Search any topic, niche, or keyword. Filter content uploaded in the past 24 hours or this week, and sort strictly by view count and viral velocity.
Direct answer
The UseCOS YouTube Trend Finder queries real-time public video index endpoints to rank videos and Shorts uploaded in the last 24 hours (Today), this week, or this month by raw views and viral velocity (VPH), bypassing algorithmic recommendation clutter.
Filtered by past 24 hours • Sorted by highest views
Try expanding the upload date to “This Week” or searching a broader topic like “AI Tech” or “Game Dev”.
When searching on YouTube's website or mobile app, combining “Upload date: Today” with “Sort by: View count” often fails to show true rankings. Instead, the native algorithm injects weeks-old recommendations, related videos from your watch history, and channel subscriptions into your search stream.
Additionally, YouTube completely restricts view-count sorting for YouTube Shorts within search results. This makes market research, competitor analysis, and niche scouting difficult for independent creators and researchers. This tool queries the underlying public index parameters directly, isolating same-day uploads and sorting them strictly by objective metrics.
A video uploaded 4 hours ago with 10,000 views has a viral velocity of 2,500 VPH. That velocity signals high instant demand and search momentum long before the YouTube home feed algorithm picks it up.
High-velocity tutorials and tech reviews accumulate active viewer comments in the first 24 hours. Examine the comments for phrases like “how do I automate this”, “is there an app for”, or “this step is too slow” to uncover viable software ideas.
Search results are updated live from public video index records and cached in memory for 15 minutes to respect platform throughput limits. Estimated views-per-hour (VPH) is calculated from relative published timestamps and total view count. This tool does not alter, scrape, or bypass private creator data, copyright safeguards, or authenticated YouTube Studio metrics.
