Read full description

A location-aware scraper that extracts real-time trending topics and hashtags from X (Twitter), returning each trend's name, rank, the search query X uses to surface live conversations, a direct search URL for live results, and contextual meta information such as post volume or category. The connector targets trends at worldwide, country, or city granularity using location identifiers (Where On Earth ID), and is optimized for automated trend monitoring, keyword discovery, and programmatic ingestion of ranked topic data for downstream analysis.
