A content calendar that treats every live rank as a pillar will thrash. Split the week from the quarter. get_top_trends fills the next two publishing days. get_time_series fills the month grid. Both use POST https://api.trendsapi.ai/api. Board type strings are on the API reference. A Monday Google list is explained on the Google Trends guide. Calendar rows should store the inner list, not the quoted body.
The week is three boards
The 27 Aug 2026 boards had two kinds of row. lunar eclipse august 2026 is a date. Slot it on the eclipse day. Do not open a /lunar-eclipse hub in September. tiktokshopbacktoschool dies after the first school week. nvidia stock belongs on a markets blog, not a lifestyle grid. Pull limit 10. Do not paste the whole board into the CMS.

The month is a series
get_time_series with source google search and a standing topic (tax refund, halloween costume) is the month planner. If 12M is up and 3M is down, the peak already passed. Brief next year's piece now. Do not rush a late-season roundup and call it timely.
Wikipedia Trending on the same day listed Dolly Parton and Tim Curry at 1 and 2, matching Google Trends. When two boards agree, the week slot is cheap to staff. When only YouTube agrees, the slot is a video, not a blog. YouTube titles: the YouTube guide.
