## FAQ

### What is the difference between related topics and related queries?

Related queries are exact search phrases. Related topics group every search about the same thing, in any spelling or language. The Google Trends Related Topics Scraper returns topics; pick Complete to get both.

### Why do other scrapers return empty related topics?

Google releases related topics at a limited pace and refuses many requests for them. The Google Trends Related Topics Scraper waits its turn for each keyword instead of giving up, so you get real topics.

### How long does a related topics run take?

The Google Trends Related Topics Scraper fetches topics as fast as Google releases them, then waits up to 15 minutes for the last ones. Any still withheld are saved without topics and not charged.

### How much does it cost to scrape related topics?

The Google Trends Related Topics Scraper costs $1.50 per 1,000 keywords. Keywords without topics are free, and proxies and usage are included.

## 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/clean-fetch/google-trends-scraper.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`).
