# YouTube Trends: Google Trends for YouTube Search

**Use case:**

## FAQ

### Is YouTube search trend data different from web search?

YouTube search often rises at different times and around different topics than web search. The YouTube Trends task measures YouTube search only, like choosing YouTube Search on the Google Trends website.

### How do I find rising YouTube video ideas?

Look at the rising related queries in each result. The YouTube Trends task returns them with growth such as +300%, or Breakout for searches that are new or growing very fast on YouTube.

### How much does YouTube trend data cost?

The YouTube Trends task costs $4.00 per 1,000 keywords for all four parts. Choose Custom with related queries only for $0.50 per 1,000 keywords.

## 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`).
