## 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`).

# README

## Google Trends Trending Now

Every search trending on Google right now, for any country, from the Trending Now page of Google Trends: the search term, how many searches it had, how fast it grew, when it started, whether it's still rising, its category and the related searches Google groups with it.

Most Trending Now Actors read Google's RSS feed, which carries only the top 10 trends per country. This one reads the data behind the Trending Now page itself, so you get the whole list in the country's own language. On 27 September that was 404 trends for the US and 281 for the UK.

### What you get for each trend

- The search term and its rank on the page
- Search volume, as a number and as Google writes it (500K+)
- Growth percentage and the time the trend started
- Whether it's still rising or has ended
- Categories such as Sports, Politics, Business and Finance or Entertainment
- Related searches, and a link to explore the term on Google Trends

### Input

```json
{
    "countries": ["US", "GB", "DE"],
    "timeWindow": "24",
    "categories": ["Sports", "Politics"],
    "activeOnly": false,
    "minSearchVolume": 10000
}
```

- `timeWindow`: 4 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days, the same windows as the Trends page.
- `categories`, `activeOnly` and `minSearchVolume` filter the trends before you pay for them.
- `language` sets the language of the results, for example `de` for Germany.

Schedule it every few hours to keep a history of what each country was searching for.

### Output

```json
{
    "country": "US",
    "rank": 1,
    "term": "dante moore",
    "searchVolume": 500000,
    "searchVolumeText": "500K+",
    "growthPercent": 1000,
    "startedAt": "2026-09-26T23:00:00.000Z",
    "active": true,
    "categories": ["Sports"],
    "relatedQueries": ["dylan raiola", "usc football", "dante moore injury"],
    "exploreUrl": "https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=dante+moore&geo=US&date=now+7-d"
}
```

### Pricing

$0.0005 per trend, so a full US list of around 400 trends costs about $0.20. Filters apply before charging, and a country that fails is an error row that costs nothing. Apify adds $0.00005 per run for starting the Actor.

### Limits

- The data is Google's own list and its rounded volumes (500K+, 10K+), not exact counts.
- Google decides which countries have a Trending Now page. A country without one comes back as an error row.
- News articles linked to each trend aren't included yet, only how many there are.
- The list changes by the minute, so two runs an hour apart won't match. That's the point of scheduling it.

### Changelog

- 2026-09-27: first version.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "countries": [
        "US"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dektionstudio/google-trends-trending-searches").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "countries": ["US"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("dektionstudio/google-trends-trending-searches").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "countries": [
    "US"
  ]
}' |
apify call dektionstudio/google-trends-trending-searches --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dektionstudio/google-trends-trending-searches"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
