IMDb MOVIEmeter rank_change climbers via get_top_trends

Pass sort rank_change and a window on get_top_trends to list IMDb MOVIEmeter climbers versus a prior snapshot, then compare 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, and 30d counts from one Trends MCP account.

Live data as of 2026-08-27

IMDb MOVIEmeter rank_change on Trends MCP is get_top_trends with type IMDb MOVIEmeter, sort rank_change, and a window such as 1d. From the August 27, 2026 pull, the board stamped 2026-08-27T02:01:32 UTC. The 1d window used baseline 2026-08-26T02:01:36 UTC and returned count 0, with a note that everything held or fell. The 3d window used baseline 2026-08-24T02:01:35 UTC and returned count 30. Mutiny (2026) sat at rank 4, prev_rank 81, rank_change 77. The 14d window returned count 0 because no baseline sat within 5 days of 2026-08-13. google search for Mutiny sat at 100.0 on 2026-08-22, up 316.67% over 7 days from 24.0. Free tier access is 100 requests per month.

IMDb 1d returned 0 climbers while 3d returned 30

From the Trends MCP scan of August 27, 2026, IMDb MOVIEmeter sort rank_change stamped 2026-08-27T02:01:32 UTC and filled 0 climber rows on window 1d, 30 on 3d, 30 on 7d, 0 on 14d, and 24 on 30d, so a default sort rank pull at limit 25 never lists these mover fields.

The 3d list and the 7d list on this stamp were the same 30 objects, including the same prev_rank values, even though baseline_ts differed by four days. Quote both responses. Do not assume a longer window rewrites the mover list.

Default sort rank on the same stamp closed at 100: 50 rows at offset 0, 50 at offset 50, then count 0 at offset 100. Rank 1 was The Odyssey (2026). Rank 2 was Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026). The IMDb MOVIEmeter API page still describes a 25-row scan stamped 2026-07-28T22:01:31 UTC. That stamp is the 30d rank_change baseline on this pull. Wikipedia Trending 1d against the same 02:01 baseline returned 27 climbers, led by Buddy (2026 film) at rank 58, prev_rank 188, rank_change 130. Buddy (2026) sat at IMDb rank 88 on the default board and was not on the IMDb 3d climber list.

Exact API calls for climber boards

sort rank_change plus window is a separate get_top_trends request from default sort rank, so a 1d climber pull and a current-rank pull on August 27, 2026 are two requests, and each extra window is another request because window is per call.

The 14d response on this stamp returned count 0 with a note: no baseline snapshot within 5 days of 2026-08-13, retry with window 30d. Short windows work on daily feeds. IMDb snapshots can sit far enough apart that 14d has nothing to compare. The 30d call did resolve, against 2026-07-28T22:01:31 UTC, and returned 24 climbers. MCP clients send the same fields on get_top_trends. Offset and limit behavior is on get_top_trends pagination. For the Google Trends sibling, see Google Trends rank_change. Wikipedia 1d on the same stamp is documented on Wikipedia Trending rank_change.

Exact title matching on IMDb MOVIEmeter 100 versus Google Trends 200 returned one stripped-year hit, Insidious (2010) at IMDb 48 versus insidious at Google 27, so most film demand on this stamp lived on alias joins rather than string equality.

Mutiny (2026) led the 3d climber board and still missed Google Trends 200. Spider-Man: Brand New Day sat at Wikipedia Trending 5 and IMDb 2, with wikipedia time series returning no_data for that title string. ChatGPT sat at Wikipedia 22 and missed IMDb 100.

Growth follow-ups on the same pull day used source google search and youtube (weekly points, recent_date 2026-08-22, 261 points) plus wikipedia where a series existed:

The Odyssey held IMDb rank 1 while google search sat at 19.0, down 81.0% over 30 days from 100.0. Mutiny sat at IMDb 4 after a 77-rank climb, with google search at 100.0, and still missed the live Google Trends board. Live rank, climber rank_change, and get_growth indexes are three different signals. Keyword wikipedia The Odyssey (2026 film) returned no_data; the shorter The Odyssey series is monthly through 2026-07-01, which is why 7D collapsed.

Common questions

Rows become objects with rank, keyword, prev_rank, and rank_change instead of a two-item rank-and-title array. On August 27, 2026 the 1d window stamped 2026-08-27T02:01:32 UTC against baseline 2026-08-26T02:01:36 UTC and returned count 0 with a held-or-fell note. The 3d window returned count 30. The top 3d climber was Mutiny (2026) at rank 4, prev_rank 81, rank_change 77.
Not on this stamp. IMDb MOVIEmeter 1d returned 0, 3d returned 30, 7d returned the same 30 objects including identical prev_rank values, 14d returned count 0 because no baseline sat within 5 days of 2026-08-13, and 30d returned 24. Read the count field and the note. Do not assume a longer lookback lists more movers.
Yes on daily boards, with different fill rates. Wikipedia Trending 1d on this stamp returned 27 climbers against the same 2026-08-26T02:01:36 UTC baseline. Google Trends 1d returned 10. A 1d empty IMDb list does not mean the 1d parameter is invalid. It means nothing on the current 100-title board climbed versus that snapshot.
get_top_trends is counted per feed type and per page. One IMDb MOVIEmeter call with sort rank_change is one request, separate from a default sort rank call. Free covers 100 requests per month. Starter is $19 for 1,000. Extra percent_growth windows inside one get_growth call still count as a single request.
