How to Scrape and Extract TikTok Discovery Information with Airtop Studio

Identifying and tracking trending topics, viral hashtags, and popular music on TikTok can be notoriously difficult due to the platform's continuously shifting trends, limited structured APIs, and large data volume. Marketers, researchers, and analysts often resort to manually monitoring trends, which is time-consuming, tedious, and prone to errors or omissions.
