Google Trends Scraper

Google Trends Scraper is a google trends api for Trending Now: one country and one time window in, one row per trending search out — keyword, search volume, growth percent, Google's own categories, start and end times, related queries and news coverage.

• 125 countries, every one of them measured. The list is not an ISO country table: each entry was asked for trends and answered with some. Countries Google publishes nothing for are not offered.
• 13 fields per trend, including the bucketed search volume, the growth percent, Google's own category tags, and both ends of the trend's lifetime.
• No schema ceiling on how many you ask for. Google applies the requested cap and returns what it currently holds; a direct August 12, 2026 check found 2,407 United States trends for seven days.
• Four windows — 4 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days — each returning a different set rather than a longer slice of the same one.

The smallest useful run reads one trend: one Actor Start plus one Result event, $0.0112 on the FREE tier.

Why Choose Google Trends Scraper

A menu where every option works The country list carries 125 entries because 125 is how many Google actually publishes Trending Now for. The other half of the ISO country table — Antarctica, Bouvet Island, and 123 more — is not on the menu, so a selection cannot end in "no data for this country".

Volume and growth as numbers, not badges search_volume is the bucket Google assigns, growth_percent the rise it reports. Both arrive typed, so a threshold is a comparison rather than a string parse.

Google's own categories, not inferred ones Each trend carries the category ids Google filed it under, resolved to their names. Nothing here guesses a topic from the keyword.

A trend that has ended says so ended_at is null exactly while a trend is still running, which makes "what is trending right now" a filter on the data rather than a guess about freshness.

Ask for everything There is no ceiling on max_results. The source applies its own, so an oversized request returns the whole board instead of being refused.

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Choose a country and a window

Open the Actor input and pick from the 125 countries and four time windows. Both are prefilled with a working combination.

Step 2: Say how many trends you want

Set max_results. There is no upper bound; the source returns what it has.

Step 3: Run it and read the Dataset

Click Start. A run finishes in a couple of seconds and writes one row per trending search.

Output Data Schema

One Dataset row per trending search, with 13 fields.

Field	Type	Description
keyword	string	The trending search itself.
location	string	Country name as selected.
geo	string	Two-letter code Google files the trend under.
started_at	string	ISO 8601 time the trend began.
ended_at	string	ISO 8601 time it ended, or null while it is still running.
search_volume	number	Google's bucketed search count, such as 2000 or 100000.
growth_percent	number	Percentage rise Google reports, 50 to 1000+.
categories	array	Google's own category names, such as Sports or Politics.
related_queries	array	Searches Google groups with this trend.
news_count	number	How many news articles Google attached.
platform	string	Source platform label.
processor	string	URL of the Actor that produced the row.
processed_at	string	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp recorded when the row was formatted.

{
  "keyword": "arsenal vs dortmund",
  "location": "United States",
  "geo": "US",
  "started_at": "2026-08-08T19:00:00+00:00",
  "ended_at": null,
  "search_volume": 100000,
  "growth_percent": 1000,
  "categories": ["Sports"],
  "related_queries": ["arsenal dortmund lineup"],
  "news_count": 12
}

The item above is abbreviated: processor and processed_at are omitted here, so a real row carries all 13 fields. A value Google does not publish stays null rather than being filled in.

Export formats

• JSON — the complete record with every field.
• CSV — spreadsheet-compatible; categories and related_queries need expansion after export.
• API — the Apify client SDKs and the Dataset REST API.

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "YOUR_API_TOKEN" });

const run = await client.actor("agentx/google-trends-scraper").call({
  location: "United States",
  time_range: "Past 24 hours",
  max_results: 50,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => console.log(item.keyword, item.search_volume));

Pricing

One trending search costs $0.00120 on the FREE tier, plus a $0.01000 Actor Start per run — so the smallest useful run is $0.0112.

Event	Billing unit	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD / PLATINUM / DIAMOND
Result	One trending search row	$0.00120	$0.00108	$0.00096	$0.00090
Actor Start	One per GB of memory, minimum one	$0.01000	$0.01000	$0.01000	$0.01000

The Actor runs at 256 MB, so every run bills exactly one Actor Start.

