## What it does

Three sources, one skill. pytrends handles Google Trends: interest over time, related queries, regional spikes. Reddit comes in through public `.json` endpoints, so no login is involved. Twitter, TikTok and general web questions go to Perplexity MCP.

Install the dependencies once with `pip install pytrends requests --break-system-packages`. The bundle ships `scripts/reddit_scraper.py` with a `SimpleRedditScraper` class exposing `search` and `get_subreddit`. Sleeps between calls are baked into the examples, and that matters: hit Google Trends or Reddit too fast and you get a 429. The skill's own guidance is to pause 60–120 seconds, and 4–6 hours if the errors keep coming.

Think of it as the data-collection half of a research setup. Strategy lives in `content-marketing-social-listening`, deeper lookups in `perplexity-search`. Skip it if you have no Perplexity MCP configured — the Twitter, TikTok and web portion simply won't run, leaving you with Google Trends and Reddit.
