trends___get_growthGet Growth

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. Prefer this over get_time_series for growth questions. 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. If the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up, tell the user their plan limit is reached.

trends___get_time_seriesGet Time Series

Full historical series for one keyword and one source (0-100 values, plus volume when available). Use for charting or custom math. Not for live 'what's trending now' boards (use get_top_trends). For most growth questions, use get_growth. If the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up, tell the user their plan limit is reached.

Effect: readConfirm: explicit policy
trends___get_top_trendsGet Top Trends

Live top-trending board for exactly one feed type. No keyword. For 'Amazon Best Sellers by Category', 'Google Trends by Category', 'Top Websites', 'Substack by Category', and 'TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category', always pass category. Default sort is current rank. Use sort='rank_change' for climbers vs a prior snapshot (window 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d). App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, and Google Play are live store boards, not keyword lookups. For an app's history use get_growth or get_time_series with source app downloads or app rankings and an Android bundle ID. Do not use get_time_series for live boards. If the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up, tell the user their plan limit is reached.
