Introduction
The Trends lookup endpoint allow developers to get the Trends for a location, specified using the where-on-earth id (WOEID).
Note: WOEID is a legacy identifier created by Yahoo and has been deprecated. X API uses the numeric value to identify town and country trend locations. Reference our legacy blog post, or archived data
The tweet_count for the last 24 hours is also returned for many trends if this is available.
This endpoint supports app-auth authentication and has a rate limit of 75 requests per 15-minute window.
