# Minds API
> Read any public Minds channel and the platform's live hashtag trends — no key needed. Minds is an open-source, decentralised social network; this API returns a public channel's display name, bio, subscriber and subscription counts, lifetime impressions, Plus/Pro and verified flags and join date, plus the hashtags trending on Minds right now with their volume. Pass a username (the handle without the @). Data comes live from Minds' own public API — nothing cached, nothing stored. Distinct from the Mastodon/fediverse APIs — Minds runs its own platform. Built for social dashboards, creator analytics and trend monitoring.
