Find the search terms rising on Douyin, from the search board in Hot Spot Treasure. Each term has its rank, its search heat for the chosen window and a day-by-day heat series of up to 14 days. Filter to terms containing a keyword if you like. 50 terms per page; page on with next_page_token. Heat is Douyin's own score, not a count of searches.

Price $0.81 per 1,000 requests ($0.000806 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Douyin Hot search board endpoint (douyin/billboard_search_hot).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to douyin and action to billboard_search_hot, and put the parameters inside params.
- No required parameters.
- Optional parameters:
  - keyword: Optional: keep only search terms that contain this word, such as food; leave it out for the whole search board.
  - page_token: Page token. Leave it out for the first page (the top 50 terms), then pass back the previous response's next_page_token exactly as received, with the other parameters unchanged.
  - time_window: Time window for the search heat: 1h, 1d (default), 3d or 7d. (allowed: 1d / 1h / 3d / 7d)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: rank (Position from 1: the trending rank on t…), keyword (Keyword: the trending phrase on trendin…), hot_value (Heat value, Douyin's own measure, compa…), search_trend (Day-by-day search heat of the term (bil…).
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "douyin",
  "action": "billboard_search_hot",
  "params": {}
}
- Price: $0.81 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`rank`	Position from 1: the trending rank on trending, the position on the Xingtu board on xingtu_creator_rankings, the position on the search board on billboard_search_hot, and the suggestion's place in Douyin's search box on search_suggest.
`keyword`	Keyword: the trending phrase on trending, the search term on billboard_search_hot, the suggested search on search_suggest.
`hot_value`	Heat value, Douyin's own measure, comparable only within one board and window: on trending, the heat of the entry (often empty on the hotspot board); on the Hot Spot Treasure video boards, the board's heat score, rows ordered highest first; on billboard_search_hot, the term's search heat in the window.
`search_trend`	Day-by-day search heat of the term (billboard_search_hot): a list of {date (YYYY-MM-DD), value}, oldest first, ending with the latest full day in China time; up to 14 days, fewer for new terms. With the default 1d window the last value equals hot_value.
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
