YouTube trending videos — what's trending today
YouTube's trending board by country: the US, UK, India, Japan, Brazil, Germany and more, with views and length.
Pick a country to see YouTube's trending videos there right now, in YouTube's own order: the title, channel, view count, length and how long ago each video went up. Switch between the Now, Music, Gaming and Movies sections. Twelve markets are one tap away (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France and Spain), and a link with any other two-letter country code opens that market. Each board is read live from YouTube and refreshed every 30 minutes. Free, no account needed, rate-limited per visitor (20 lookups every 10 minutes). Agents can read the same board through the UnifAPI MCP server, pay as you go.
What's trending on YouTube right now?
The board above shows YouTube's trending videos for the country you pick, in YouTube's own order, with each video's title, channel, views, length and upload time. It is read live from YouTube and refreshed every 30 minutes.
How do I see YouTube trending in another country?
Tap one of 12 markets (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France or Spain), or put any other two-letter country code in the link, such as ?q=NG for Nigeria. You need no VPN and no change to your YouTube location setting.
Can I see what's trending in music, gaming or movies?
Yes. Switch between YouTube's Now, Music, Gaming and Movies sections above the list. The page link keeps your choice, so you can share that exact board.
Is YouTube trending free to check here?

Questions about this tool
Where does the trending list come from?
Live from YouTube's trending surface for the selected country and section, read through UnifAPI's YouTube data layer. The order is YouTube's own. Each board is cached for 30 minutes, so every visitor sees a current list without a new upstream call each time.
Which countries are supported?
Twelve are one tap away: the US, UK, Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France and Spain. Any other market works with its two-letter ISO country code in the link, such as /tools/youtube-trending?q=NG for Nigeria. The UnifAPI YouTube API takes the same codes.
What are the Now, Music, Gaming and Movies sections?
They are YouTube's own trending sections. Now is the general board; Music, Gaming and Movies narrow it to that category. Pick one above the list, and the page link keeps your choice.
Is YouTube trending free to check here?
Yes. It is free and real, with no account needed. Because each board is cached, it barely counts against the per-visitor free limit of 20 lookups every 10 minutes. Agents and code read the same board through the UnifAPI MCP server or the YouTube API, pay as you go.
Why do some videos show no view count or length?
YouTube reports no length for live streams and premieres, and sometimes leaves out the view count. We show what YouTube provides and never estimate a number.
