How to Automatically Find Viral TikTok Content (Without Coding!)

Ever wished you could instantly find viral TikTok videos in your niche—without scrolling for hours? What if I told you there’s a way to automatically scrape thousands of TikTok posts, filter out the duds, and only keep the golden nuggets—the ones with insane engagement?

And the best part? You don’t need to know a single line of code.

I built a system that does exactly that, and today, I’ll show you how to set it up in minutes.

How This TikTok Scraper Works

Imagine you’re a treasure hunter, but instead of digging through dirt, you’re digging through TikTok. Most of what you find is junk—but hidden in there are viral gems just waiting to be repurposed for your own content.

Here’s how my system finds them:

Scrapes TikTok – It pulls thousands of posts based on your keyword (like “SEO,” “fitness,” or “cooking”).
Filters for Virality – Only keeps videos with:

High views (at least 10,000+)
Strong engagement (likes, shares, saves)
A solid view-to-follower ratio (meaning small accounts that blew up)

Checks Relevance – Uses AI to analyze hashtags and confirm the video fits your niche.
Dumps Results in Google Sheets – So you have a clean list of ready-to-use viral ideas.

What You’ll Need

A free account on Make.com (automation tool)
A free account on Apify (web scraping tool)
5 minutes of your time

Step 1: Setting Up the TikTok Scraper

First, we’ll use Apify’s TikTok Scraper to collect videos.

Go to Apify’s TikTok Scraper and search for “TikTok.”
Pick the scraper (I use the one that costs $0.10 per 1,000 posts—super cheap).
Enter your search term (like “SEO”) and hit “Save & Start.”

That’s it! Now it’s pulling hundreds (or thousands) of TikTok posts for you.

Step 2: Filtering for Viral Content

Not every video is worth your time. We only want the cream of the crop—videos that:

Have 10,000+ views
Get 5%+ likes (if 100K people saw it, at least 5K liked it)
Have 1%+ shares (people loved it enough to spread it)
Have 3%+ saves (people bookmarked it to watch again)

We’ll set these rules in Make.com so only the best videos make the cut.

Step 3: AI Checks the Hashtags (So You Don’t Waste Time)

Ever found a viral video, got excited, then realized… “Wait, this has nothing to do with my niche!”

To avoid that, we’ll use ChatGPT to analyze hashtags. If they’re relevant (e.g., #SEO, #DigitalMarketing), it keeps the video. If not (e.g., #CatVideos), it gets tossed.

Step 4: Results Go Straight to Google Sheets

Once a video passes all checks, it gets added to a Google Sheet with:
✅ Title
✅ Views, likes, shares
✅ Hashtags
✅ Direct link (so you can watch & repurpose it)

Now you’ve got a goldmine of proven viral ideas—without lifting a finger.
