Social Media Trends Research

Overview

Programmatic trend research using three free tools:

• pytrends: Google Trends data (velocity, volume, related queries)
• yars: Reddit scraping without API keys
• Perplexity MCP: Twitter/TikTok/Web trends (via Claude's built-in MCP)

This skill provides executable code for trend research. Use alongside content-marketing-social-listening for strategy and perplexity-search for deep queries.

Quick Setup

# Install dependencies (one-time)
pip install pytrends requests --break-system-packages

No API keys required. Reddit scraping uses public .json endpoints.
