Lightweight Google Trends data extraction using the public Daily Search Trends RSS feed. Get current trending searches, traffic estimates, and related news for any country. No browser automation needed — fast, simple HTTP requests.

Why This Actor?

The full Google Trends /explore API is heavily protected and requires residential proxies or browser automation. This Lite Actor uses Google's public RSS feed, which is simpler, faster, and far more reliable for "what's trending now" use cases.

Features

  • Daily Trending Searches — Titles and traffic estimates for the current top searches
  • Related News Articles — News items attached to each trending topic
  • Country Support — US, GB, DE, JP, and any country supported by Google Trends
  • MCP Server — Connect to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI agent

No dataset-item charges — you only pay for fetches, not output rows.

Technical Approach

This Actor fetches https://trends.google.com/trending/rss?geo={CC} and parses the RSS XML into clean JSON. It uses got-scraping with optional Apify proxy rotation and retries for resilience.
