashtags by country, time period, and industry at scale.**

The TikTok Trending Hashtags Scraper pulls structured data from TikTok Creative Center: hashtag rank, public post counts, video views, popularity trend over time, and top creators. It's built for marketers, content creators, agencies, and researchers tracking what resonates on TikTok.

### ⚡ Quick start

```json
{
  "countryCode": "FR",
  "period": "7",
  "industry": "23000000000",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "cookies": [{ "name": "sessionid", "value": "<session-value>" }]
}
```

> **Session cookies (optional but recommended):** Without an authenticated session, only the top 3 trending hashtags are returned. To scrape the full list, provide your exported TikTok Creative Center session cookies. Cookies expire periodically — when a run reports an invalid or expired session, re-export and update them.
>
> **How to obtain your cookies:**
>
> 1. Install the [**Cookie-Editor** Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm).
> 2. Log in at [TikTok Creative Center](https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/inspiration/popular/hashtag/pc/en).
> 3. Open the **Cookie-Editor** extension and **export your cookies** in **JSON format**.
> 4. Paste the exported cookie data into the **Session Cookies** input field.

## `period` (type: `string`):

The time period over which hashtag trends are measured.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

## `industry` (type: `string`):

Optionally filter trending hashtags by industry. Leave empty to include all industries.

## `cookies` (type: `array`):
