Trend and event detection

Be the first to know what’s happening.

It pays to be the first to uncover a breaking news story, identify an industry-wide trend, or take action on market movements. We offer several tools and endpoints to help you analyze conversations and respond to trends as they unfold. Use these insights to optimize ads, generate organic content, engage with customers, identify audiences, write articles, purchase stock, assess risks, inform long-term business strategy, discover unknown relevant topics, and much more.
