What this endpoint answers
Ranks the accounts that gained or lost the most audience on the freshest day the engine has finished. This is the discovery counterpart to the catalog: it answers who moved, for a caller who does not have a handle to look up yet. The day ranked is chosen by the server and returned in the response, so a client always knows which day it is reading.
This is a catalog read: it is served from the CRM Solid database in milliseconds, costs one budget unit, and reports how old the reading is in meta.cache_age_s. It needs the directory:read scope (Directory): Read the account and channel catalog across all seven platforms.
Good to know
- Ranks a single day, not a rolling window. Daily movement is what the engine records and what the supporting index covers.
- change_pct is the engine's own percentage for that day and is null when the previous day is unknown. It is never derived from change and audience, because those can disagree after a platform restates a count.
- There is no follower floor or category filter, and that is deliberate: neither is in the index this endpoint depends on, and adding one would turn a 100ms ranking into a scan of the whole day.
- Only accounts already in the catalog can appear. An account nobody has ever asked us about has no daily series to rank.
Parameters
Every value the call accepts, with the example the spec ships so the request runs as written.
| Name | In | Required | Example | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
platform | path | required | x | Which catalog to rank. Bluesky and LinkedIn are not available here; GET /trends/platforms says why. |
direction | query | optional | rising | rising returns the biggest gains, falling the biggest losses. |
limit | query | optional | 25 | Rows to return, 1 to 100. |
Call it
Authenticate with a bearer token or the x-api-key header. Keys are server-to-server credentials. Never embed one in front-end code - call the API from your own backend and forward the result.
curl "https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/trends/x/movers" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer psk_live_..."
const res = await fetch("https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/trends/x/movers", {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY}`,
},
});
if (!res.ok) {
const { error } = await res.json();
throw new Error(`${error.code}: ${error.message} (${error.request_id})`);
}
const { data, meta } = await res.json();
import os
import requests
res = requests.get(
"https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/trends/x/movers",
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY']}"},
timeout=30,
)
res.raise_for_status()
payload = res.json()
data, meta = payload["data"], payload["meta"]
Keys look like psk_live_... for production keys, psk_test_... for test keys and are minted in the panel.
What comes back
Success is { data, meta }. Failure is { error: { code, message, request_id } }. The body below is the spec's own example: the values in it are illustrative readings, not live numbers.

The meta block
request_idstringrequiredUnique id for this request. Quote it in a support ticket.
generated_atstringrequiredServer time the response was produced.
took_msintegerrequiredMilliseconds spent server-side.
pagePageoptionalsourcestringoptionalWhich backend served the payload, for endpoints with more than one.
cache_age_sintegeroptionalAge of the underlying data in seconds. 0 for live reads.
meta.page
limitintegerrequiredRows requested. Default 50, maximum 500.
next_cursorstringrequiredPass as ?cursor= to fetch the next page. null means the result set is exhausted, and it is the only reliable stop condition.
countintegerrequiredRows in this page.
totalintegeroptionalTotal matching rows. Present only when counting is cheap; never assume it is there.
List endpoints take ?limit= (max 500) and ?cursor=. Follow meta.page.next_cursor until it is null; cursors are opaque and signed.
When it fails
GET /trends/{platform}/movers documents 8 failure statuses. Branch on error.code, which is stable and enumerated; message is prose and may change.
- 401Unauthorized
unauthorized | invalid_keyNo key was presented, or the key is unknown, revoked or expired.
- 402PaymentRequired
payment_required | subscription_inactiveThe key is valid but the plan behind it cannot serve the call: the included requests are spent and overage is switched off, capped or unfunded (payment_required), or the billing period lapsed and was not renewed (subscription_inactive). Retrying does not help; paying does. The X-Plan-* headers on this response say how far past the line you are.
Carries X-Plan, X-Plan-Limit, X-Plan-Overage, X-Plan-Period-End, X-Plan-Remaining.
- 403Forbidden
forbidden_scope | forbidden_ipThe key is valid but not allowed to make this call: it lacks the scope, or the request came from an address outside the key's allowlist.
- 404NotFound
not_foundThe addressed resource does not exist.
- 422InvalidRequest
invalid_requestA parameter is malformed, out of range or mutually exclusive with another. `details` names the offending fields.
- 429RateLimited
rate_limited | quota_exceededEither the burst ceiling for the current minute or the daily quota is spent. Distinguish with the code: rate_limited clears within the minute, quota_exceeded does not clear until 00:00 UTC.
Carries Retry-After, X-Quota-Limit, X-Quota-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-Request-Id.
- 500InternalError
internal_errorSomething failed on our side. Internals are never leaked; quote the request id.
- 503Unavailable
upstream_timeout | upstream_error | not_configuredThe request could not be served right now. BRANCH ON error.code, not on the status: 'upstream_timeout' means a source was too slow (this is what a catalog query hitting its 15-second statement timeout returns, so it is reachable from any endpoint that reads the corpus, not only the live-scrape ones) and the same call is worth retrying with backoff - narrowing it with a smaller limit, a filtered scope or a less popular account makes it far less likely; 'upstream_error' means a source was unreachable, so back off further; 'not_configured' means the capability has no backing service in this deployment, and retrying will never help.
Every response carries X-Request-Id and meta.request_id. Quote it in support requests.
Coverage and limits
This endpoint covers X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, Bluesky, LinkedIn. Rate limits come from the tier on your key.
| Tier | Requests a minute | Requests a day | Live reads a minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| free | 30 | 1,000 | 5 |
| standard | 120 | 25,000 | 20 |
| pro | 600 | 250,000 | 60 |
| unlimited | 6,000 | 10,000,000 | 600 |
This call only draws on the ordinary per-minute and per-day columns. Every response reports where you stand in X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset and the X-Plan headers.
Start calling it
A key takes a minute to mint in the panel, no card. The reference covers authentication, the envelope, scopes, rate limits and every error code in one page.
