Ask Claude or ChatGPT about Wikipedia and it guesses from training data that is months old, or runs a web search and summarizes blog posts. No current numbers, no history, no dates.
It reads Wikipedia directly: page views, trending articles. Every answer has the real numbers and the date they are from.
Click your app. It opens with TrendsConnector already filled in. You sign in once with a free TrendsConnector account; there is no API key to copy.
