How much does it cost to scrape Google Trends data?

You pay only for the rows you get, with one price per kind of row:

Apify plan	Interest over time per 1,000	Interest by region per 1,000	Related queries per 1,000	Related topics per 1,000	Trending searches per 1,000
Free	$0.025	$0.025	$0.025	$0.025	$0.25
Starter (Bronze)	$0.022	$0.022	$0.022	$0.022	$0.22

Business (Gold) and higher	$0.017	$0.017	$0.017	$0.017	$0.17

Platform usage is included in these prices, so you pay nothing else. For example, 10,000 interest over time rows cost $0.25 on the Free plan and $0.17 on Business; trending searches are priced higher, so 1,000 of them cost $0.25 on the Free plan.

Related topic rows have topicTitle, topicType and topicId in place of query. The Overview tab lists every row, and the Interest over time, Interest by region, Related queries, Related topics and Trending now tabs show each kind as its own table.

How many rows does a search give?

It depends on the time range and region. A single term for the past 12 months in one country gives about 150 rows: 52-53 weekly values, one row per subregion with data (51 in the US), and up to 25 top and 25 rising related queries. Each compared term adds its own rows. Past 7 days gives hourly values (about 170 per term), past 5 years weekly values (about 260), 2004 - present monthly values (about 270). Regions Google has no data for are left out. A trending country gives every trending search of the period: a few dozen for 4 hours, hundreds for 7 days.

❓FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape Google Trends?

Keyword rows cost $0.025 per 1,000 and trending searches $0.25 per 1,000 on the Free plan, with lower prices on paid plans. See How much does it cost to scrape Google Trends data? above.

How many results can I get from Google Trends?

Everything Google Trends shows for your settings: every date in the time range, every region with data, up to 25 top and 25 rising related queries per term, and every trending search of the chosen period. A single term for the past 12 months in one country gives about 150 rows.

Are values from different searches comparable?

Values are 0-100 within one search: 100 is the highest point of that search. Terms on the same line (coffee, tea) share one scale, so they can be compared directly. Terms on separate lines each have their own scale. Google Trends compares at most 5 terms at once.

Why are some values 0 or some regions missing?

Google Trends shows 0 when a term has too little search volume for that time or place, and leaves out regions without enough data. A term with no data at all gives no rows, and the run report lists it under noData. Turn on Include low search volume regions to see more regions.

Why are there no related topics?

Google Trends often shows no related topics to visitors who are not signed in to a Google account. When Google shows none, the run report lists them under noData. Related topics are available for searches with a single term.

Which countries have trending searches?

Every country that has a Trending now page on Google Trends. A country without one is listed in the run report under notFound, and the run goes on with the others.

Do I need a Google account?

No. You get the same public data anyone can see on Google Trends without signing in.

Can I call it as an API?

Yes. Run it through the Apify API from any language, or use its real-time API, /explore?q=coffee,tea&geo=US and /trending?geo=US, which answers with the rows directly.

Can I connect Google Trends Scraper to other tools or AI agents?

Yes. Start runs and download results with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients, send results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack with Apify integrations and webhooks, or let AI assistants and agents run it through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com.

Is it legal to scrape Google Trends?

This scraper only collects public, aggregated search statistics that anyone can see on Google Trends, not data about individual users. Trending searches and related queries can still name real people, and personal data may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only use the data for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?

Google Trends Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google.
