How do I pull Douyin's hot-topic data by program? (2026)
3 endpoints at $0.0020 a call: douyin.trends.list for hot searches and rising topics, douyin.index.trends.list for the live and fastest-rising topics of Douyin's index tool, and douyin.videos.trending for the last day's video boards. One page of all 11 boards once an hour comes to $15.84 a month. To look by hand, 热点宝's address is douhot.douyin.com, which asks you to scan in with a Douyin account. DataXAPI reads Douyin with 36 endpoints, from $0.0020 a call; a failed call is not charged.

Looking by hand, or keeping a table
Opening douhot.douyin.com on 2026-11-04 led to a page asking you to scan in with a Douyin account, and that page names the service 生活服务热点中心 (a hot-topic centre for local services). We did not log in, so what is inside is not described here. The endpoints below are for a table kept on a schedule, with one key and no Douyin account of yours.
Which board gives what
board picks the list. Each heat is the platform's own score, not a count of searches.
| Endpoint | board | What comes back |
|---|---|---|
douyin.trends.list | hot_search | About 50 at once, with name, rank and heat. view=full adds ext.videos and ext.views |
douyin.trends.list | rising, topics | 10 a page, charged by the page, with name, rank and heat. view=full adds ext.videos, and ext.views on topics |
douyin.trends.list | searches | 10 top search terms a page, with heat, without rank |
douyin.trends.list | music | The music chart, without rank; view=full adds ext.artist |
douyin.index.trends.list | topics, rising | About 30 with name, rank and topic index. view=full adds ext.views, ext.videos and ext.category |
douyin.videos.trending | low_fan, high_like, high_completion, high_follow | About 9 videos a page: text, link, author's name and followers, plays, likes. view=full adds ext.new_followers, ext.like_rate and ext.follow_rate |
Keeping a history
Each answer is the board as it stands, refreshed every 10 minutes, and meta.fetched_at says when it was taken. Asking more often gives the same reading. To see what is climbing, store each reading with its time and compare places.
In one go, dataxapi run trends platforms=douyin,weibo,bilibili --out trends.csv writes each platform's default board to one table: 3 calls, $0.006. To check whether a word on a board has lasted, douyin.index.keywords.history reads its daily index, at $0.0060.
| A month | Calls | Comes to |
|---|---|---|
| Hot searches, once an hour | 720 × $0.0020 | $1.44 |
| Hot searches, rising topics and the index tool's rising topics, once an hour | 2,160 × $0.0020 | $4.32 |
| All 11 boards, once an hour | 7,920 × $0.0020 | $15.84 |
| All 11 boards, once a day | 330 × $0.0020 | $0.66 |
From a board to ideas
With an AI that has DataXAPI connected: “Read Douyin's hot searches and rising topics, drop what has nothing to do with skin care, and give me 3 angles for each that is left.” That is 2 calls: $0.004. The topics come as words: to see the videos, search a word with douyin.videos.search, at $0.0200.
Endpoints
Each with its price; every page has the parameters, the fields and a recorded response.
