🌍 TrendHunter AI
TrendHunter AI is an intelligent Apify Actor that scouts trending tech and news stories from any specific region of the globe. It aggregates local sources (like Qiita in Japan or Meneame in Spain), auto-detects English content to save costs, and translates foreign "Alpha" into English using Lingo.dev.
🚀 Features
- Universal Region Support: Just type a country name (e.g., "Vietnam", "Brazil", "Norway"). The Actor intelligently routes to specific high-quality aggregators or falls back to scraping local Reddit communities.
- Smart Source Mapping:
- Japan → Scrapes
Qiitaandr/Japan. - Spain → Scrapes
Meneameandr/es. - India → Scrapes
r/developersIndiaandr/india. - Global → Scrapes
r/worldnewsandr/technology.
- Japan → Scrapes
- Cost Optimization: It automatically detects if a story is already in English (common in US/UK trends) and skips the translation API call, saving you credits.
- AI Translation: Uses Lingo.dev SDK to provide accurate, context-aware translations for non-English content.
- Lean Data: Outputs clean, lightweight JSON suitable for feeding into other AI agents or dashboards.
📦 Output
