Pull Reddit World News and Google Trends in one Trends MCP account, then join headline tokens against google search, Google News, Wikipedia, and X.
Live data as of 2026-08-27
A Reddit World News vs Google Trends comparison on Trends MCP is two get_top_trends calls: type Reddit World News and type Google Trends. From the August 27, 2026 pull, World News stamped 2026-08-27T00:01:30 UTC and returned 25 rows at limit 50, then count 0 at offset 25. Google Trends stamped 2026-08-27T12:01:40 UTC, 12 hours later, and filled ranks 1 through 200 across four pages, then count 0 at offset 200. Nepal joined World News ranks 8 and 10, Google Trends rank 3, Google News rank 1, Wikipedia rank 38, and X rank 16. Dolly Parton sat at Google Trends rank 1 and Wikipedia rank 1 with no World News title. Free tier access is 100 requests per month.
From the Trends MCP scan of August 27, 2026, Nepal sat on Reddit World News, Google Trends, Google News Top News, Wikipedia Trending, and X, while Dolly Parton held Google Trends rank 1 and Wikipedia rank 1 with zero World News titles in 25, so a World News export is not a substitute for a Google live-board export.
The boards are not the same stamp. World News and Reddit Hot Posts both stamped 2026-08-27T00:01:30 UTC. Google Trends, Google News Top News, Wikipedia Trending, and X (Twitter) Trending stamped 2026-08-27T12:01:40 UTC.

wikipedia get_growth for keyword 2026 Nepal floods returned no_data even though Wikipedia Trending listed that title at rank 38. Quote the live rank. reddit 12M failed with date_out_of_range; the series starts 2026-07-31. For the World News board alone, see the Reddit World News API.
Two get_top_trends calls cover the snapshot: type Reddit World News for r/worldnews headlines and type Google Trends for Google's live search board, each counting as one request against the monthly quota on the August 27, 2026 pull, with Google Trends needing limit 50 plus offset 50, 100, and 150 because default 25 hides ranks 26 through 200.

Join on shortened tokens, not full headlines. "Nepal flash flood tears through valley leaving 400 tourists missing, including Americans" at World News rank 8 and "nepal" at Google Trends rank 3 are a join. "Zelensky awarded Elon Musk the Order of Liberty" at World News rank 25 joins "musk" at Google Trends rank 128. Offset details for feeds that page past 25 live on get_top_trends offset and limit.
Reddit World News returned 25 rows at limit 50, then count 0 at offset 25, while Google Trends filled 200 on a stamp 12 hours later, so a default limit 25 join sees the full World News board and still misses every Google rank after 25, and the two as_of clocks are not interchangeable.
World News and Reddit Hot Posts shared 2026-08-27T00:01:30 UTC. Google Trends, Google News Top News (38 rows at limit 50), Wikipedia Trending, and X (Twitter) Trending shared 2026-08-27T12:01:40 UTC. Raising World News limit to 50 did not invent ranks 26 through 50. Offset 25 returned count 0 with an empty data array.
The Reddit World News API page still describes a 25-row scan from August 8, 2026. This pull also closed at 25. The durable limit held. The August 8 sample headlines (Nintendo memes, Canada jobs, Meta reels) are gone. Rank 1 on that older scan was a moderator-recruitment post. Rank 1 on this scan is the Ukraine live thread.
Source reddit on get_growth takes a subreddit name, not a person. Keyword worldnews (no r/ prefix) sat at index 16.4 on 2026-08-27, down 56.38% over 7 days from 37.6, with volume 1,324 versus 1,747 (-24.21%). The 30-day window sat at 16.4 versus 13.7 (+19.71%), volume 1,324 versus 1,272. Quote both the live 25-row board and that subscriber series. They are different tools.
sort rank_change on Reddit World News accepted 1d, 7d, and 30d on this stamp and returned count 0 each time, with two different notes, so a climber pull is not a current-headline pull and the note text is not a single rule across windows.
| Window | Baseline | Count | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1d | 2026-08-26T00:01:34 UTC | 0 | held or fell |
| 7d | 2026-08-20T00:01:40 UTC | 0 | complete turnover; use sort rank |
| 30d | 2026-07-27T20:01:34 UTC | 0 | held or fell |
1d and 7d used the 00:01 clock. 30d used 20:01. Google Trends 1d on the 12:01 stamp returned count 12, led by batman knightfall part 1 at rank 35, prev_rank 137, rank_change 102. canada sat on that Google 1d list at rank 17, prev_rank 32, rank_change 15. Wikipedia Trending 1d returned count 12, led by Buddy (2026 film) at rank 69, prev_rank 188, rank_change 119. A World News 1d list of zero rows does not mean the 1d parameter is invalid. It means this 25-row news desk had no overlapping climber versus that snapshot.
Read count before treating a held-or-fell note as proof that yesterday's headlines are still on the board. The 7d note on the same feed says no item appears in both snapshots. Those two notes can both print count 0. For a Hot Posts join against Google Trends, see Reddit Hot Posts vs Google Trends.

Ukraine can occupy the World News rank 1 live thread plus ranks 4, 5, 17, and 24 inside a 25-row board while Google Trends 200 lists zero ukraine queries, so a geopolitics desk and a consumer search board can share a calendar day and still refuse a title join.
google search for keyword ukraine sat at 3.0 on 2026-08-22, down 25.0% over 7 days from 4.0 and down 25.0% over 30 days from 4.0. Quote World News ranks plus 3.0, not a Google Trends board position that does not exist. Iran followed the same split: World News ranks 2 and 23, Google News ranks 6 and 10, google search 7.0 down 22.22% over 7 days from 9.0, no iran row in Google Trends 200. mojtaba khamenei sat at Google Trends rank 187. That is not an Iran-war headline match.
Dolly Parton went the other way. Google Trends listed dolly parton at rank 1, dolly parton husband at 10, and dolly parton tattoos at 160. Wikipedia Trending listed Dolly Parton at rank 1, Stella Parton at 7, Dollywood at 17, and Jolene at 47. Reddit Hot Posts listed Buckingham Palace at rank 6, Dolly Parton's Instagram at 11, the Eminem letter at 12, and the Empire State Building at 14. Google News listed a Dollywood mourners story at rank 23. X listed Dolly at rank 41 and Jolene at 50. World News 25 listed zero Dolly Parton titles. google search sat at 1.0, flat over 7 days from 1.0. The 30-day window printed a dummy percent off a 0.0 baseline. Keep 1.0.
Tim Curry sat at Google Trends rank 2, Wikipedia rank 2, Hot Posts rank 2, and Google News rank 25, with google search 0.0 and youtube 1.0 down 50.0% over 7 days from 2.0. World News 25 had no matching headline. Celebrity death queries can flood search, Wikipedia, and Hot Posts and still leave the world-news desk on Ukraine, Iran, Nepal, and Canada.
bitcoin price sat at Google Trends rank 7 with google search 34.0, up 21.43% over 7 days from 28.0. World News 25 had no bitcoin headline. CIA Moscow sat at World News ranks 6 and 12 and Google News rank 4, with no cia row in Google Trends 200. Token joins under-count related rows. Weekly google search can sit at 21.0 while nepal already holds Google Trends rank 3. Quote the live ranks, then attach the weekly index with its 2026-08-22 date.
