Douyin trend-index live hot topics API
Get the live topic board or the fastest-rising topic board of Douyin's index tool, about 30 entries each: place, name, topic index, number of related videos, their plays and a category. The topic index is the platform's score of heat, not a count of searches. About 30 items a call, 50 at most; $0.0020 per call. Errors and timeouts are not charged; an empty result is charged $0.0020.
