type is the live-board selector on get_top_trends. Values are title case and include spaces. They are not the lowercase source strings used on get_time_series and get_growth. Every label below is a valid type on the Trends API MCP server in this session. Copy the cell. How to send the request is on the live feeds page. The HTTP contract is on the API reference.
Copy the label exactly
X (Twitter) Trending includes the parentheses. IMDb MOVIEmeter includes the camel M. Open Library Trending Books is four words. Do not shorten them.
On REST, omit type to return every feed. The MCP server requires type.

Four labels that also need category
Amazon Best Sellers by Category, Google Trends by Category, Top Websites, and Substack by Category mix every board if category is omitted. Official names for those four are on category feeds. Other types in the table omit category.
Plan names stay on pricing. Platform write-ups start at https://trendsapi.ai/trends.
