The trend API for everyplatform

Q: What counts as one request?

Growth and time series: one successful POST is one request. get_top_trends on MCP: 10 rows = 1 request, capped at 10 credits per call. REST: 1 credit per successful call.

Q: What happens when I run out?

Requests stop at the monthly limit until your quota resets or you upgrade. There is no overage billing. Upgrades apply instantly, so you're never blocked for more than a minute.

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

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	16 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
