TikTok Trends MCP tools 3
get_time_seriesWeekly (or daily) history for **one** `source` + `keyword`. Same name on MCP and REST (`mode: "get_time_series"`). REST also accepts `get_trends` as an alias.get_growthPoint-to-point percent change. Several windows in one call still count as **one** request for that source + keyword.get_top_trendsLive ranked list. **No keyword.** On MCP, `type` is required and must match the feed name **exactly** (including capitals). On REST, omit `type` only if you intend to pull every feed (billed per feed).
