You: Using TrendsMCP, compare 6-month growth for GLP-1 on Google, TikTok, and Amazon.
Agent: Google Search +84%
TikTok +212%
Amazon +61%
```
Three tools. Normalized 0–100 where the pipeline supports it. No per-platform keys. No scraping on your side.
## Quick install
Same four clients as the site hero. [Get a free key](https://www.trendsmcp.ai/account) first (100 req/mo). Claude and ChatGPT sign you in with OAuth. Cursor and VS Code: click, then put your key from `/account` if the deeplink used a placeholder.

## Tools
Always-current parameter lists: [docs](https://www.trendsmcp.ai/docs).
### `get_time_series`
Weekly (or daily) history for **one** `source` + `keyword`. Same name on MCP and REST (`mode: "get_time_series"`). REST also accepts `get_trends` as an alias.
| Argument | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | yes | Format depends on source (table below) |
| `source` | yes | One source per call. Lowercase catalog names |
| `data_mode` | no | REST only. `weekly` (default) or `daily` |
Index is 0–100 where the pipeline supports it (100 = peak in the returned window). `volume` is present when that source has an absolute series.
### `get_growth`
Point-to-point percent change. Several windows in one call still count as **one** request for that source + keyword.
| Argument | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `keyword` | yes | Same formats as `get_time_series` |
| `source` | yes | One source, or a comma-separated list (`google search, tiktok, amazon`) |
| `percent_growth` | no | Default `["12M"]`. Presets below, or `{ "recent", "baseline", "name" }` date objects |
Presets: `7D` `14D` `30D` `1M` `2M` `3M` `6M` `9M` `12M` `1Y` `18M` `24M` `2Y` `36M` `3Y` `48M` `60M` `5Y` `MTD` `QTD` `YTD`.
### `get_top_trends`
Live ranked list. **No keyword.** On MCP, `type` is required and must match the feed name **exactly** (including capitals). On REST, omit `type` only if you intend to pull every feed (billed per feed).
| Argument | Required on MCP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `type` | yes | See [live feeds](#live-feeds) |
| `limit` | no | Default 25, max 200 |
| `offset` | no | Pagination |
| `category` | for some types | Amazon / Google Trends / Top Websites / Substack / TikTok hashtag category boards |
| `sort` | no | `rank` (default) or `rank_change` |
| `window` | no | With `sort=rank_change`: `1d` `3d` `7d` `14d` `30d` |

## Keyword sources
`source` on `get_time_series` / `get_growth`. Not the same strings as `type` on live feeds.
| `source` | Signal | `keyword` |
|---|---|---|
| `google search` | Search volume | Any phrase |
| `google images` | Image search volume | Any phrase |
| `google news` | News-tab volume | Any phrase |
| `google shopping` | Shopping-tab volume | Any phrase |
| `youtube` | YouTube search volume | Any phrase |
| `tiktok` | Hashtag volume | Hashtag or topic (`#` optional) |
| `reddit` | Subreddit attention | Name only, no `r/` |
| `amazon` | Product search volume | Product or category |
| `wikipedia` | Page views | Article title or topic |
| `news volume` | Mention volume | Any phrase |
| `news sentiment` | News tone | Any phrase |
| `app downloads` | Android downloads | Play bundle id, e.g. `com.openai.chatgpt` |
| `app rankings` | Android chart position | Bundle id |
| `npm` | Weekly downloads | Exact package name (`react`, `@babel/core`) |
| `steam` | Monthly concurrent players | Game display name (`Elden Ring`) |
`source: "Google Trends"` is invalid. Use `google search` for history and `type: "Google Trends"` for the live board.
---
## Live feeds
`type` on `get_top_trends`. Copy the name exactly.
| `type` | Board |
|---|---|
| `Google Trends` | Google searches now |
| `Google Trends by Category` | Needs `category` (e.g. `Games`) |
| `Google News Top News` | Google News stories |
| `TikTok Trending Hashtags` | Hashtags |
| `TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category` | Needs `category` |
| `TikTok Trending Searches` | In-app searches |
| `YouTube Trending` | Videos |
| `X (Twitter) Trending` | Topics on X |
| `Reddit Hot Posts` | Front page |
| `Reddit World News` | r/worldnews |
| `Wikipedia Trending` | Most-viewed articles |
| `Amazon Best Sellers Top Rated` | Top-rated sellers |
| `Amazon Best Sellers by Category` | Needs `category` (e.g. `Toys Games`) |
| `App Store Top Free` / `App Store Top Paid` | iOS charts |
| `Google Play` | Play chart |
| `Top Websites` | Global traffic rank; optional `category` |
| `Spotify Top Podcasts` | Podcasts |
| `Steam Most Played` | Live players |
| `Substack` / `Substack by Category` | Newsletters |
| `GitHub` | Daily trending repos |
| `IMDb MOVIEmeter` | Movie activity |
| `Open Library Trending Books` | Books |
Category name lists: [docs](https://www.trendsmcp.ai/docs).
iOS charts, GitHub repos, Spotify, IMDb, Open Library, Substack, and Top Websites are **feeds**, not `source` values. There is no `source: "web traffic"`.

## REST API
```bash
curl -sS -X POST https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TRENDSMCP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"mode":"get_top_trends","type":"Google Trends","limit":5}'
```
```python
import os, requests
r = requests.post(
"https://api.trendsmcp.ai/api",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TRENDSMCP_API_KEY']}"},
json={"mode": "get_growth", "source": "google search", "keyword": "bitcoin", "percent_growth": ["3M", "12M"]},
)
print(r.json())
```
Python client: [`pip install trendsmcp`](https://pypi.org/project/trendsmcp/).
---
## Limits and errors
| Plan | Requests / month | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 100 | $0 |
| Starter | 1,000 | $19 |
| Pro | 5,000 | $49 |
| Business | 25,000 | $199 |
Annual billing is 20% less. Same source catalog on every plan. Free history and “top N” caps are on [pricing](https://www.trendsmcp.ai/pricing). Failed calls are not billed. Over quota returns `429` / `rate_limited` (no surprise overages).
One billed request:
- `get_time_series`: one source + keyword
- `get_growth`: one source + keyword (all windows in that call included)
- `get_top_trends`: per `type` (and pagination as documented)
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 400 | Bad or missing `source` / `type` / field |
| 401 | Missing or invalid key |
| 404 | No series for that keyword + source |
| 429 | Monthly cap |
| 500 | Upstream or internal error |
Do not commit keys. Claude.ai connectors use OAuth; other clients use `Authorization: Bearer …`.
---
## What this does not do
- Region / geo breakdown, related queries, or related topics
- Hourly series
- `get_time_series` across several sources in one call (use `get_growth` with a comma-separated `source` list, or several `get_time_series` calls)
- Inventing feed names: MCP `type` must match the table
