Long arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.

## One schema on 2 platforms.

The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/tiktok/trending_hashtags/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/hashtag/index.md).

- ### Null means unknown

  A field TikTok doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
- ### No input needed

  Every parameter is optional: the plain request returns the default list.
- ### Write one parser

  TikTok and Instagram answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

- **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, instagram, …).
- **`id`string**: Platform-native hashtag ID (TikTok's challenge ID, Threads' tag ID); on platforms whose public pages key a hashtag by its name (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X), the name lowercased.
- **`name`string**: The tag without #, as the platform shows it (case kept). Threads tags may contain spaces ("book club").
- **`url`string**: Canonical hashtag page URL (for a multi-word Threads tag, its tag search page).
- **`description`string**: The hashtag's description as its page shows it; null when it has none.
- **`thumbnail_url`string**: The hashtag's own picture (not one of its posts' images); null when it has none. Platform CDN URLs can expire.
- **`metrics`object**: Counts at fetch time; null = hidden or not exposed, 0 = zero.
- **`approximate_fields`string\[\]**: JSON paths of values rounded by the platform or parsed from display text ("36M videos": metrics.post_count). \[\] when all exact.

## What teams build with the TikTok Trending Hashtags API.

- ### Pick rising hashtags before you post
- ### Track which tags lead an industry weekly
- ### Compare trending tags across countries

## Good to know before you build.

- Logged out, Creative Center shows only the top hashtags of each board and keeps the rest behind its login, so the page ends with page.end_reason platform_limit. Each industry is its own board: read several industries for more tags.
- The window is Creative Center's latest published one, not the days up to now, so a board trails today by as long as Creative Center takes to update it. trend\[\].start_at shows which days it covers.
- period_post_count and period_view_count count the board's window, not all time, so metrics.post_count and the all-time view_count are null here.
- trend\[\] is Creative Center's popularity curve, one point a day, scaled 0 to 1 against the window's peak.
- A country Creative Center publishes no board for returns invalid_input naming the countries it does.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/tiktok/trending_hashtags/index.md).
