Google Trends Scraper & API - 100 Keywords

What does Google Trends Scraper do?

Google Trends Scraper extracts Google search interest for your keywords: interest over time, interest by region, related and rising queries, related topics, and today's trending searches. You get one row per keyword, with a summary you can sort (average, peak, change) and the full series. It works like a Google Trends API, with no Google account and no code needed.

• Compare 100 keywords, not 5. Google Trends compares only 5 terms at a time, and each request has its own 0–100 scale, so two batches can't be compared. This actor repeats an anchor term in every batch and rescales, which puts every keyword on one scale. Measured against Google's own single-request figures, the error is 0.2 % at most (DeepSeek 2.13 vs 2.13, Grok 4.87 vs 4.87).
• Rate limits handled. Google Trends answers with HTTP 429 quickly. Each batch runs in its own proxy session and is retried in a new one after a refusal, never silently dropped. From Apify's servers, 9 keywords with 51 US states each and 10 trending searches came back in 21 seconds with no refusal.
• The endpoints that still work. The old dailytrends endpoint returns 404. Trending searches come from Google's live "Trending now" feed.

How to scrape Google Trends

1. Enter your search terms, up to 100.
2. Pick a country or region (empty for worldwide) and a time range, from the past hour to 2004 onwards, or custom dates.
3. Choose the search type (web, YouTube, news, images, shopping) and the extras: related queries, topics, regions, trending now.
4. Click Start, then download JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it through the API.

How much does it cost to scrape Google Trends?

You pay per keyword returned, and per trending search if you ask for them.

Job	Cost
10 keywords, 12 months, related queries	about $0.02
100 keywords on one scale	about $0.20
Today's 10 trending searches	about $0.01

Subscription plans pay less per keyword.

Input example

{
  "searchTerms": ["chatgpt", "claude", "gemini", "perplexity", "copilot", "deepseek", "grok", "mistral", "llama"],
  "geo": "US",
  "timeRange": "past-12-months",
  "includeRelatedQueries": true,
  "includeInterestByRegion": true,
  "regionResolution": "REGION"
}

Output example

{
  "type": "interest",
  "searchTerm": "claude",
  "geo": "US",
  "timeRange": "today 12-m",
  "averageInterest": 17.12,
  "peakInterest": 32,
  "trendChangePct": 149,
  "interestOverTime": [{"date": "2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00", "value": 5, "isPartial": false}, "..."],
  "relatedQueries": {
    "top": [{"query": "claude ai", "value": 100}, {"query": "claude code", "value": 78}],
    "rising": [{"query": "claude cowork", "value": 73050, "formattedValue": "Breakout"}]
  },
  "anchorTerm": "chatgpt",
  "comparableAcrossBatches": true,
  "scaleConfidence": "anchored"
}

scaleConfidence is exact when Google compared everything in one request, anchored when batches were rescaled, and weak when the anchor was too rare in a batch to rescale precisely. If you see weak, choose a more-searched anchor.

Use the Google Trends API in Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("DataIO/google-trends-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchTerms": ["chatgpt", "claude", "gemini"], "geo": "US",
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["searchTerm"], row["averageInterest"], row["trendChangePct"])

No pytrends quotas to fight. It also works from JavaScript, Make, Zapier, n8n, or AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Trends?

Google Trends data is public and aggregated. It contains no personal data. How you use it is your responsibility.

Are the values search volumes?

No. Google Trends gives relative interest from 0 to 100, not counts of searches. With this actor, the 100 is shared by all your keywords.

Why are related topics sometimes empty?

Google provides topics only when a request has a single keyword. That is Google's rule.

Can I track trends over time?

Yes. Schedule the actor daily or weekly with the same keywords, or with includeTrendingNow to log what is trending.
