# Read /api/trending through its compatible /api/public/trending route.

`GET /api/public/trending`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://huggingbay.xyz`
- URL: `https://huggingbay.xyz/api/public/trending`
- Auth: none declared

> **Deprecated.**

Same handler and response as GET /api/trending. Alias of /api/v1/trending (recorded; identical handler). Prefer the recorded path: this one already answers with Deprecation and Sunset headers. Exposes aggregate public traction only. No raw visitor keys, IPs, referrers, or operator fields are returned.

**Inputs.** Path, query and header fields are listed below. No request body is required.

**Outputs.** See each status below for its media type, schema and headers. A missing record or unavailable capability is not a successful empty result.

**Errors.** API JSON failures use the documented response schema. Read code, message and next; retry only when the response allows it. Auth, invalid input and missing records need a caller change.

**Rate limits.** Public read budgets apply by client IP and route group. This operation can have a smaller route-specific budget. Read Retry-After on 429 or retryable 503 responses.

## Query parameters
