Am I following that the "correct" results of this endpoint would be the same results that are going to appear on the frontend for the block? Would we want to use the same Post_Queries instance that are used when filtering the block output here instead of a plain WP_Query?

@dlh01 the "correct" results will not have any pinned posts or deduplication. That all happens client side in the editor, so it can be just a plain WP_Query or the Post_Queries equivalent of a plain WP_Query. We do want to support the trending override, of course. So we could do just Trending_Post_Queries and Variable_Post_Queries.

If this is specific to Parse.ly, then it should be named as such. If it's intended to be a generic trending posts class, then it should be structured so that it supports multiple providers, of which Parse.ly will be the first (and we could add other providers like GA4 later).

@kevinfodness supporting multiple providers was my plan... I kind of figured we would sort out how structure it when we added the second provider.

Ah, we're using named arguments instead of positional ones, this works for me!
Description
The backfill should allow pulling featured posts from Parse.ly and eventually lede-beacon. We have now added the functionality to also pull trending posts, enhancing the variety of content that can be used for backfill. Editor controls have been set up to facilitate the selection of these posts, and a new endpoint has been developed to handle these queries effectively.
Use Case
A user can select trending posts for the backfill source, in addition to the previously available options. This expansion allows for a more dynamic content selection process.
