Live data as of 2026-08-25
A Reddit Hot Posts vs World News comparison on Trends MCP is two get_top_trends calls: type Reddit Hot Posts and type Reddit World News. From the August 25, 2026 pull, both boards stamped 2026-08-25T00:01:40 UTC with 25 rows. Offset 25 returned count 0 on each feed. Hot Posts rank 1 was a birthday cake thread. World News rank 1 was the Ukraine live thread on day 1643. Title overlap across the 50 rows was zero. canada on source reddit sat at index 94.0 with volume 344 on 2026-08-24, up 239.35% from 27.7 / 179 over 7 days. Google News for Canada tariffs sat at 46.0 on 2026-08-22, up 170.59% from 17.0. Free tier access is 100 requests per month.
From the Trends MCP scan of August 25, 2026, Reddit Hot Posts and Reddit World News both stamped 2026-08-25T00:01:40 UTC, each returning 25 rows at limit 25, with offset 25 empty, so the join is a closed 25-versus-25 cut instead of a paged 200-row chart.

canada is the split signal. reddit index 94.0 / 344 on 2026-08-24 sits next to World News ranks 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, and 23, while Hot Posts had no Canada title in 25 rows. worldnews 14D index +4514.29% from a 0.7 baseline is a low-baseline print; quote volume 1,779 versus 1,017 (+74.93%) instead. For the Hot Posts board alone, see the Reddit Hot Posts API.
Two get_top_trends calls cover the snapshot: type Reddit Hot Posts for front-page threads and type Reddit World News for the news-desk board, each counting as one request against the monthly quota on the August 25, 2026 pull. Leave limit at 25. Offset 25 returned count 0, so extra pages do not exist on these feeds.

Join on shortened topic tokens, not raw titles. "Trump says U.S. will hike Canada auto tariffs to 50%" on World News rank 10 and keyword canada on source reddit are a join. "Eclipse in Spain" on Hot Posts rank 16 is a google search follow-up on lunar eclipse (index 8.0 on 2026-08-22), not a reddit community name. Offset details for feeds that do page past 25 live on get_top_trends offset and limit.
Hot Posts on this stamp was a lifestyle board of cakes, squirrels, cats, bucket lists, me_irl, and a 50,000-tree donation story, while World News was Ukraine, Iran, and a Canada tariff stack that occupied eight of the 25 headline ranks.
The Albania protest at Hot Posts rank 25 is the one geopolitics leak onto the front page. google news for Kushner Albania sat at 10.0 on 2026-08-22, down 16.67% from 12.0 on 2026-08-15. 14D and 30D printed 999999% against a 0.0 baseline with a low-quality warning that the series is over 90% zeros. Quote the index 10.0. Skip the percent.
iran as a reddit community returned no_data. Iran still filled World News ranks 2, 3, 17, and 20, and Google News rank 3. Board membership is not a guarantee that source reddit has a matching handle. ukraine as a community sat at 13.0 / 89 on 2026-08-24, down 35.96% over 7 days, while World News still opened on the day-1643 live thread. For the World News board alone, see the Reddit World News API.
Growth follow-ups on the same pull used source reddit with 25 to 29 daily points ending 2026-08-24, so 3M, 6M, and 12M hit date_out_of_range; prefer 7D, 14D, and 30D on this source, and always quote volume beside the 0-100 index.
askreddit led volume at 7,300 on 2026-08-24 (index 36.3, down 11.03% over 7 days from 8,212). worldnews sat at 1,779 (index 32.3). pics sat at 679 (index 12.8, up 68.42% over 7 days). aww sat at 518 (index 7.1, down 42.28%). news printed index 0.0 with volume 885, so the -100.0% index print hides a -28.51% volume move from 1,238. reddit volume is not a public subscriber count; treat it as the series unit Trends MCP returns for that source.
canada is the community that moved with the World News board. Index 94.0 / 344 versus 27.7 / 179 over 7 days (+239.35% / +92.18% volume), versus 22.1 / 165 over 14 days (+325.34% / +108.48%), versus 10.8 / 137 over 30 days (+770.37% / +151.09%). Google Search for Canada tariffs sat at 17.0 on 2026-08-22, up 325.0% from 4.0, while Google News sat at 46.0, up 170.59% from 17.0 over 7 days and up 666.67% from 6.0 over 14 days. Carney search sat at 14.0, up 40.0% from 10.0. Community windows and search windows use different calendars (Aug 24 versus Aug 22). For subscriber-style reddit series, see Reddit subreddit growth.
Reddit Hot Posts and Reddit World News both stop at 25 rows, reddit growth history is about a month of daily points, and google news can print 999999% when the baseline index is 0.0. Quote recent_value and recent_volume next to those percents, and shorten headlines before the keyword.
lunar eclipse is the Hot Posts neighbor that sits off the World News board. Hot Posts rank 16 was Eclipse in Spain. Google Trends later that morning (as_of 2026-08-25T06:01:42 UTC) listed lunar eclipse august 2026 at rank 16. google search sat at 8.0 on 2026-08-22, down 33.33% from 12.0 over 7 days, yet up 300.0% from 2.0 over 14 days and up 700.0% from 1.0 over 30 days. youtube sat at 3.0, down 50.0% from 6.0 over 7 days. A 7D print and a 30D print disagree because the eclipse spike is inside the 30-day window and already fading on the 7-day window.
Ukraine google news sat flat at 23.0 over 7 days, up 109.09% from 11.0 over 14 days and up 283.33% from 6.0 over 30 days. Iran google news sat at 24.0, down 17.24% from 29.0 over 7 days, up 41.18% from 17.0 over 14 days. bitcoin search sat at 33.0, up 22.22% from 27.0 over 7 days, and Google Trends rank 2 was bitcoin price on the 06:01:42 stamp. That query was absent from both Reddit boards. For headline ranks without Reddit, see the Google News Top News API.
Free covers 100 requests per month on every source, including both live boards, so a daily two-board pull at limit 25 uses two requests and still leaves room for get_growth follow-ups on names such as canada at World News rank 10.
Starter is $19 for 1,000 requests, Pro $49 for 5,000, Business $199 for 25,000. Annual billing saves 20%. Check current pricing on the site before budgeting. Extra percent_growth windows inside one get_growth call still count as a single request. A practical loop on August 25, 2026 data: pull both boards at limit 25 (2 requests), list the topic tokens, then spend 8 to 12 get_growth requests on community names and shortened headlines. That stays inside the free tier for a daily job.
