FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the public trend trackers trends24.in (the current lists and the last 24 hours, every location) and getdaytrends.com (the archive since June 2023 and the top hashtags, countries). They record the trends lists X shows every hour. The Actor does not log in to X and does not use the X API.

Why is tweetCount empty? X stopped showing the number of posts next to most trends. When a list had volumes (part of the 2024-2025 archive), you get them.

How fresh is "now"? The latest hourly list of each location, usually 0-60 minutes old: snapshotTime shows its time in UTC.

Why do I get fewer than 50 trends? Some lists are shorter (smaller locations, or a list being updated), your filters left some out, or with Only new trends most trends were already seen.

Can I get trends of a city in the past? The archive and the top hashtags cover worldwide and the 62 countries. Cities have the current list and the last 24 hours.

Do I need an X (Twitter) account? No.
