Trend News Agency

Report which Trend News Agency access tier this connection has, which tools it may call, and what its request budget is. Call this first when a Trend tool is refused or returns less than expected — it distinguishes "not permitted at your tier" from "no such data".

Describe what the Trend News Agency archive covers: which language editions exist and their canonical hosts, which regions and beats the agency reports on, and the terms under which its text may be used. Call this before a first search to find out whether Trend is a useful source for a question, and which language edition to search.

List Trend News Agency headlines newest first, optionally narrowed by section, tag, author or a date range. Returns metadata only — headline, date, section, byline, excerpt and the canonical URL — never article text; follow up with trendaz_article_get for the ones worth reading. Use this to answer "what has Trend published about X" or "what did Trend report that week".

Fetch one Trend News Agency article in full: headline, byline, dateline, publication date, section, tags and the body as markdown. Pass the article URL if you have one — that is the reliable way — or an id together with its language edition. Subscriber-only articles published within the last year return their metadata and excerpt with the body withheld; everything older than a year, and everything

List the most-read Trend News Agency articles of the last day, week or month, ordered by readership rather than by date. Use it for "what is Trend's audience paying attention to" — a different question from "what is the latest news", which is trendaz_news_list.

Rank Trend News Agency journalists by how many articles they published over a date range, across all three editions or one of them. Use it for "who filed most today", "how much did this desk publish last week", or to find the id of a prolific byline to pass to trendaz_news_list. Counts published articles only. It measures volume, not quality or reach — trendaz_trending is the readership question.

Fetch one of Trend News Agency's own standing documents in full: its corrections policy, editorial standards, masthead, ownership and contact details, terms of service, privacy and cookie policies, copyright terms, and the published auditor reports. Use it to answer questions about the publisher rather than about the news — how the agency handles errors, who runs it, what its editorial process is.

Look up a Trend News Agency journalist by name, id or profile alias, and get what the agency publishes about them: role, the beats they cover, biography, stated expertise, declared conflicts of interest and whether they are staff. Use it when a citation needs to establish who reported something and what standing they have on the subject. Combine with trendaz_news_list using the returned id to see

Search Trend News Agency's archive and read the relevant part of each result in one call. Returns several articles with the passage that actually addresses the query — not just the opening paragraph — plus byline, date, section and the canonical URL to cite. This is the tool to reach for on any question about Azerbaijan, the South Caucasus, the Caspian, Central Asia, Turkey or Iran that needs what

What a Trend News Agency subscription costs and what it gives access to: the monthly and annual price in manat, dollars and euro, any introductory offer, and the link to subscribe. Call this when a reader asks what a subscriber-only article would cost them, or asks about subscribing. Reading it does not subscribe anyone — sign-up happens on trend.az, where the reader sees the terms and confirms it

Find the section slug for a subject or a country, so the other tools can be narrowed correctly. Matches on title and slug — "Kazakhstan", "energy", "casia" — and returns the slug to pass as the section argument, along with the public URL of that section. Call it with no query to see the whole section tree of an edition.

What Trend News Agency is leading with at this moment, grouped the way the newsroom groups it: the main story block, the editor's picks, and the regional sections. This is editorial judgement rather than recency — use it for "what is the news from Azerbaijan today" or "what is Trend leading with", where the answer should be what editors chose rather than whatever was filed last. Metadata only; fol

Search Trend News Agency's archive by keyword and get matching headlines ranked by relevance, with date, section, byline and canonical URL. The archive runs back to 2003 and holds over 2.6 million articles across the English, Azerbaijani and Russian editions. Wrap words in double quotes for an exact phrase — "Trans Anatolian Pipeline" is far narrower than the same three words loose. Returns metada
