# Trends and topics: What is trending right now?

Trends and topics runs on 8 platforms: the example run makes 3 calls and costs at most $0.0060.

Gets the trending board (each platform's default one) of every platform you pick, as one table with a platform column: rank, topic, heat. Every platform is one call charged on its own.

- Example run: $0.0060 (at most. A failed call is never charged)
- Calls: 3 (with the example inputs)
- Hard ceiling: 8 calls, no run is opened above $0.0600

## Ask it like this

- What is trending on Douyin, Weibo and B站 right now?
- Give me today's hot topics on X and Reddit, and three content ideas that fit an outdoor brand.
- Which topics are on more than one platform's board right now?

## What it does

Four steps. Only the second calls endpoints, so only the second costs money.

1. Show the plan first: Free, and needs no key: the most calls and the most money this run can come to.

```bash
dataxapi run trends platforms=douyin,weibo,bilibili --plan
```

2. Run it, capped at that amount: Each line is one endpoint of the example run, at its listed price.

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Douyin hot search board](https://dataxapi.com/apis/douyin/trends/list/) `GET /v1/douyin/trends/list` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 |
| [Weibo hot search board](https://dataxapi.com/apis/weibo/trends/list/) `GET /v1/weibo/trends/list` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 |
| [Bilibili hot searches](https://dataxapi.com/apis/bilibili/trends/list/) `GET /v1/bilibili/trends/list` | 1 × $0.0020 | $0.0020 |

3 calls · at most $0.0060. A call that fails is not charged. The run stops rather than spend more than its cap.

```bash
dataxapi run trends platforms=douyin,weibo,bilibili --yes --max-spend 0.006 --out trends.csv
```

3. Line everything up in one table: 4 columns, the same on every platform; a column a platform does not give is empty. No call, no cost.

4. Your AI reads the table and answers: What the table means is for your AI to say. It ends with where the data came from and when.

## What you get back

An illustration of the table, with the task's real columns. The names and figures in it are made up.

| Platform | Rank | Topic | Heat |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| douyin | 1 | 秋天的第一场露营 | 11872340 |
| weibo | 1 | 返程高峰 | 2384112 |
| bilibili | 1 | 十月新番开播 | 894021 |

All 4 columns: `platform` (Platform), `rank` (Rank), `name` (Topic), `heat` (Heat)

## Inputs it needs

|  |  |  | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `platforms` | platforms, up to 8 | The platforms to look at, at most 8 | `douyin, weibo, bilibili` |
