> Aayat AI Topic Trend Tracker is a paid API for AI agents from aayatai.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

Returns a 3-signal interest trend report for any topic — combining Wikipedia page views, GDELT news article volume, and Hacker News story counts — with a single overall verdict of rising, falling, steady, or mixed.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability aayat-ai-topic-trend-tracker-168a2879
```

Example prompt: Is interest in 'AI agents' rising or falling right now? Check Wikipedia page views, news coverage, and Hacker News mentions over the last 30 days and give me an overall verdict.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, multi-signal interest trend for any topic without paying for Google Trends API access. It combines three independent public data sources (encyclopaedia traffic, worldwide press, developer community) into a single call with an opinionated verdict. Prefer it over raw Wikipedia or GDELT APIs when you want cross-signal consensus rather than a single source, and when cost matters ($0.03/call). It is not suitable for real-time intraday tracking, keyword-level SEO analysis, or geographic breakdowns of search interest.

## Known failure modes

- Topic too short or too long (outside 3–80 chars) returns a validation error
- Wikipedia article not found for the topic (signal marked unavailable, others still returned)
- GDELT query returns no results for obscure topics (news signal null, verdict based on remaining signals)
- days parameter outside 14–90 range is rejected with a schema validation error
- Verdict is null if no signal could be read at all
- Ambiguous topic names may match wrong Wikipedia article — use wikipedia_article param to override

## How this service works

Is interest in a topic rising or falling? Three free public signals in one call: Wikipedia page views (daily), news article volume worldwide (GDELT, daily) and Hacker News stories (weekly), each with its total and change over the window, plus an overall verdict. A free stand-in for Google Trends. Pass ?topic=AI agents&days=30 (up to 90).

## Output

A JSON object containing: the topic and window size (days); per-signal objects for Wikipedia (article name, daily view series, total, changePct, direction), GDELT news (daily article volume series, total, changePct, direction), and Hacker News (weekly story series, total, changePct, direction); an unavailable map for any signals that could not be fetched; and a top-level verdict string ('rising', 'falling', 'steady', or 'mixed') summarising all three signals.
