# solari instagram content trending

> Instagram posts trending right now in a region.

- **CLI**: `solari instagram content trending`
- **MCP tool**: `solari_instagram_content_trending`
- **Access**: `solari:read` — Works with any signed-in SOLARI account.

Instagram posts currently trending in the region, enriched with creator profile fields. Supports cursor pagination via next_cursor from the previous response. Optionally personalizes ranking with a brand account_id or username. Works with any signed-in SOLARI account. Use solari_instagram_content_rising for velocity-led accelerating posts instead.

**When to use it** — "What's working at the moment?" For velocity rather than volume, use content rising.

**What comes back** — Trending posts enriched with author profile fields, paged by cursor.
