## What it does

This skill uncovers rising merchandise on TikTok Shop using the `apidojo/tiktok-scraper` actor on Apify. It looks at concurrent creator promotions across relevant video feeds. Multiple accounts promoting the same item at once provide a reliable indicator of e-commerce demand. You can filter queries by location codes like `US` or `GB`, hashtag terms, and sorting modes.

The analytical workflow handles post processing in stages. It extracts product names from video captions, tallies overall reach, and calculates a trend score combining play counts with engagement rates. Items with at least 70% of mentions occurring within the prior 7 days get marked as peaking. Listings with more than 30 creators receive saturation warnings, while abnormally low pricing below $5 triggers a counterfeit flag.

An active `APIFY_TOKEN` is mandatory in your environment or local `.env` configuration. Execution happens via the bundled `scripts/run_actor.js` utility, an Apify MCP connection, or raw `curl` calls.
