# China trending API: Douyin, Weibo, Zhihu and Bilibili hot lists (2026) One endpoint a platform, each returning the whole list: Weibo's 50 hot searches, Zhihu's hot list, Bilibili's hot searches and popular list, Douyin's hot search list, Kuaishou's hot list and Xiaohongshu's trending topics. DataXAPI has them all on one key, $0.0020 a call on Weibo, Zhihu, Bilibili, Douyin and Kuaishou; without code, the site's free hot list pages are updated every day. The free trial covers up to 333 calls; a failed call is not charged. Updated 2026-11-06 ## Which endpoint for each platform? Each gives rank and heat; heat is the platform's own score and does not compare across platforms. | List | Endpoint | Price | | --- | --- | --- | | Weibo hot searches | `weibo.trends.list` | $0.0020 | | Zhihu hot list | `zhihu.trends.list` | $0.0020 | | Bilibili hot searches, popular | `bilibili.trends.list`, `bilibili.videos.trending` | $0.0020 | | Douyin hot searches, rising, topics | `douyin.trends.list` | $0.0020 | | Kuaishou hot list | `kuaishou.trends.list` | $0.0020 | | Xiaohongshu trending topics | `xiaohongshu.trends.list` | $0.0200 | ## What does hourly cost? Five lists (Weibo, Zhihu, Bilibili, Douyin, Kuaishou) once an hour are 3,600 calls a month at $0.0020, $7.20. Twice a day is $0.60. A failed call is not charged. ## After the list? A list gives terms and heat. For the posts under each, search by the term, for example with `weibo.posts.search` or `douyin.videos.search`; a Zhihu list item's ID goes straight into `zhihu.questions.answers.list` for its answers. ## Why DataXAPI - Steady: endpoints were available 99.9% of the last 30 days, on a public status page you can check. - Fast: a paid call took 2.5 seconds at the median over the last 7 days (counted 2026-11-06). - Fewer tokens: across 226 endpoints, one recorded real response each, the platform's own JSON comes to 9.2M tokens and what an AI reads through DataXAPI's MCP server to 452k, 95% fewer; the JSON of a direct API call is 90% fewer too (counted 2026-11-06). Every platform answers in one shape: the author in `author`, counts in `metrics`, the next page in `page.next_cursor`, so another platform needs no new parser. - See before you pay: every endpoint's page shows a recorded real response, field by field. - Spending you control: a failed call is not charged; each key can have a limit, `X-Max-Price` caps one call, and the same `Idempotency-Key` within 24 hours is never charged twice. - Ready for AI: a remote MCP server listed in the official MCP registry as `com.dataxapi/mcp`, usable from Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT. - Free trial of up to 333 calls, no card. ## Endpoints - [Weibo hot search board](https://dataxapi.com/apis/weibo/trends/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get Weibo's current hot search list, 50 terms, with rank and heat. - [Zhihu hot list](https://dataxapi.com/apis/zhihu/trends/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get Zhihu's hot list: the questions on it, their rank, heat (approximate) and answer count; an entry's ID is its question's. - [Bilibili hot searches](https://dataxapi.com/apis/bilibili/trends/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get Bilibili's current hot search terms, up to 50, with rank and heat. - [Bilibili popular videos](https://dataxapi.com/apis/bilibili/videos/trending/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get a page of Bilibili's popular videos: title, description, uploader, views, likes, coins, saves, danmaku count, length. - [Douyin hot search board](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/trends/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get a Douyin hot list: hot searches, rising topics, topic ranking, top search terms or the music chart, with rank and heat. - [Kuaishou hot list](https://dataxapi.com/apis/kuaishou/trends/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get Kuaishou's hot list: 50 trending terms and whatever the platform pins above them, with rank and heat. - [Xiaohongshu trends](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/trends/list/) ($0.0200 / a call): Get the hot topics Xiaohongshu suggests to creators: name and the platform's heat score. - [Zhihu question answers](https://dataxapi.com/apis/zhihu/questions/answers/list/) ($0.0020 / a call): Get the first 20 answers to a Zhihu question by ID or link, in Zhihu's own order: text, author, upvotes, comment and save counts.
