Search hashtags

Hashtags matching a search, with their view counts. Use `limit` to say how many you want.

POST /api/public/v1/scrape/tiktok/search_hashtags

Returns hashtag_api

Parameters#

query string required

A keyword to find hashtags for. The leading

Example: space

limit integer optional

How many results you want. The run is sized from it, and you are billed for exactly that many.

Results#

GET /runs/:id/results answers with this once the run has finished — one hashtag per row.

Every row also carries raw_json — the platform's own object for that row, exactly as it arrived, with nothing removed. It is left out of the example for length.

This endpoint errs towards returning more rather than less, so expect a few extra rows alongside what you asked for. Everything still comes back typed and parsed the same way.
