Google Trends Searches Scraper

Collect topics from Google Trends’ public Trending Now table for selected countries. Each dataset record represents one topic in one country and includes the search volume, growth, trend status, and related searches shown by Google.

The Actor can also include public news cards and related query details from a topic’s public detail panel. It preserves relative dates as displayed rather than turning them into exact timestamps.

How to use

1. Choose one or more country codes.
2. Set the table page range and overall topic limit.
3. Choose how many related queries and news items to keep.
4. Run the Actor and view or export the trend records.

Example:

{
  "geos": ["US", "GB"],
  "page": 1,
  "maxPages": 2,
  "maxItems": 20,
  "includeNews": true,
  "maxNewsItems": 5,
  "maxRelatedQueries": 100
}

Output

Each record includes the trend phrase and country, Google’s displayed search-volume label, growth, the relative “Started” wording, and activity status. It can also include related searches, update time, and Google’s visible interest-graph time labels.

When includeNews is enabled, relatedNews can contain public headlines, article links, publishers, image links, and relative publication labels. When includeExplore is enabled, exploreDetails may add interest over time, interest by region, rising topics, and rising queries. Interest values are normalized Google Trends scores from 0 to 100, not raw search counts.

Open-ended search-volume labels such as 200K+ are represented as a lower bound with no upper bound. Relative start times remain in the source wording and are not converted to estimated timestamps.

Example dataset item:

{
  "topic": "sample championship final",
  "geo": "US",
  "geoName": "United States",
  "searchVolumeText": "200K+",
  "searchVolumeLowerBound": 200000,
  "searchVolumeUpperBound": null,
  "trendGrowthText": "900%",
  "trendGrowthPercent": 900,
  "trendStartedText": "8 hours ago",
  "trendStartedPrecision": "hour",
  "trendStatus": "Active",
  "relatedQueries": ["sample final score", "sample team lineup"],
  "relatedNews": [
    {
      "headline": "Example publisher reports a schedule update",
      "articleUrl": "https://news.example.com/sports/schedule",
      "publisher": "Example Sports Publisher",
      "publishedText": "2 hours ago"
    }
  ]
}
