How to get Twitter hashtag trends?

[doo05]

Hey!

I need to get a simple list of the most used hashtages in Germany for the last 24 hours.

I’ve already tried to use the trends/place API with the WOEID for Germany:
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/trends/place.json?id=23424829

That seems to work so far. But for most of the trends the tweet_volume is NULL. Why?

And if I compare the results with this trending topics - they are totally different:
https://trendingdeutschland.com/

So: How can I get the right list of the most trending hashtags for Germany?

Thanks!

tweet_volume is a value that relates to the Ads API and is not currently documented for general use cases. It can be disregarded if you are retrieving results successfully.

And if I compare the results with this trending topics - they are totally different: https://trendingdeutschland.com/

I’ve no idea how that site derives its results. I would imagine that they might be listening on the Streaming API and making up their own results, it is not clear. If it does not match the results from the /1.1/trends/place.json endpoint, I can’t really comment on the reason, sorry.

Thank you very much!

tweet_volume would be great to sort the results by popularity.
