the prompt

Using treg, search TikTok for 'protein powder' sorted by likes and Xiaohongshu for '蛋白粉' sorted by popularity. Show me the price first. Return a CSV with platform, likes, comments, plays, caption and posted date, sorted by likes. Then pull the profiles of the top 10 TikTok creators and add their follower counts.

Why this prompt works

Search both platforms

TikTok shows Western demand, Xiaohongshu shows Chinese consumer behaviour. One prompt, two markets.

Use the native language on Xiaohongshu

Search the Chinese term. An English keyword returns a thin, unrepresentative page.

Sort by engagement

Both routes accept a sort. Likes-first surfaces what resonated, not what was posted last.

Profile the creators behind the hits

Follower count tells you whether a hit came from reach or from resonance.

The steps

What ChatGPT calls, and what each call costs

Prices are the provider’s own rate, read from the catalog when this page loads, with $0.000 added by treg.to. Success rates are treg.to’s own served calls over the last 30 days.

#	Step	What the agent asks	Provider used	Price	Success rate

At the rates above, 10 rows where every call hits comes to $0.03 (1 × $0.001 + 1 × $0.0221 + 10 × $0.001). The receipt below is what it actually cost.

The receipt

What it actually cost

Run on 2026-09-14, 10 creators in.

TikTok: 20 videos for 'protein powder', top post 719,160 likes
Xiaohongshu: 20 notes for '蛋白粉' in the last six months, top note 48,588 likes
Creators profiled: 10 of 10 TikTok creators, 11,500 to 11,000,000 followers
Total metered: $0.032: $0.001 TikTok search, $0.022 Xiaohongshu search, $0.01 profiles

Twelve calls. The two searches returned 40 posts; the ten profile pulls added follower counts to the TikTok hits. The spread is the finding: the same category's top TikTok post has fifteen times the likes of the top Xiaohongshu note, and the creators behind the TikTok hits range from an 11k-follower account to an 11M one, so reach alone does not explain the ranking. The Xiaohongshu search is the expensive call; everything else is TikHub's per-success rate.

Why treg.to

Why go through treg.to

One key, not 9 accounts

treg.to holds the provider keys. Neither you nor the agent sees them.

Price before the call

The provider's own rate, $0.000 markup, from a prepaid balance.

No subscription, no seats

Charged per call. $1.00 free per new team, no card to start.

Your own keys are free

Already pay Hunter? Register it and those calls are never metered.

Switch by changing a word

Another provider is a different word in the prompt, not a new integration.

Nothing to integrate

No SDK, no OAuth dance per vendor, no seats.

The detail

Where it goes wrong

No results for a niche keyword

One platform may return nothing. Try a broader term or the category's native-language phrasing.

Xiaohongshu is in Chinese

Captions come back in Chinese. The agent translates; check nuance with a native speaker before acting on it.

Time window is approximate

Xiaohongshu's publish-time filter is documented as approximate and can include older notes.

Region shapes the TikTok page

TikTok search is regional. Pass the region you sell in.

Questions

Before you start

What does the dual-platform search cost?

The receipt above is one real run. The Xiaohongshu call is the expensive one; the TikHub calls are the cheap ones.

Can I get transcripts?

Yes. The catalog has TikTok transcript routes; add them as a step for the posts you shortlist.

What about Instagram or YouTube?

Add those searches to the prompt. The catalog has keyword search on both.

How do I track this over time?

Run the same prompt weekly and keep the CSVs. The agent can diff the top posts between runs.
