Example prompt: What are the top trending news narratives right now — show me which stories are gaining the most momentum, their sentiment tone, and where geographically they're spreading?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a real-time pulse on what narratives are dominating global media — especially useful for financial analysis, political monitoring, or combining with prediction market odds to see how media momentum correlates with market probabilities. Prefer this over a topic search endpoint when you don't have a specific query and want to discover what's organically trending.

## Known failure modes

- No trending data available if media ingestion pipeline is delayed
- Empty results if called during a low-news-volume window
- Rate limit or payment error if USDC payment fails
- Timeout if global media aggregation takes too long
- Malformed response if narrative clustering service is degraded
