Google Trends Explorer — fast Google Trends API

Google Trends Explorer gets Google Trends data for any keyword: interest over time, interest by region (countries, states, US metro areas, cities) and related queries (top and rising). It works in seconds, without a browser. Type your keywords, click Start, and download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

What can this Actor do?

• 📈 Interest over time for any time range: past hour, 7 days, 12 months, 5 years, 2004–today, or your own dates.
• 🗺️ Interest by region at country, state, US metro (DMA) or city level.
• 🔎 Related queries, top and rising, including "Breakout" terms.
• ⚖️ Compare up to 5 keywords on one scale, exactly like the compare box on Google Trends.
• 🎯 All Google Trends filters: location, category, and search type (Web, Images, News, Shopping, YouTube).
• ⚡ Fast and reliable: about 5 seconds per keyword, with automatic retries on fresh proxies when Google rate-limits.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for results: $0.002 per keyword result, or $2 per 1,000. That includes everything you turned on for that keyword (timeline, regions, related queries). There's no start fee, and proxies are included. Apify's free monthly credit covers hundreds of keywords.

Tips and limits

• Values are relative (0–100), exactly as on Google Trends, not absolute search volumes.
• Comparing keywords: turn on Compare keywords on one scale. Otherwise each keyword is scaled 0–100 on its own.
• Related topics: Google currently returns related topics only to its own website, so this list is usually empty. Related queries are always included.
• Data sampling: Google Trends samples its data, so very small keywords can vary slightly between runs, just like on the website.
