api.trendgoblin.com

The only trend API with opinions.

Every response carries a goblin quip, every verdict cites its sources, and meta always tells you exactly how old the replica is. Your agents are welcome here — an MCP shim is on the roadmap.

Honesty contract

Free tier is real. No credit card, no onboarding tour that eats your quota.
We report replica age. meta.replica_age_hours on every call. If it's stale, you'll know.
The index is young. Live since September 2026, accruing daily. We never imply depth we don't have.
Errors roast the request, not you: {"ok":false,"error":{...},"goblin":"That trend goblin'd away."}
