Geo-Trend Divergence Radar

Catch a topic breaking in one region before it goes global by diffing live trend lists across markets

Run this skill with your agent
1. Connect the MCP server
https://apidirect.io/mcp?token=YOUR_API_KEY
2. Then just say to your agent
Find topics breaking in {region_a_woeid} that haven't hit {region_b_woeid} yet and tell me which to jump on
In clients that support MCP prompts (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) this skill appears as a prompt named geo-trend-divergence-radar. Any agent can also call get_skill(skill_id="geo-trend-divergence-radar") to pull these steps on demand.

What it does

Trends surface in one geography first. By set-differencing two regional trend lists and reading the driver posts, you spot a topic surging in market A that hasn't hit market B yet — an early-mover window.

Who it's for: Trend forecasters, social strategists, and content teams

Inputs

Input Required Description Example
region_a_woeid Yes WOEID of the lead market to scan for emerging trends 23424977 (United States)
region_b_woeid Yes WOEID of the comparison market to diff against 23424975 (United Kingdom)

How your agent runs it

  1. 1
    twitter_trends(woeid={region_a_woeid})

    Pull the live trend list for the lead market and capture each trend name and tweet volume.

  2. 2
    twitter_trends(woeid={region_b_woeid})

    Pull the comparison market's list and set-difference it to isolate trends present in A but absent in B.

  3. 3
    search_twitter(query=<divergent trend>, sort_by=most_recent, pages=3, get_sentiment=true)

    Read the freshest posts behind each divergent trend to identify the driver and whether sentiment is positive momentum or backlash.

  4. 4
    search_twitter(query=<divergent trend>, sort_by=relevance, pages=2)

    Pull the highest-engagement posts to estimate amplification potential and rank which divergent topics to act on first.

Delivers: A ranked shortlist of topics trending in the lead region but not yet in the comparison region, each with its driver, sentiment, and an early-mover recommendation.

This is exactly what the MCP returns to your agent (via the geo-trend-divergence-radar prompt or get_skill tool), with your inputs filled in.

SKILL: Geo-Trend Divergence Radar
Trends surface in one geography first. By set-differencing two regional trend lists and reading the driver posts, you spot a topic surging in market A that hasn't hit market B yet — an early-mover window.

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:
  - region_a_woeid (required): <region_a_woeid — ASK THE USER>
  - region_b_woeid (required): <region_b_woeid — ASK THE USER>

STEPS:
  1. Tool `twitter_trends` — twitter_trends(woeid=<region_a_woeid>)
     Pull the live trend list for the lead market and capture each trend name and tweet volume.
  2. Tool `twitter_trends` — twitter_trends(woeid=<region_b_woeid>)
     Pull the comparison market's list and set-difference it to isolate trends present in A but absent in B.
  3. Tool `search_twitter` — search_twitter(query=<divergent trend>, sort_by=most_recent, pages=3, get_sentiment=true)
     Read the freshest posts behind each divergent trend to identify the driver and whether sentiment is positive momentum or backlash.
  4. Tool `search_twitter` — search_twitter(query=<divergent trend>, sort_by=relevance, pages=2)
     Pull the highest-engagement posts to estimate amplification potential and rank which divergent topics to act on first.

DELIVER: A ranked shortlist of topics trending in the lead region but not yet in the comparison region, each with its driver, sentiment, and an early-mover recommendation.

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.
