X Trends Lookup by Country, City & WOEID

Get ranked trending topics from X (Twitter) for any country or city, or for every location X serves in one run — no login, no cookies, no API key. Each trend comes back with its rank, type, a ready-made search link, and the approximate post volume when X publishes it.

What this actor does

• Looks up trends for a list of locations by name, common alias, or numeric WOEID
• Collects trends for every location X serves (around 467 countries and cities) in a single run when asked
• Keeps each trend's rank, name and type — hashtag, cashtag, or topic
• Builds a ready-made X search link for every trend
• Omits any field that has no value for a given row rather than returning a null or placeholder

Output per row

Every row carries a type of trend or status.

Field	Description
type	trend for a trending topic, status for a problem or summary row
location	The location you asked for, with its WOEID appended when two places share a name
woeid	X's numeric location identifier
country / countryCode	Country name and ISO code X reports for the location, when available
placeType	X's place type, e.g. Country, Town, or Metro
rank	Position in the trending list (1 = top trend)
trend	Trend name, hashtag, or cashtag
trendType	hashtag, cashtag, or topic
searchUrl / trendUrl	Ready-made X search link for the trend
tweetVolume	Approximate number of posts using the trend, only when X publishes it
promoted	Whether the trend is a promoted one
asOf	When X calculated this trending list
collectedAt	When this row was collected

Status rows carry a status value (such as unknownLocation, notAvailable, or rateLimited) and a human-readable message, plus didYouMean suggestions for likely typos. When collecting every location, problems are also summarized into one collectionSummary row with trendCount, locationsWithTrends, locationsTotal, locationsWithoutTrends, notAvailableLocations, and failedLocations.

FAQ

Do I need an X/Twitter account? No. This actor works without login, cookies, or an API key.

How many locations can I get trends for? X currently serves trends for around 467 countries and cities; allLocations covers every one of them in a single run.

Can I look up a city instead of a country? Yes — major cities like London, New York, Tokyo, Dubai, and Sydney work by name, as do countries worldwide. For a location not in the friendly list, paste its numeric WOEID, or run allLocations and filter the results by location afterward.

How do I use a WOEID? Paste the number directly into locations. Rows for a WOEID you entered are still labeled with the place name X returns, so the dataset stays readable.

Why is tweetVolume missing on some rows? X only publishes a post-volume figure for a subset of trends. When X doesn't provide one, the field is left out rather than showing a misleading number.

What does a status row mean? It means the location wasn't recognized, X temporarily limited the request, or X doesn't serve trends for that location at all (China, for example). The message field explains what happened so a run never fails silently.

How big is a full allLocations run? It can return roughly 22,000 rows (around 467 locations times up to 50 trends each), plus one collectionSummary row reporting how many locations succeeded, failed, aren't served by X, or returned no trends.

How fresh is the data? X recalculates trends continuously; the asOf field tells you exactly when X computed the list for each location.

Is this affiliated with X? No. This actor reads X's publicly visible trending data and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by X Corp.
