## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I find trending TikTok sounds and creators?

Use the TikTok trending songs, creators, videos, and hashtags skills. They let you filter by time period and country, which makes the trends much easier to interpret.

### Can I spot emerging sounds before they peak?

Yes. The songs lookup has a `new_on_board` filter for newly trending sounds, which is useful when you want early signals instead of only the biggest hits.

### How do I go from a sound to the videos using it?

Pull the sound details first, then use the song-to-videos lookup to see the posts built on that audio. That is the quickest way to study how creators are adapting a trend.

### Does it include YouTube Shorts too?

Yes. In addition to TikTok feeds, sounds, hashtags, and creators, the tool also returns trending YouTube Shorts batches.
