What are the best hashtags for TikTok?
We sample public trending videos from several regions via GET /v1/tiktok/feed/trending, count hashtag appearances, and rank by share of the sample. This is a dated snapshot of what showed up in that pull — not a permanent "best forever" list, and not recomputed on every page view.
As of 2026-07-21 · 26 trending videos across US, GB, CA, AU. Live refresh via GET /v1/tiktok/feed/trending.

How we compute this
Pull trending videos for US, GB, CA, and AU. Collect hashtags from each video caption/tag list. Rank by how often each tag appears in the sample; sum visible view counts per tag when present.
- Endpoints
GET /v1/tiktok/feed/trending — region required (US, GB, CA, AU in this snapshot)
GET /v1/tiktok/search/hashtags — optional follow-up to inspect a single tag's recent videos
- Formula
- Share % = videos with hashtag ÷ videos in sample × 100. Views = sum of visible view counts on matching videos.
- Sample
- Four regions × one trending page each. Hashtags with fewer than two appearances are dropped from the top table. The committed JSON is from the latest successful live refresh (empty pulls do not overwrite). Sample size: 26.
- Refresh
- Live recompute on snapshot refresh when SOCIALFETCH_API_KEY is valid (target: weekly). A refresh that returns zero videos fails instead of writing empty rows. Methodology version 1.

FAQ
Are these the best hashtags to use on every video?
No. Broad discovery tags dominate trending samples. Niche tags that match your content still matter more for ranking inside a topic. Use this table as a dated signal of what is circulating in trending pulls, then check a specific tag with GET /v1/tiktok/search/hashtags.
Why does #fyp always win?
Creators attach discovery tags on almost every upload. Our rank counts presence in the sample, so high-frequency tags rise to the top even when they add little topical signal.
How often is this updated?
Snapshots refresh on a regular cadence (target weekly). The page shows the as-of date from the last successful compute. We do not re-hit trending on every page view.
Can I reproduce this with the API?
Yes. Call GET /v1/tiktok/feed/trending for each region you care about, aggregate hashtags client-side, and rank. The curl block on this page is the starting request.
