# Google Shopping Trends for Product Research

**Use case:** 

See which products shoppers search for on Google Shopping before you stock, launch or advertise. This example compares air fryers, standing desks and robot vacuums over 12 months in the US, with weekly interest, interest by state and top and rising related queries. Swap in your own products, country or time range. You're charged only for keywords whose data came back.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/appgild/google-trends-api.md

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`).
