Overview

Extract the current top-trending videos on YouTube for a specific country and category. Get data like rank, view count, likes, and channel name to analyze viral content and inform your strategy.

YouTube's "Trending" page is a real-time snapshot of culture, but it's difficult to analyze systematically. The list is constantly changing, and what's popular in one country or category can be completely different elsewhere. This tool solves that by capturing the trending list on demand. It allows you to select from over 20 countries and a dozen content categories (like Music, Gaming, or News & Politics) to get a clean, structured dataset of what's currently at the top. The output provides the video's title, its rank on the trending list, the channel that published it, and key engagement metrics like view count, likes, and comment count. ### Who is this for? * **Content Strategists & Creators:** Discover what topics, formats, and styles are resonating with audiences right now to generate fresh ideas for your own content. * **Marketing Agencies:** Conduct market research for international campaigns by understanding the cultural zeitgeist in specific regions. * **Media Analysts & Journalists:** Track the spread of viral news, memes, and cultural moments across different countries. * **Brand Managers:** Identify up-and-coming creators and popular video formats for potential influencer partnerships or brand integrations.
