Google Trends Scraper - Reliable Google Trends API

Get Google Trends data you can rely on: interest over time, interest by region, related queries and related topics for any keyword, country and time range. Every result also includes a plain-language trend summary (average, peak, latest value and whether the term is rising, stable or falling), so you can use the data straight away in reports, spreadsheets or AI agents.

Google Trends rate-limits automated requests aggressively. This Actor is built around that problem: it rotates residential proxy sessions, backs off automatically and retries each request up to 8 times, so your runs finish instead of failing. Searches that still fail are never charged.

Quick reference for AI agents and developers

• Minimal input: {"searchTerms": ["padel"], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "today 12-m"}
• Quick answer: read summary[term].trend (rising / stable / falling), plus average, peak, peakDate, latest and changePercent.
• Details: interestOverTime (0-100 timeline), interestByRegion, relatedQueries[term].rising (new keyword ideas; "Breakout" = more than +5000%).
• Compare terms: set "compareTerms": true to get values relative to each other (up to 5 per group).
• Errors: searches that still fail after all retries produce no dataset item and are not charged. They are listed in the RUN_SUMMARY key-value record.

What you can extract

Data	What it tells you
Interest over time	Search interest (0-100) for every day, week or month of the period
Trend summary	Average, peak and peak date, latest value, % change and direction (rising / stable / falling)
Interest by region	Where the term is most popular: countries, subregions, cities or US metro areas
Related queries	Top and rising searches, including "Breakout" terms growing more than 5,000%
Related topics	Top and rising topics connected to your keyword

You can analyse web, image, news, YouTube or Google Shopping searches, narrow results with a category, and compare up to 5 terms against each other.

FAQ

What do the 0-100 values mean? Google Trends shows relative interest, not search volume: 100 is the peak popularity of the term in the chosen place and period, 50 is half as popular, and 0 means there was not enough data.

Why do compared terms have different numbers than single terms? When you compare terms, they share one scale, so the most popular term sets the 100. Each single term is scaled on its own.

Do I need my own proxies? No. Apify residential proxies are selected by default because Google Trends blocks most datacenter IPs.
