growth = client.get_growth(
    source="amazon",
    keyword="air fryer",
    percent_growth=[
        CustomGrowthPeriod(name="holiday lift", recent="2025-12-31", baseline="2025-10-01")

Async

All three methods are available on AsyncTrendsMcpClient. Run multiple platform queries concurrently:

import asyncio
import os
from trendsmcp import AsyncTrendsMcpClient

async def main():
    client = AsyncTrendsMcpClient(api_key=os.environ["TRENDSMCP_API_KEY"])

    google, youtube, reddit = await asyncio.gather(
        client.get_trends(source="google search", keyword="AI"),
        client.get_trends(source="youtube", keyword="AI"),
        client.get_trends(source="reddit", keyword="AI"),
    )
    print(f"Google: {google[-1].value}  YouTube: {youtube[-1].value}  Reddit: {reddit[-1].value}")

asyncio.run(main())

Error handling

from trendsmcp import TrendsMcpClient, TrendsMcpError
import os

client = TrendsMcpClient(api_key=os.environ["TRENDSMCP_API_KEY"])

try:
    series = client.get_trends(source="google search", keyword="bitcoin")
except TrendsMcpError as e:
    print(e.status)   # HTTP status code, e.g. 429
    print(e.code)     # Machine-readable code, e.g. "rate_limited"
    print(e.message)  # Human-readable message

Use with Pandas

import pandas as pd
import os
from trendsmcp import TrendsMcpClient

client = TrendsMcpClient(api_key=os.environ["TRENDSMCP_API_KEY"])
series = client.get_trends(source="google search", keyword="bitcoin")
df = pd.DataFrame([vars(p) for p in series])
print(df.tail())

Supported sources

source What it measures
"google search" Google Search volume
"google images" Google Images search volume
"google news" Google News search volume
"google shopping" Google Shopping purchase intent
"youtube" YouTube search volume
"tiktok" TikTok hashtag volume
"reddit" Reddit mention and discussion volume

"npm" npm package weekly downloads
"steam" Steam concurrent player count

All values are normalized 0 to 100 so you can compare across sources directly. See trendsmcp.ai/docs for the full and always up-to-date source list.


Why not pytrends?

pytrends scrapes Google and has been archived since 2023. It breaks regularly, returns 429 errors, requires proxies, and only covers Google Search with relative scores. No absolute volume. No other platforms.

trendsmcp is a managed REST API. One key, all sources, no scraping, no 429s, actively maintained.
