Two calls cover a Trending Now workflow on Trends MCP: get_top_trends lists the current Google Trends board without a keyword, and get_growth then measures one shortened query on google search across 30D, 3M, and 12M windows using the dates the API returns, and recent points in this run used 2026-08-22.

Moderna sat at google search index 39.0 on 2026-08-22 with estimated volume 490,000, up 254.55% over 30 days from 11.0 (volume 138,000) and up 178.57% over 3 months and 12 months from 14.0 (volume 176,000). Fortnite sat at 37.0, up 54.17% over 30 days from 24.0, up 146.67% over 3 months from 15.0, and up 85.0% over 12 months from 20.0. YouTube for fortnite sat at 28.0 the same day, up 64.71% over 30 days from 17.0 and up 154.55% over 3 months from 11.0. For the keyword-volume reference rather than this live board, see the Google Trends API.
Board rows arrive as full query strings, while get_growth needs a shorter keyword that actually resolves, which is why fortnite admin panel codes sat at rank 10 on the August 24, 2026 Google Trends board and the google search follow-up used the token fortnite, returning index 37.0 on 2026-08-22 rather than attempting the full admin-panel phrase.
Lunar eclipses sat at rank 15. The shortened google search keyword lunar eclipse sat at index 8.0, up 700% over 30 days and 3 months from 1.0, and up 300% over 12 months from 2.0. Meghan markle sat at rank 14 on the board and at google search index 14.0, up 27.27% over 30 days from 11.0 and up 16.67% over 3 months from 12.0. Flock cameras sat at rank 9 and at google search index 100.0, up 108.33% over 30 days from 48.0 and up 1011.11% over 3 months from 9.0. Blueberry recall sat at rank 8 and at google search index 100.0, up 4900% over 30 days from 2.0; the 3-month baseline was 0.0, so this page quotes the index rather than a 999999% print.
Supreme sat at rank 13 while google search fell to 49.0, down 15.52% over 30 days from 58.0 (estimated volume 2,180,000 from 2,580,000), down 31.94% over 3 months from 72.0, and down 10.91% over 12 months from 55.0. A live board rank and a 30-day search curve can disagree. Quote both.
Newsrooms, SEO teams, and product analysts pull the live Google Trends board to see which queries just spiked, then run get_growth to test whether the spike has 30-day history or is a one-day flash with a zero baseline that should not be treated as a percent.
Hayden panettiere led the August 24, 2026 board at rank 1. Google search and YouTube both sat at index 100.0 on 2026-08-22 against 0.0 on 2026-07-25, with a low-quality warning that the series is over 90% zeros. Wikipedia growth for Hayden Panettiere returned no_data. Google News Top News on the same 2026-08-24T00:01:33 UTC stamp placed a Hayden Panettiere headline at rank 23. That pattern is a same-day news spike, not a 30-day demand trend.
Insidious on YouTube sat at 61.0, up 662.5% over 30 days from 8.0, up 771.43% over 3 months from 7.0, and up 1120% over 12 months from 5.0. Wikipedia for Insidious used recent_date 2026-07-01 (60 points): index 14.1 and volume 582, down 28.43% over 30 days from 19.7 (volume 751). The wikipedia stamp lags the board. Treat board rank, search index, YouTube index, and wikipedia volume as four products.
Bitcoin on google news sat at 100.0, up 669.23% over 30 days from 13.0, up 525% over 3 months from 16.0, and up 3233.33% over 12 months from 3.0, while google search for bitcoin only moved from 31.0 to 35.0 over 30 days. News heat and search heat split. For headline context around the same hour, see the Google News Top News API.
Zero baselines produce 999999% growth that should not be published as a percent, which is why hayden panettiere at google search index 100.0 on 2026-08-22 against a 0.0 baseline on 2026-07-25 is quoted as an index with a low-quality warning rather than as a percent, and blueberry recall had the same 0.0 baseline on the 3-month window.
Long board strings fail or wander when passed unchanged into get_growth. Nationwide indus foods chicken recall and fortnite admin panel codes need a shorter token. Wikipedia titles with spaces can return no_data (Hayden Panettiere on this run). Wikipedia recent_date can lag the pull day by weeks (Insidious used 2026-07-01). Google search volume on this source is estimated from the index, not an independent count; Chipotle's 12,400,000 and Moderna's 490,000 carry that flag. The board as_of stamp is the freshness signal, not the wall-clock of the HTTP call.
