Scrape trending sounds

HTTP Requestruns an Apify TikTok trends/sounds actor for your region and niche keywords. It returns each sound's title, video count and a link to the sound page. - 3
Compare against yesterday
A
Codenode reads yesterday's counts from n8n static data (getWorkflowStaticData), computes each sound's growth rate, then writes today's counts back. New sounds with no baseline are flagged asnew, which is often the best signal of all. - 4
Rank and keep the top movers
A
Sortnode orders sounds by growth rate descending, and aLimitnode keeps the top 5. This turns a noisy list into a short, actionable shortlist your team can actually use today. - 5
Post the alert to Slack

Slacknode posts a ranked message: sound name, growth (e.g. '+900% videos'), and the direct link. Add a fire emoji for anything growing over 300% so the hottest sounds jump out at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
How does it know a sound is 'rising' vs already huge?
The workflow stores yesterday's video-count for each sound and compares it to today's. A sound that jumped from 2k to 20k videos is rising fast; one flat at 5M has already peaked. Ranking by growth rate — not raw size — is what surfaces sounds you can still ride.
Can I keep it to my niche only?
Yes. The Apify actor accepts niche keywords or a region, and you can add a `Filter` node that keeps only sounds whose associated videos mention your niche terms. Most teams track one region plus 2–3 niche keywords to keep the alert tight and relevant.
Why Slack instead of email?
Speed. Trending sounds have a window of days, sometimes hours. A Slack ping in the team channel gets seen and acted on the same morning, and anyone can thread a 'claiming this one' reply. You can add an email or Discord branch too — the data's the same.
