Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between creators, hashtags, and posts?

Use the creator search when you are building an influencer list, hashtag search when you are tracking a trend, and keyword search when you want specific videos or discussions around a topic.

Can I search more than one platform from the same tool?

Yes. It covers TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, Instagram reels, and Google, so you can compare how the same topic shows up across different surfaces.

What does the top TikTok search result give me?

`search_tiktok_top` returns the strongest mix of videos, users, and sounds for a query, which is useful when you want the broadest read on what is ranking.

Can I search inside a subreddit?

Yes. `search_reddit_subreddit` lets you query within a specific subreddit and filter by sort order and timeframe, which is better than a broad Reddit search when you already know the community.
