Google Trends Scraper — Google Trends API Alternative

Scrape Google Trends data for any keyword, country and time range — interest over time, related & rising queries, interest by region, and today's trending searches — with no API key and no browser automation. This Google Trends scraper is a fast, reliable Google Trends API alternative that returns clean JSON.

Ideal for SEO keyword research, market research, content calendars, e-commerce demand sensing and trend monitoring.

Why there is no easy Google Trends API

Google does not offer a public Google Trends API — the official one is a restricted alpha most people can't access. That's why SEO agencies, marketers, developers and data teams rely on a Google Trends scraper to pull Google Trends data programmatically. This actor gives you that access: send keywords, get structured results, no scraping infrastructure to maintain.

FAQ

Is there a Google Trends API? Not a public one — the official Google Trends API is a restricted alpha. This actor is the practical Google Trends API alternative: it scrapes the same data and returns clean JSON.

How do I scrape Google Trends data? Give the actor your keywords (or set mode to trending with a country), run it, and collect structured results from the dataset — no Google account or API key required.

Do I need a Google account or API key? No.

What do the 0–100 values mean? Google Trends normalizes search interest to the highest point in the selected period/region, exactly like on trends.google.com.

Large keyword lists? Enable the residential proxy option; Google rate-limits aggressively and the actor paces itself and rotates sessions automatically.
