Live ranked Wikipedia Trending articles as structured JSON through one get_top_trends call. Follow up with wikipedia page-view growth on the same titles.
Live data as of 2026-08-03
The Wikipedia Trending API on Trends MCP returns today's ranked article titles as JSON from one get_top_trends call with type Wikipedia Trending. From the August 3, 2026 scan (as_of_ts 2026-08-03T04:01:36 UTC), the feed returned 25 articles at limit 25 and offset 0. Rank 1 was Spider-Man: Brand New Day; rank 2 was SummerSlam (2026); rank 3 was The Odyssey (2026 film). A free tier covers 100 requests per month. This page shows the exact call, the live board, and page-view growth figures that separate a trending title from sustained Wikipedia demand.
From the Trends MCP scan of August 3, 2026, the Wikipedia Trending board returned these 15 ranked articles:
| Rank | Article title |
|---|---|
| 1 | Spider-Man: Brand New Day |
| 2 | SummerSlam (2026) |
| 3 | The Odyssey (2026 film) |
| 4 | Nirmal Purja |
| 5 | 2026 Commonwealth Games medal table |
| 6 | Vincent Pastore |
| 7 | 2026 Commonwealth Games |
| 8 | Tom Holland |
| 9 | Zendaya |
| 10 | Pan Am Flight 103 |
| 11 | .xyz |
| 12 | India at the 2026 Commonwealth Games |
| 13 | Tarik Skubal |
| 14 | Odyssey |
| 15 | Deaths in 2026 |
The board count was 25. Film and wrestling titles occupied ranks 1 through 3, with Tom Holland and Zendaya at ranks 8 and 9. Commonwealth Games pages held ranks 5, 7, and 12. That cluster is useful for editors who need to know which article titles are absorbing attention on the same day Google and social boards move.
Two calls cover most Wikipedia trend research. get_top_trends with type Wikipedia Trending returns the current ranked titles. get_growth with source wikipedia and an article keyword returns percentage moves and page-view volumes when history exists. Google Search follow-ups use the same human-readable keyword when a Wikipedia series is missing for a disambiguated title.
{
"type": "Wikipedia Trending",
"limit": 25,
"offset": 0
}
The August 3, 2026 pull used offset 0 and returned count 25. limit accepts values up to 200. Prefer REST mode get_top_trends for the board and mode get_growth for period math; MCP clients call the same tools by name.
Shorter article titles returned the cleanest wikipedia growth series. Zendaya rose 107.58% over 30 days, 110.03% over 3 months, and 1,012.5% over 6 months, with recent_volume 2,191,805 page views versus 1,173,776 (30D), 1,162,815 (3M), and 402,984 (6M). Tom Holland rose 172.73% over 30 days and 605.88% over 3 months, with recent_volume 3,028 versus 1,542 and 1,015. SummerSlam rose 524.14% over 30 days, 805% over 3 months, and 686.96% over 6 months, with recent_volume 389 versus 127, 111, and 115. Spider-Man rose 32.79% over 30 days, 131.43% over 3 months, and 149.23% over 6 months, with recent_volume 701 versus 607, 483, and 473.
Exact parenthetical board titles often miss. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, SummerSlam (2026), The Odyssey (2026 film), Nirmal Purja, and Vincent Pastore each returned no_data on wikipedia growth during this run. When that happens, shorten the title (SummerSlam, Spider-Man) or switch to google search. On Google Search, Spider-Man Brand New Day rose 342.11% over 7 days and 740% over 30 days; SummerSlam rose 240% over 7 days and 750% over 30 days.
Wikipedia Trending answers which encyclopedia articles are absorbing clicks today. Google Trends answers which search queries are rising. On August 3, 2026 both surfaces pointed at Spider-Man and SummerSlam, but Wikipedia also surfaced Commonwealth Games medal pages and .xyz, which are encyclopedia-native curiosities rather than pure search breakouts. Use Wikipedia when the job is article traffic or knowledge-base demand; use Google when the job is query intent.
News desks that already pull Google News Top News can add Wikipedia Trending as a second confirmation that a name has become a destination page, not only a headline. Rank 10 Pan Am Flight 103 and rank 19 on the fuller board (2022 Idaho student murders) show how anniversary and crime pages can climb without a new box-office spike.
SEO and knowledge-graph teams watch which entity pages are climbing so content briefs match real article demand. Entertainment PR teams track Tom Holland and Zendaya page-view growth when a Marvel weekend is in flight. Sports desks watch SummerSlam and Commonwealth Games titles the same way. Researchers who need a daily attention list without scraping Wikimedia dumps get 25 ranked strings in one authenticated call.
A practical loop: pull Wikipedia Trending at limit 25, keep the top 10, then call get_growth with source wikipedia on each short title. If the call returns no_data, retry without the year or film suffix, then fall back to google search. The August 3, 2026 Zendaya and SummerSlam figures show when page views confirm the board; the Brand New Day no_data result shows when the fallback path is required.
Wikipedia Trending is a ranked title board, not a full page-view dump for every language. Growth history for wikipedia keywords is coarser than Google Search in this dataset: several successful series resolved to monthly points dated 2026-07-01 rather than daily August stamps, and 7D/14D windows for Tom Holland collapsed to the same point. Treat 30D, 3M, and 6M as the reliable presets for wikipedia until denser history exists for a title.
Disambiguated titles with years in parentheses frequently return no_data even when the short form works. Do not invent page-view counts for those misses. The board also mixes evergreen lists (Deaths in 2026) with event pages; a high rank on a list page is not the same signal as a biography spike. Pair Wikipedia with YouTube trends when the question is video search demand rather than encyclopedia traffic.
