The beginning of a trending API using forgetsy-js library. This is not production ready and a first iteration at creating an API to track temporal trends in a non-stationary, categorial distribtion.

Distribtuions are buckets to trend items in. Let's say you run a video streaming service. A video may be classified as action-comedy or action-drama, etc. You could create two distribtuions: (/create?categories=action,comedy&type=video) When someone watch a video that is action-comedy, you can increment the bin for that item (/incr?categories=action,drama&type=video&bin=item_id) where item id uniquely identifies the video being viewed. |
