## What it does

The skill sends your `searchTerms` to the `apidojo~tweet-scraper` actor, then filters and classifies the results by trend velocity, from `BREAKING` to `DECLINING`. Its report can include engagement signals and a trend score. You can view results in chat or save them as CSV or JSON.

Set `APIFY_TOKEN` in the environment or in a `.env` file before running the actor. Choose `scripts/run_actor.js`, the Apify MCP server, or the REST API as the launch method; the MCP server is optional. Broad Twitter trends can slip into a niche search, so check co-occurring keywords before treating a result as relevant to your topic.
