## Pricing

from $5.00 / 1,000 google trends result items

Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## Google Trends Scraper — Real-Time Trending Searches, Keyword Analysis & Breakout API

Scrape **Google Trends** at scale in milliseconds **without paying for expensive Residential Proxies**.

This **Google Trends Scraper & API** runs in two powerful modes:

1. **📈 Real-Time Trending Searches (`mode: "trending"`):** Pull up to **500 real-time trending searches** across **125+ countries** over 4h, 24h, 48h, or 7-day windows—complete with search volume (`500K+`), growth surge percentage (`+1,000%`), category tags, related breakout queries, and live breaking news articles.
2. **🔍 Keyword Trend Analysis (`mode: "keyword"`):** Analyze **interest over time** (`timeline_data`), **regional breakdown** (`region_data`), **AI momentum score & direction** (`rising` / `stable` / `declining`), **Knowledge Graph entities** (`related_entities`), and **related search queries** (`related_queries`) for single or batch keywords from 2004 to the past hour.

100% **drop-in compatible** with legacy `google-trends-fast-scraper` API integrations (`mode`, `keyword`, `predefinedTimeframe`, `geo`, `fetchRegionalData`, `trendingSearchesCountry`, `trendingSearchesTimeframe`, `trendingSearchesCategories`, `trendingSearchesMaxItems`, `enableTrendingSearches`).

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).