• One trend: $0.01000 + $0.00120 = $0.0112
• Fifty trends: $0.01000 + 50 × $0.00120 = $0.07

One run returns the whole board you asked for, so reading fifty trends in a single run costs one Actor Start rather than fifty.

Prices can change; the pricing page is authoritative.

Use Cases

The common thread is needing what a country is searching for, as data.

• Newsroom monitoring. Watch what a market is searching for, with the volume and growth attached.
• Content planning. Pull the last week's trends by category and pick the ones still running.
• Market research. Compare what trends in one country against another on the same window.
• Alerting. Poll a short window on a schedule and act on trends above a growth threshold.

---

Alternatives

Which tool fits depends on whether you want what is trending or how one keyword behaves.

• Google Keyword Trends — interest over time for keywords you name, rather than the board of what is trending.
• Google's own Trends API — launched 2026, access-gated and advertiser-authenticated. This Actor reads the public Trending Now experience instead, which needs no account.
• A Trends page in the browser — fine for a look; it produces no rows and cannot be scheduled.

---

Limits and Troubleshooting

Most surprises come from the country and the window.

• A country not on the list is not supported rather than empty. The 125 offered were each measured.
• Short windows return few trends. Four hours of a small market can be a handful of rows; that is the source, not a failure.
• Trends move. The same country and window an hour apart returns a different set, which is the point.
• ended_at is null for live trends, so filter on it rather than on processed_at.

---

Trust and Reliability

Every number on this page came from running the Actor, and can be re-run.

The 125 countries were established by asking the source for each of the 250 in the original list at its widest window; exactly half answered empty and were removed. The row counts per window are measured runs. The 13 fields are defined in the Actor's published output contract. Run history, logs and Dataset exports live in the Apify Console.

---

Legal and Compliance

This Actor is not affiliated with Google, and reads only the public Trending Now experience a visitor already sees.

Trending searches are aggregate, non-personal signals, but what you build on them is yours to check: local rules on market research, editorial use and automated monitoring continue to apply. The Actor holds no Google account and reaches nothing behind one.

---

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Google account or API key?

No. The Actor reads the public Trending Now experience, so there is no Google login, no quota and no advertiser account. You need an Apify token to call the Actor itself.

Why only 125 countries when Google lists more places?

Because 125 is how many publish Trending Now data. The other 125 in the original ISO-derived list — Antarctica and Bouvet Island among them — answered empty at the widest window, so offering them would have been a menu item that could only fail.

What does one run cost?

One Actor Start plus one Result event per trend saved. Fifty trends is $0.01 + 50 × $0.0012 = $0.07 on the FREE tier; paid tiers discount the Result event.

Is there a trending now by country api without a fixed row ceiling?

Yes. Set max_results to the cap you need; Google applies it and returns up to the rows currently available for the selected country and window. A direct seven-day United States check found 2,407 rows on August 12, 2026, so a fixed schema maximum would age poorly.

How fast is a run?

About one and a half seconds for a small request. The Actor makes two requests to the source regardless of how many rows come back.

What does a google trending searches api return across different windows?

Each window returns its own trend set rather than a longer slice of the same one. Fresh 25-row samples for 4, 24, 48, and 168 hours had different keyword sets in every measured country, while the uncapped seven-day United States check returned 2,407 rows.

How do I tell a live trend from one that has finished?

ended_at is null while a trend is still running and carries a timestamp once Google closes it.

Is there a free Google Trends API?

Not an unrestricted one. Google's own Trends API launched in 2026 access-gated and advertiser-authenticated. This Actor reads the public Trending Now experience with no Google account, and bills per row returned — the smallest run costs $0.0112.

Can I schedule runs to monitor trending searches over time?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules with the same country and window, and dedupe on keyword across runs. Because each window returns its own set, a short window polled often is the cheapest way to catch a trend while ended_at is still null.
