Cross-Platform Trend Validation Funnel
Promote a topic only when X, Reddit, YouTube and TikTok all surge at once, killing one-platform fads
https://apidirect.io/mcp?token=YOUR_API_KEY
Validate whether {topic} is genuinely surging across platforms before I build content around it
cross-platform-trend-validation-funnel.
Any agent can also call get_skill(skill_id="cross-platform-trend-validation-funnel") to pull these steps on demand.
What it does
Single-platform spikes are often noise. Requiring fresh momentum across four independent platforms — live trends, hot Reddit, this-week YouTube supply, and 7-day TikTok traction — filters real surges from manufactured ones.
Who it's for: Content strategists, trend investors, and brand marketers
Inputs
| Input | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
topic |
Yes | The topic, hashtag concept, or keyword to validate | tinned fish recipes |
trend_woeid |
No | WOEID for the trend check (1 = Worldwide) | 1 |
How your agent runs it
-
1
twitter_trends(woeid={trend_woeid})Check whether {topic} or a close variant appears in the live trend list and capture its tweet volume as the first momentum gate.
-
2
search_reddit(query={topic}, sort_by=hot, page=1, get_sentiment=true)Confirm Reddit communities are actively surfacing the topic in hot right now and gauge whether chatter is positive or skeptical.
-
3
search_youtube(query={topic}, upload_date=this_week, get_sentiment=true)Measure fresh creator supply this week; a rising count of new uploads signals real production interest, not a one-off.
-
4
search_tiktok(query={topic}, publish_time=7, sort_by=most_liked, get_sentiment=true)Confirm short-form traction in the last 7 days and keep only if top videos show recent high-like velocity.
-
5
search_tiktok_users(query={topic}, pages=1)Identify the accounts driving TikTok traction and their follower and video counts to judge whether momentum is creator-led or organic.

SKILL: Cross-Platform Trend Validation Funnel
Single-platform spikes are often noise. Requiring fresh momentum across four independent platforms — live trends, hot Reddit, this-week YouTube supply, and 7-day TikTok traction — filters real surges from manufactured ones.
You are running this skill on API Direct via its MCP tools. Execute the steps below yourself by calling the named tools in order — values in <angle brackets> come from a previous step. Then deliver the result described at the end.
INPUTS:
- topic (required): <topic — ASK THE USER>
- trend_woeid (optional): (optional — e.g. 1)
STEPS:
1. Tool `twitter_trends` — twitter_trends(woeid=<trend_woeid>)
Check whether <topic> or a close variant appears in the live trend list and capture its tweet volume as the first momentum gate.
2. Tool `search_reddit` — search_reddit(query=<topic>, sort_by=hot, page=1, get_sentiment=true)
Confirm Reddit communities are actively surfacing the topic in hot right now and gauge whether chatter is positive or skeptical.
3. Tool `search_youtube` — search_youtube(query=<topic>, upload_date=this_week, get_sentiment=true)
Measure fresh creator supply this week; a rising count of new uploads signals real production interest, not a one-off.
4. Tool `search_tiktok` — search_tiktok(query=<topic>, publish_time=7, sort_by=most_liked, get_sentiment=true)
Confirm short-form traction in the last 7 days and keep only if top videos show recent high-like velocity.
5. Tool `search_tiktok_users` — search_tiktok_users(query=<topic>, pages=1)
Identify the accounts driving TikTok traction and their follower and video counts to judge whether momentum is creator-led or organic.
DELIVER: A go/no-go verdict that promotes a topic only when at least three of four platforms show fresh, rising momentum, with the driving creators named.
Note: each underlying tool call is billed at its normal endpoint price; get_sentiment adds a small per-page surcharge. Page through results as needed but stop once you have enough to deliver the outcome.
