Topic Signals

Free topic-signal intelligence for any topic or newsroom — YouTube search demand, Google Trends interest trajectory, and recent coverage GDELT has indexed. Public data only; no login, no keys.

YouTube demand is live here. Google Trends and recent-coverage (GDELT) are best-effort — those free APIs rate-limit shared cloud servers, so they may be empty. The tool is open source: self-host it to run all three from your own network reliably.

Enter a topic (for demand + trends) and/or a domain (for recent coverage), then click Fetch.
