What did the live boards show?

get_top_trends takes a type and no keyword. Three feeds, one session.

Google Trends sort=rank_change, window 7d, limit 20, same 10:01:30Z snapshot, returned 3 rows against baseline 2026-08-24T02:01:35Z: sean grayson rank 36 (prev 68, +32), shelley fabares rank 11 (prev 29, +18), sugar rank 126 (prev 140, +14). Neither GTA 6 token nor ps5 pro appeared in that mover list. A live rank of 12 is not a 7-day climber versus 24 Aug. Steam Most Played at 2026-08-31T08:01:33Z led with Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. GTA 6 was not on the 15-row board.

Did weekly search agree with the board token?

when does gta 6 come out is the live string. gta 6 is the series most pipelines already store. Pull both.

Google search, tip week 2026-08-29:

The question-form token is hotter this week (90.0 vs 80.0) and grew faster over 7D (164.71% vs 110.53%). Both sit far above the 12M baselines of 5.0. gta 6 get_time_series peaked at 100.0 on 2026-06-27, then 43.0 (2026-07-04), 20.0 (2026-07-11), 12.0 (2026-08-01), 14.0 (2026-08-15), 38.0 (2026-08-22), 80.0 (2026-08-29). An earlier peak was 65.0 on 2023-12-09. ps5 pro search peaked at 100.0 on 2024-09-14. The 2026-06-27 week that took GTA 6 search to 100.0 took PS5 Pro search only to 52.0. This week's 80.0 / 43.0 split is a trailer week, not a replay of that June print. Search source notes: Google Trends.

Did shopping and YouTube move with search?

for source in ("youtube", "google shopping", "google news"):
    for keyword in ("gta 6", "ps5 pro"):
        print(source, trends_api({
            "mode": "get_growth",
            "source": source,
            "keyword": keyword,
            "percent_growth": ["7D", "14D", "30D", "3M", "12M"],
        }))

Tip week 2026-08-29:

GTA 6 YouTube 7D (+186.67%, 15.0 to 43.0) outran GTA 6 search 7D (+110.53%). PS5 Pro shopping 7D (+78.12%, 32.0 to 57.0) outran PS5 Pro YouTube (+23.08%, 13.0 to 16.0). Hardware demand showed up in shopping. Software hype showed up in YouTube. gta 6 YouTube get_time_series peaked at 100.0 on 2023-12-09, not this week. Weeks of 2026-08-15 / 2026-08-22 / 2026-08-29 were 4, 15, 43. The 2026-06-27 search peak of 100.0 was only 16 on YouTube that same week. ps5 pro google shopping also peaked at 100.0 on 2026-06-27, then 58.0 (2026-07-04), 22.0 (2026-08-01), 33.0 (2026-08-15), 32.0 (2026-08-22), 57.0 (2026-08-29). ps5 pro google news is the odd row: 40.0 this week is below 45.0 on 2026-08-15 (-11.11% 14D) while search and shopping rose. News is not a substitute for shopping on a console SKU.

What did Amazon, Reddit, and Wikipedia return?

Amazon is monthly. 7D and 14D returned collapsed_range for both keywords. Tip date 2026-07-31, a month behind the weekly sources.

Amazon still has PS5 Pro at 499,373 volume versus GTA 6 at 219,965 on the July tip. The June Amazon GTA 6 print of 636,891 / 100.0 is the leftover of the search-100 week, already faded in July. Do not alert on Amazon 7D. The preset cannot split a monthly series.

Reddit get_growth for keyword gta 6 returned search_term gta6 (no space), 26 points from 2026-08-02 to 2026-08-30. Tip 2026-08-30: score 21.2, volume 4059. 7D vs 13.1 / 2631 on 2026-08-23 (+61.83% score, +54.28% volume). 14D vs 1.1 / 517 on 2026-08-16 (+1827.27% score, +685.11% volume). 30D baseline score was 0.0 with volume 315 on 2026-08-02. The API printed growth 999999. Store 21.2 vs 0.0, not that percent. 3M and 12M returned date_out_of_range.

Wikipedia get_growth for gta 6 returned search_term Gta 6. Tip 2026-07-01: 23.8 / 1215 page-view volume. 3M vs 18.5 / 979 on 2026-04-01 (+28.65%). 12M vs 12.9 / 735 on 2025-07-01 (+84.5%). 37 points. Monthly Wikipedia is not the 2026-08-29 trailer week. Do not join 1,215 July page views onto the rank-12 live token.

Which sources returned no_data?

TikTok Trending Searches ranked two GTA 6 Netflix tokens the same morning the keyword series 404'd. The board is not a time series. Steam Most Played is concurrent players for shipped titles. GTA 6 is not on that board and has no steam history. That is expected for a pre-release name. Use google search, youtube, and google shopping for the trailer, and google shopping plus amazon for the console. Modes and envelope: the API reference.

A scheduled pull of this pair is 9 keyword-source get_growth calls if Amazon, Reddit, and Wikipedia join the six weekly cells, plus 3 boards. Daily that exceeds the free 100. Weekly fits. Wire it as a cron GitHub Action rather than a laptop script.
