Social Trends · 5 Platforms

Never charged when a platform goes quiet. What is trending right now on X, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube Charts and Google — five platforms in one run, normalised to one row shape with rank, metric and link.

Unofficial. This actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by X, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube or Google. All product names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used here only to describe which public surfaces this tool reads.

Issues answered in about 3 hours.

Every row carries charged and missReason, so you can reconcile the invoice from the dataset itself without opening the console. Only rows with charged: true were billed.

Output

One row shape for all five platforms, so they stack into a single table:

charged	platform	chart	rank	title	kind	metricName	metricValue	url
true	x	trends	1	#MANIFEST	hashtag	tweetVolume	null	http://twitter.com/search?q=%23MANIFEST
true	tiktok	top_hashtags_7d	1	#dollyparton	hashtag	viewCount	852900000	https://www.tiktok.com/tag/dollyparton
true	pinterest	top_trends	2	sterling point	search	searchCount	100	https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=sterling%20point
true	youtube	TRENDING_CHART	1	KATSEYE (캣츠아이) 'Hootie Frutti' Official MV	video	null	null	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is8UDe2PhKQ
true	google	daily_search_trends	1	palmeiras vs santos	search	approxTraffic	2000	https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=palmeiras%20vs%20santos&geo=US

(Real rows from US runs. metricValue is null where the platform does not publish a number for that chart — see "What each platform actually gives you".)

Browse the full sample dataset → — one real US run across X, Pinterest, YouTube Charts and Google (46 trends), ending with the run's own summary row. Nothing is trimmed for the demo.

Every row also carries country, place, metricText (the value exactly as published), capturedAt (upstream's own timestamp for the data), fetchedAt, status, retryable, statusReason, schemaVersion, and a details object holding that platform's native fields. The last row of every run is a summary row with delivered, stoppedBy, resumeCursor and chargedEvents.

What each platform actually gives you

Platform	What the rows are	Rank order	Metric
X (Twitter)	the 50 trends X lists for that place, hashtags and plain searches	X's own order	tweetVolume — X publishes no post count on this endpoint, so it is normally null. A 0 would claim nobody posted; null says "not published"
TikTok	the top trending hashtags TikTok shows publicly — the top 3 for each of its 7-, 30- and 90-day windows (top_hashtags_7d/30d/90d), about 9 rows per run	TikTok's own rank, restarting per window	viewCount (TikTok's own shorthand kept verbatim in metricText); post count and category in details
Pinterest	top search terms, with Pinterest's week-, month- and year-on-year change series in details	Pinterest's own ranking	searchCount
YouTube Charts	trending MUSIC videos and artists — TRENDING_CHART (30 videos), then TOP_VIEWS_CHART (100 videos, 100 artists)	chart position, restarting per chart	viewCount on the top-views charts; the trending chart publishes none
Google	the daily search trends feed, with the news stories Google attaches to each one	Google's own order	approxTraffic — a published floor ("500+"), kept verbatim in metricText

TikTok here means exactly what TikTok shows without a login. TikTok's trend pages display the top ~3 hashtags per time window publicly and keep the rest of the list behind a login. This actor reads all three windows — 7, 30 and 90 days — and delivers those top rows honestly labelled, instead of pretending the full list is available. If you need deeper TikTok hashtag lists, this is not the actor for it.

YouTube here means YouTube Charts, and Charts is music. YouTube retired its general Trending feed as a product — the old endpoint answers with an empty "try searching" page on every client. This actor does not pretend otherwise: it returns the charts that still publish, and labels every row with which chart it came from. If you need general video, this is not the actor for it.

Pinterest data lags about six days. The actor asks Pinterest which date it actually has before requesting a window, so you get the freshest data that exists rather than an empty "today".

Links: X's link is X's own, passed through unchanged. YouTube links are built from the video or channel id in the response. Pinterest and Google publish no per-trend link, so those are search links built from the term.

Countries

country takes a two-letter code, and every platform is asked for the same one so the rows line up.

WORLDWIDE works on X only — X is the one platform that publishes a real worldwide trend list. TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube Charts and Google publish per country and have no worldwide feed, so on those four WORLDWIDE comes back as an uncharged row naming the fix. This actor never substitutes another country's data instead.

X serves trends by WOEID and carries a fixed list — WORLDWIDE, AE, AR, AT, AU, BE, BH, BR, BY, CA, CH, CL, CO, DE, DK, DZ, EC, EG, ES, FR, GB, GH, GR, ID, IE, IL, IN, IT, JO, JP, KE, KR, KW, LB, MX, MY, NG, NL, NO, NZ, OM, PE, PH, PK, PL, PT, QA, RU, SA, SE, SG, TH, TR, UA, US, VE, VN, ZA. Every one of those was probed live against the endpoint. A country outside the list comes back as an uncharged row naming the fix, not as an empty result.

TikTok's trend pages carry their own fixed list — AE, AR, AU, BR, CA, CO, DE, EG, ES, FR, GB, ID, IL, IT, JP, KR, MX, MY, PH, SA, SG, TH, TR, TW, US, VN, ZA — taken from the page's own country selector. Same rule: a country outside it is an uncharged row naming the fix, before anything is fetched.

What you are never charged for

situation	status	run status
A platform rate-limited, blocked or dropped us	platform_unavailable	SUCCEEDED — re-runnable, and the row says so
A platform answered normally and published nothing	empty_upstream	SUCCEEDED
A platform does not carry the country you asked for (X's WOEID list; TikTok's country list; WORLDWIDE outside X)	unsupported_country	SUCCEEDED — the row names the fix
A platform name or country we could not read	input_error	SUCCEEDED — the row names the fix
Your own maxItems / maxRunSeconds / cost cap	stopped_at_limit	SUCCEEDED — summary row + resumeCursor

A refusal is reported as a refusal, never dressed up as "this platform has no trends". Two of these platforms can answer HTTP 200 with an error inside the body or with nothing in it at all — charging is gated on rows that actually parsed, never on the status line.

This actor may fail when the platform changes things — failed items are never charged.

Limits are hard limits

limitPerPlatform, maxItems and maxRunSeconds stop the run exactly where you set them. The run still finishes successfully, the summary row names which limit bound, and resumeCursor lists the platforms that were not reached.

FAQ

Does {} cost anything? No. With no platforms selected it returns five uncharged sample rows — one per platform — so you can see the exact output shape before spending anything. That run contacts nothing.

Why is metricValue empty on some rows? Because that platform does not publish a number for that chart. Inventing one would be worse than leaving it out; metricName is null too, so the empty is unambiguous.

Why does TikTok return about 9 rows when the others return dozens? Because that is everything TikTok shows without a login: the top ~3 hashtags for each of its 7-, 30- and 90-day windows. The rest of the list sits behind a TikTok login. This actor delivers exactly what the public page shows — around 9 honestly-labelled rows — rather than selling a "full list" it cannot fetch.

Can I run one platform on a schedule? Yes — pass a single value in platforms. Each platform is fetched independently, and one platform being down never blocks the others.

How do I join the five platforms? They already share a schema. Group by platform + chart, sort by rank, and use title as the term. capturedAt tells you how fresh each platform's data actually is.
