The trend API for everyplatform

Q: What counts as one request?

Growth and time series: one POST is one request. get_top_trends on MCP: 10 rows = 1 request. REST boards: one POST is one request.

Q: Do failed requests count against my quota?

No. Only successful 200 responses count. Client errors, server errors and rate-limit responses are always free.

Q: What happens when I run out?

Calls return 429 until your quota resets or you upgrade. Upgrades apply instantly, so you're never blocked for more than a minute.

A 0-100 score from Google, TikTok, Amazon and 30+ sources.

Why teams switch

Built for people who ship code

One contract instead of a drawer of unofficial libraries, expired keys, and scrapers that break on Tuesday.

One endpoint

Three modes on a single POST. Parse the envelope once and every source uses the same shape.

Normalized 0-100

Hashtag views, search volume, players, downloads. Rescaled against each source's own history so you can compare them.

On-demand freshness

Keyword series are pulled at request time. Live feeds refresh through the day. Every payload carries its own timestamp.

One key, every source

No per-platform OAuth. No seat licenses. Failed and cached calls are never billed. Only HTTP 200 counts.

Copy-paste first call

cURL, Python, and Node examples on this page. Change the source dropdown, copy, run. Time to first 200 is about a minute.

Agents included

/llms.txt at the root plus an MCP server. Same key, same data, from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.

Coverage

30+ sources. One call.

15 keyword sources and 24 live trending feeds behind a single endpoint. Pass a source or a feed type. The JSON shape never changes.

Keyword sources 15

Live feeds 24

Substack Newsletters

Messy platform metrics in. One 0-100 score out.

Search volume, hashtag counts, concurrent players, package downloads. Different units, different scales, different APIs. We normalize all of it, so a TikTok hashtag and an npm package become directly comparable.

Same scale, every source

Each source is rescaled against its own history, then mapped to 0-100. Compare platforms without unit gymnastics.

Fresh, not fortnightly

Live feeds update continuously and keyword series are pulled on demand. The timestamp is in every response.

One response shape

Three modes, one endpoint, one schema. Parse it once and every source, feed and keyword just works.

Compare

What you were going to build anyway

Most teams start with pytrends, an official API, or a scraper. Those work until the second platform shows up.

	Official APIs	pytrends / scraping	Trends API
Sources	One per vendor	Google, until it breaks	15 keyword + 24 live
Auth	A key per platform	None, or a blocked cookie	One Bearer token
Units	Native, incomparable	Google 0-100 only	Normalized 0-100 + volume
Schema	Different every time	Unofficial, undocumented	One JSON envelope
Failed calls	Often billed	Your problem	Never counted

For AI agents

AI agents can call it too.

/llms.txt at the root

The whole API, modes, sources and examples, in one machine-readable file.

MCP server included

Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can query trends natively through our MCP server. Same data, same key, natural language.

One-shot prompt

Paste this into your assistant and it writes your first integration for you.

Copy-paste agent prompt

I want to track trends with the Trends API. Read https://trendsapi.ai/llms.txt, then help me make my first request: compare the 12-month growth of "ai agents" on Google, TikTok and YouTube, and chart the result.
