💡 Pro Tip — Since TikTok doesn’t have a public API, getting data usually means fragile HTTP scraping. ScraperNode is a community node that gives you clean JSON for TikTok profiles, videos, and comments — drop it into your workflow and skip the parsing.
Description
Quick overview
This template uses a community node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify). It will not work without the required node installed.
How it works
- A monthly schedule trigger runs the workflow automatically without any manual intervention required.
- An Apify Actor scrapes TikTok’s top 100 trending hashtags for a specified country, defaulting to the United States.
- Once scraping completes, the workflow fetches the full dataset containing hashtag metrics from Apify’s result storage.
- The dataset is split into individual items, and each hashtag is saved as a new record in Airtable with all relevant details.
Setup
- Go to Settings → Community Nodes on your n8n instance and install the @apify/n8n-nodes-apify community node before proceeding.
- Create an Airtable base with a table named Trending Hashtags containing these columns: ID, Name, Country, Industry, Date Added, Publish Count, Video Views, Rank, and Status.
- Add your Apify and Airtable credentials in the n8n Credential Manager before configuring any nodes.
- Open the Run TikTok Hashtag Scraper node and optionally adjust country_code (e.g., “US” to “GB”) and top100_period (e.g., “30” to “7”) in the Custom Body to match your target market and timeframe.
- Open the Save Hashtag to Airtable node, select your correct Airtable base, and confirm the Trending Hashtags table is selected as the target.
- Save and activate the workflow — it will now run automatically every month and sync the latest trending hashtag data to Airtable.
Requirements
- Installed community node: @apify/n8n-nodes-apify
- Apify account
- Airtable account with a structured base
Customization
- Change Schedule : Modify the Start: Monthly Schedule node to run weekly or on another interval.
- Add Notifications : Attach a Slack or Discord node after the 4. Save Hashtag to Airtable node to alert your team when new data is added.
- Filter Hashtags : Use a Filter node after 3. Split Hashtags into Items to only save hashtags that meet specific conditions (e.g., over 1M video views).
