Today's trending searches for 60+ countries, with the news stories driving each one. Uses Google's RSS feed, which does not rate-limit — so runs don't fail the way explore-API scrapers do.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Google Trends Daily Searches — The Endpoint That Doesn't 429

Today's trending searches for 60+ countries, with the news stories driving each one. Uses Google's RSS feed, which does not rate-limit — so runs don't fail the way explore-API scrapers do.

Built reliability-first: **every row reports what was found and what was missing** — you never get a
silent blank, and a run summary tells you exactly what happened.

### What you get

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `geo` | Geo |
| `term` | Term |
| `approxTraffic` | Approx Traffic |
| `pubDate` | Pub Date |
| `newsTitle` | News Title |
| `newsSource` | News Source |
| `trendUrl` | Trend Url |

### How to use it

1. Fill in the input (see the example below).
2. Run it once for a snapshot, or **schedule it** to keep the data fresh.
3. Export to CSV/JSON/Excel, or push straight to Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make, or n8n.

### Input

```json
{
  "geos": [
    "US"
  ],
  "expandNews": false,
  "termIncludes": [],
  "termExcludes": [],
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

### Sample output

```json
[
{
  "geo": "example",
  "term": "example",
  "approxTraffic": "example",
  "pubDate": "2026-09-03T09:00:00.000Z",
  "newsTitle": "Example newsTitle",
  "newsSource": "example",
  "trendUrl": "https://example.com/item/1"
}
]
```

### Typical uses

- **Content & SEO teams** — a scheduled run every morning delivers what's trending in your markets, with source articles, as clean CSV.
- **Newsrooms** — see which stories drive search interest across countries.
- **Traders / analysts** — filter for tickers or product names surfacing in search.

### Pricing

**$2.50 / 1,000 results** (`$0.0025` per result), plus a near-zero start fee. You are **never charged beyond your limit**, and blocked or
failed items are reported honestly — not billed as data.

### FAQ & limitations

- Public data only — no login walls, no cookies required.
- Rate limits on the source may require the proxy or a retry on very large pulls.
- Every row reports its own status, so partial results are always labeled, never faked.
- **Integrations:** output works with Zapier, Make, n8n, and any webhook via Apify's integrations.
- **Formats:** results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the dataset.

# Actor input Schema

## `geos` (type: `array`):

Two-letter country codes to fetch trending searches for (e.g. US, GB, IN, DE, BR, JP). Google publishes feeds for 50+ countries; an unknown code fails immediately with the full supported list.

## `expandNews` (type: `boolean`):

Off: one row per trend, with the top news story attached and a newsCount. On: one row per news story, trend fields repeated — better for CSV pivoting on articles.

## `termIncludes` (type: `array`):

Keep only trends whose search term contains at least one of these words (case-insensitive). Leave empty for all trends.

## `termExcludes` (type: `array`):

Drop trends whose search term contains any of these words (case-insensitive). Leave empty to drop nothing.

## `minTraffic` (type: `integer`):

Drop trends with published traffic below this number (e.g. 50000 keeps only 50K+ trends). Trends where Google publishes no figure are always kept, so real trends are never silently hidden.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard limit on results returned. This is strictly enforced — you will never be charged for more than this.

## `maxAgeHours` (type: `integer`):

Leave empty for the full feed. Set to 24 to keep only trends that surfaced in the last day. Trends without a published date are kept.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "geos": [
    "US"
  ],
  "expandNews": false,
  "termIncludes": [],
  "termExcludes": [],
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

The dataset of results produced by this run.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "geos": [
        "US"
    ],
    "termIncludes": [],
    "termExcludes": [],
    "maxItems": 500
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("alaudinburki/google-trends-rss-reliable").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "geos": ["US"],
    "termIncludes": [],
    "termExcludes": [],
    "maxItems": 500,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("alaudinburki/google-trends-rss-reliable").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "geos": [
    "US"
  ],
  "termIncludes": [],
  "termExcludes": [],
  "maxItems": 500
}' |
apify call alaudinburki/google-trends-rss-reliable --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,alaudinburki/google-trends-rss-reliable"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
