❓FAQ

Is there a Google Trends API?

Google Trends does not offer an official API for public use. This means there isn't a dedicated Application Programming Interface provided by Google specifically for Google Trends data. But you can use scrapers and crawlers as a stand-in for a web scraping API, e.g. 📈📉Google Trends Scraper.

Can I use Google Trends Scraper data with API?

Yes, you can do so by using Apify API. It gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors such as this one. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more.

To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package.

Check out the Apify API reference docs for full details or click on the API tab for code examples and API Endpoints.

Can I create a Google Trends integration using data from this scraper?

Yes. Google Trends Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, LangChain and more.

Or you can use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g. get a notification whenever Google Trends Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Can I use this Google Trends API in Python?

Yes, by using Apify API. To access the Google Trends API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package. You can find more details about the client in our Docs.

Is it legal to scrape Google Trends data?

It is legal to scrape publicly available data from Google Trends. However, you should always review and comply with Google's terms of service and any applicable laws and regulations regarding web scraping. Additionally, be mindful of any rate limits or restrictions imposed by Google to avoid potential issues.

Not your cup of tea? Build your own scraper.

Google Trends Scraper doesn’t exactly do what you need? You can always build one of your own! We have various scraper templates in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript to get you started. Alternatively, you can write it from scratch using our open-source library Crawlee. You can keep the scraper to yourself or make it public by adding it to Apify Store (and find users for it).
