Google Trends Scraper - Interest & Trending Now

Get Google Trends data for any keyword as clean JSON, and the trending searches of any country. For each keyword the Actor returns the full interest-over-time series, interest by region, and the top and rising related queries and topics, for the country, period and Google property you choose (web, images, news, shopping or YouTube). Add countries to also get what people are searching right now, with approximate traffic and the related news articles.

No browser and no API key: the Actor uses the same data endpoints as trends.google.com. You pay $0.0005 per keyword or trending search returned.

What you get

One Dataset row per keyword (rowType: keyword):

• interestOverTime: every point of the chart with date, label, value (0 to 100) and isPartial.
• averageInterest, latestInterest and peakDate, ready for sorting and alerts.
• interestByRegion: states, provinces or countries with their value, highest first.
• relatedQueriesTop and relatedQueriesRising (query, value, formattedValue such as Breakout or +250%).
• relatedTopicsTop and relatedTopicsRising (title, type, value) when Google provides them.
• keyword, geo, timeRange, property, category, url.

One row per trending search (rowType: trending): title, approxTraffic (for example 200,000+) and traffic, publishedAt, picture, and news with the title, URL and source of the related articles. On scheduled runs, isNew flags the searches that started trending since the previous run.

How to use it

4. Optionally add Trending searches of countries (US, ES, MX...) for what is trending right now.
5. Click Start and export the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel.

FAQ

What do the values mean? Google Trends values are relative: 100 is the peak popularity of the keyword in the chosen place and period, 50 half of it. They are not search counts.

Can I compare several keywords on one scale? Each keyword is analyzed on its own scale in this version.

Why are related topics sometimes empty? Google only returns them for keywords with enough volume; the rest of the row is still filled.

Where is the data stored between runs? In a Key-Value Store of your account named micro-saas-state-google-trends, one key per keyword or country. Delete it to start fresh.
