New: Kuaishou Trending Tracker — China's #2 short-video hot rank as clean JSON

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
  • cover and direct video_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.
