YouTube Trends API tools (6)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • trends___get_contextFree

    What people are posting, reading and betting about a keyword right now. Returns recent posts, videos, news stories, discussions and prediction markets per source, with engagement (views, likes, score) and top comments. Use it to explain why something is trending or what the conversation says; get_time_series and get_growth measure how much. Costs 1 request per source. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

  • trends___get_growthFree

    Point-to-point growth for a keyword on one or more sources. Each window is a preset string (12M, 3M, YTD, and the other listed periods). Values are on a 0-100 scale, plus absolute volume when available. Designed for growth questions; for charting or custom math, get_time_series provides the full series. App Downloads and App Rankings are keyword sources (Android bundle ID). They are not the App Store / Google Play live boards on get_top_trends. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

  • trends___get_time_seriesFree

    Full historical series for one keyword and one source (0-100 values, plus volume when available). Suited for charting or custom math. Live 'what's trending now' boards are on get_top_trends. get_growth answers most growth questions with less data. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

  • trends___get_top_postsFree

    Live top posts for one hashtag on one social source. Fetched live on every call; nothing is stored. For when the user already has a hashtag and wants the posts winning on it. get_top_trends ranks the hashtags themselves. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

  • trends___get_top_trendsFree

    Live top-trending board for exactly one feed type. No keyword. For 'Amazon Best Sellers by Category', 'Google Trends by Category', 'Pinterest Trending by Category', 'Top Websites', 'Substack by Category', and 'TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category', category selects the board. Default sort is current rank. Use sort='rank_change' for climbers vs a prior snapshot (window 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d). If the requested board is not in the database yet (for example a country that is not collected on the schedule), the board is fetched live. App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, and Google Play are live store boards, not keyword lookups. App history is available via get_growth or get_time_series with source App Downloads or App Rankings and an Android bundle ID. Live boards are only available here, not via get_time_series. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.

  • trends___get_usageFree

    Shows your plan, requests used this month, requests left, and when it resets. Free: does not use a request. Call it when the user asks about their limit or after a limit error.

What the publisher says

From the YouTube Trends API repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

YouTube search-interest API

YouTube search interest trends via the Trends API. History, growth, and live YouTube trending.

Key: trendsapi.ai/#get-key. HTTP contract and every source: trendsapi-ai/trendsapi.

Authentication

pip install trendsapi-youtube
export TRENDSAPI_KEY=your_key

Python 3.9+. Same key as the HTTP API.

from trendsapi_youtube import TrendsAPI

client = TrendsAPI()                    # TRENDSAPI_KEY
# client = TrendsAPI(api_key="YOUR_KEY")

Keyword helpers default to source: "youtube". Pass source= to hit any other platform with the same client. Official full client (every source, no preset): trendsapi.

Methods

source is lowercase (youtube). type is exact (YouTube Trending). Mixing them is a 400.

from trendsapi_youtube import TrendsAPI

client = TrendsAPI()                    # TRENDSAPI_KEY
# client = TrendsAPI(api_key="YOUR_KEY")

series = client.get_time_series("sourdough starter")
print(series[-1].date, series[-1].value)

growth = client.get_growth("sourdough starter", percent_growth=["3M", "12M"])
print(growth.results[0].growth, growth.results[0].direction)

hot = client.get_live(limit=10)
print(hot.data)                         # [[1, "..."], ...]

gettimeseries

points = client.get_time_series("sourdough starter")

Each point:

Python returns list[TrendsDataPoint]. Use .date and .value, not ["date"]. JS returns the same fields as object properties.

get_growth

g = client.get_growth("sourdough starter", percent_growth=["12M", "3M", "YTD"])
print(g.results[0].growth, g.results[0].direction)

percent_growth default: ["12M"]. Presets: 7D 14D 30D 1M 2M 3M 6M 9M 12M/1Y 18M 24M/2Y 36M/3Y 48M 60M/5Y MTD QTD YTD. Custom: {"name": "Launch", "recent": "2024-06-01", "baseline": "2024-01-01"}.

Several windows still count as one request. Python: growth.results[0].growth. JS: growth.results[0].growth.

get_live

hot = client.get_live(limit=10)

Python: hot.data. JS: hot.data. Optional offset= and category= (Amazon Best Sellers by Category, Top Websites only).
