How Do You Use Hashtags to Spot Trending Products?

Open a product hashtag, or search it, and look at the newest videos: products that keep appearing across different creators within a few days are trending. Pay attention to the comments too; “where did you get this?” and “link?” signal buying intent. Hashtag use is covered in how to use hashtags on TikTok.

How Do You Tell If a Product Is Still Trending?

A product is still rising when new videos about it keep appearing every day and their views are climbing; it’s peaking when the newest videos get fewer views than last week’s. Listed below are the 3 checks.

1. Count new videos about the product over the last few days.
2. Compare views on this week’s videos with last week’s.
3. Read comments for purchase questions and complaints.

Saves are a useful signal too: apidojo’s own documentation suggests tracking the bookmarks count on product videos to gauge purchase intent (Apify).

How Do You Track Trending Products With Data?

Collect the videos behind a product hashtag or keyword, then count posts, views and saves per day. apidojo’s TikTok Scraper on Apify takes hashtag URLs or keywords, and for keyword searches its dateRange input applies TikTok’s own date filter, such as THIS_WEEK (Apify).

{
  "keywords": ["tiktok made me buy it"],
  "dateRange": "THIS_WEEK",
  "sortType": "MOST_LIKED",
  "location": "US",
  "maxItems": 1000
}

Each result includes views, likes, comments, shares, bookmarks, hashtags and uploadedAtFormatted, which is enough to rank products by momentum. It costs $0.30 per 1,000 posts. Running this on a schedule is covered in how to monitor TikTok trends with an API.
