What you scrape
PlatformPlatform

Discovery rather than lookup. These endpoints answer the question a URL cannot: what exists on this topic right now. Keyword search, hashtag search, people search and the platforms' own trending feeds all return ranked lists in the platform's native order, and the ranking is the point. You are seeing what a real user in that market would see, not an alphabetical dump, which is what makes the result usable for trend work and useless if it were re-sorted.

In every response

results[]

The ranked list exactly as the platform orders it.

rank

Position in the result set, preserved so relevance survives the transfer.

type

What each hit is: an account, a post, a sound, a product.

region

The market the ranking was computed for, where the endpoint takes one.

cursor

Pagination token for walking past the first page of results.

Search API FAQ

Is this the same as scraping Google?
Google search results are one endpoint in this group. The rest are the in-platform search boxes on TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, Instagram and Pinterest, which return entirely different result sets and are the ones that matter for social work.
Can I choose the country the results come from?
On the endpoints that expose a region parameter, yes, and it is documented per endpoint. Where the platform does not accept one, the result is the platform's default market and the response says which.
How deep can I page through results?
Until the platform stops serving them. Search results are usually capped by the platform well before the data runs out, and the cursor coming back empty is the signal you have reached that edge.
Do trending feeds change between calls?
Yes, and that is expected. Trending is recomputed continuously by the platform, so two calls minutes apart can legitimately differ. Snapshot on a schedule if you need a time series.
