How do I find Douyin videos that took off from small accounts, and can I pull them in bulk? (2026)
At $0.0020 a page, DataXAPI's Douyin video board with board=low_fan gives them in bulk: videos with few followers behind them and many plays or likes, useful for finding topics you can repeat. It covers the last day, with plays, likes and the author's followers. For one field, search a keyword at $0.0200 a page and filter by the author's followers. DataXAPI reads Douyin with 36 endpoints, from $0.0020 a call; a failed call is not charged.

Two ways to pull them
The board is the cheap, ready-made list; the search is the one you can aim.
| Compare | The board | Keyword search |
|---|---|---|
| Endpoint | douyin.videos.trending, board=low_fan | douyin.videos.search, sort=popular, with published_within if you like |
| Who decides what counts as low | The board; no parameter changes it | You: filter on author.followers |
| By field or topic | No: it takes no keyword | Yes |
| Plays | In the answer | Not in the answer: douyin.videos.metrics at $0.0020 a video |
What it comes to
One page of the board a day is 30 × $0.0020, $0.06 a month. All four boards (low_fan, high_like, high_completion, high_follow) come to $0.24. 10 keywords searched once a day are 300 calls at $0.0200, $6. Plays for 50 videos you kept add $0.10.
Good to know
The board only gives the last day and has no date to choose, so to look back, keep a copy each day. A page usually holds 9; go on with cursor while page.has_more is true, each page one call. For scale, one recorded result was by an author with about 56,000 followers and had about 108 million plays.
Endpoints
Each with its price; every page has the parameters, the fields and a recorded response.
