What YouTube Trending rank_change data shows right now

From the Trends MCP scan of August 26, 2026, YouTube Trending sort rank_change stamped 2026-08-26T20:01:39 UTC and filled 23 climber rows on window 1d, 0 on 3d, 0 on 7d, 0 on 14d, and 1 on 30d, so a default sort rank pull at limit 25 never lists these mover fields.

Shared as_of 2026-08-26T20:01:39 UTC:

YouTube Trending 1d climbers (first 12 of 23):

Default sort rank on the same stamp returned 50 titles at offsets 0, 50, and 100, then 49 titles at offset 150 (ranks 151 through 199), then count 0 at offset 200, for a closed board of 199. Rank 1 on sort rank was the Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton performance. Rank 2 was Avengers Endgame: Encore | Official Trailer | In Theaters Sep 25.

Exact API calls for climber windows

One get_top_trends body switches YouTube Trending from a ranked title list to climber objects: set sort to rank_change, pick a window such as 1d, then read count, baseline_ts, and the note field before trusting the rows, because 3d through 14d can return empty data on the same stamp.

{
  "mode": "get_top_trends",
  "type": "YouTube Trending",
  "sort": "rank_change",
  "window": "1d",
  "limit": 50
}

{
  "mode": "get_top_trends",
  "type": "YouTube Trending",
  "limit": 50,
  "offset": 0
}

The first call returned 23 objects on this stamp. Offset 25 on the same 1d window returned count 0, so the climber list fit in one page. The second call is the current board without mover fields. Each type-plus-page pair is one request. The YouTube Trending API page documents default sort rank. The Google Trends rank change API page uses the same sort and window parameters on a different feed. Window values accepted here were 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, and 30d.

How window length changes the climber count

Longer YouTube windows did not add movers on this stamp: 1d listed 23 climbs, 3d listed none because titles held or fell, 7d and 14d listed none because no title appeared in both snapshots, and 30d listed a single Roblox shorts row.

The 3d note said no items on the current board climbed versus baseline 2026-08-24T02:01:35 UTC. The 7d note said the board turned over completely versus 2026-08-20T02:01:39 UTC. The 14d note said the same versus 2026-08-13T02:01:40 UTC. The 30d window versus 2026-07-28T02:01:39 UTC returned one row at rank 65, prev_rank 142, rank_change 77. That pattern is the opposite of a feed where 30d outfills 1d. Read count. A 7d call that returns count 0 is still a valid response, not a missing board.

Default sort rank still had a full 199-row list while 7d rank_change returned empty. Clients that treat an empty climber array as "YouTube is quiet" will misread a complete turnover as silence.

Same-stamp climber counts on other feeds

The same 2026-08-26T20:01:39 UTC as_of produced six different 1d fill rates, from Google Play count 1 to App Store Top Free count 41, so a single window string is not a portable expectation across Trends MCP live boards and must be read per type.

Wikipedia Trending 1d returned 25 rows at offset 0 and 2 rows at offset 25, including ChatGPT at rank 22, prev_rank 23, rank_change 1. Buddy (2026 film) led Wikipedia climbers at +130; YouTube held BUDDY | Final Trailer (2026) | In Theaters FRIDAY! at rank 43, prev_rank 49, rank_change 6 on the 1d YouTube list. Google Trends 1d also listed avengers endgame encore at rank 71, prev_rank 138, rank_change 67, next to YouTube default rank 2 for the Encore trailer. The Wikipedia Trending rank change API and TikTok Trending Searches rank change API pages record earlier stamps on those feeds.

google search follow-ups on climber titles

Live YouTube rank_change is a snapshot delta on 2026-08-26T20:01:39 UTC, so get_growth on a shortened title tells whether search demand moved with the climb or sat still while the video only shuffled the board, which is what happened for dolly parton at google search 1.0.

Limits of YouTube rank_change payloads

YouTube climber rows are video titles, board length moves by a row or two across stamps, and empty windows are documented states, so copy-paste dashboards that assume a 25-row board or a full 1d-through-30d ladder will misread this feed on the August 26, 2026 stamp.

Default sort rank closed at 199 on this stamp (50 plus 50 plus 50 plus 49). A prior same-day stamp filled 200. Treat 199 versus 200 as a length wobble. Title strings can include curly quotes, trademark marks, and first-person phrasing; reprinting those strings in downstream prose can break validators even when the payload is valid JSON. Emoji prefixes appeared on the 30d climber and on several default-rank rows past 100. sort rank_change pagination at offset 25 on 1d returned count 0 after the first page already held all 23 movers. Complete turnover on 7d and 14d is a note plus empty data, not an HTTP error. get_growth is a separate request from get_top_trends. Free covers 100 requests per month. Starter is $19 for 1,000, Pro is $49 for 5,000, and Business is $199 for 25,000.
