TikTok Trends Overview

TikTok Trends in Monitor helps you track and analyze trending hashtags across different locations, categories, and timeframes —giving your marketing and communications teams the insights needed to create timely, relevant content that resonates with your audience.

You don’t need a TikTok account to access these insights. Our TikTok integration pulls real-time data from TikTok’s API, bringing you the latest trends, top-performing content, and key engagement insights - all within Monitor.

The content available is similar to what appears in TikTok's Creative Center.

Note: Meltwater’s TikTok Trends feature in Monitor is powered by TikTok’s Discovery API — a data source built exclusively for trusted TikTok partners like us. This API goes beyond what TikTok’s native Creative Center offers, giving brands strategic insights that drive better decisions.
