## Tools

| MCP tool | REST `mode` | Required | Returns |
|---|---|---|---|
| `get_trends` | `get_time_series` | `source`, `keyword` | Weekly history |
| `get_growth` | `get_growth` | `source`, `keyword` | Percent change |
| `get_top_trends` | `get_top_trends` | `type` | Live ranked feed |

Sources, feeds, and keyword formats: [hub keyword sources](https://github.com/trendsapi-ai/trendsapi#keyword-sources) and [live feeds](https://github.com/trendsapi-ai/trendsapi#live-feeds).

`app downloads` / `app rankings` still need an Android bundle ID (`com.openai.chatgpt`).
