What it does
Kuaishou (快手) is Douyin's biggest rival and the #2 short-video platform in China with 400 million+ daily users — and it is genuinely hard to scrape because it is GraphQL-gated and residential-IP-sensitive. This actor clears that and returns the Kuaishou hot rank (快手热榜) as flat JSON, CSV, or Excel: rank, trending title, hot value, category, creator, cover art, and direct video URLs. No login, no Chinese phone number, and no Kuaishou API key.
Who it's for
APAC trend researchers, social-listening and content-strategy teams, and anyone who needs to see what is going viral in China outside of Douyin — a feed that is otherwise very difficult to source.
Sample fields / output
-
rank— position on the hot rank -
title— the trending topic (热榜) -
hot_value— popularity score (e.g. 1,327.5万) -
category— topic class (social, political, …) -
creator— associated account -
coverand directvideo_url
Example use cases
- Monitor what's breaking on China's #2 short-video platform without a Douyin-only blind spot.
- Feed APAC social-listening and influencer-discovery pipelines with structured Kuaishou data.
- Spot emerging consumer and cultural themes in China for content and market strategy.

FAQ
How is this different from a Douyin scraper?
Kuaishou is a separate platform with a different (often more lower-tier-city) audience. Tracking it catches viral topics Douyin-only monitoring misses.
Do I need a Kuaishou account or API key?
No. No login, no Chinese phone number, and no API key are required.
What formats can I export?
Flat JSON, CSV, or Excel — ready to drop into a dashboard or notebook.
