To create one, open Developers at the bottom of Fous Studio, turn on Developer mode, then go to API keys (https://app.fous.com/keys). Change the values in `input` to run the same tool on new data. ```bash curl 'https://api.fous.com/v1/query' \ --fail-with-body --silent --show-error --max-time 180 \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '{ "api": "@tiktok-creative-center", "visibility": "public", "operation": "list_trending_hashtags", "version": 1, "input": { "period": "last_7_days", "country": "United States", "industry": "all", "max_results": 20 }, "response": { "format": "json" } }' ``` ```python # Save as fous.py and run with python3 fous.py.
