# Google Trends API: interest over time and trending searches

**Use case:** 

Call Google Trends from your code and get JSON back: the timeline for up to 5 keywords on one 0 to 100 scale, interest by country, related queries, and the searches trending right now in any country. This example compares remote work and hybrid work worldwide over 12 months and adds the top 10 US trending searches. It reads the public Trends website data, so no Google API key is needed.

## Input

```json

  "comparisons": [
    "remote work, hybrid work"

## 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/heyitsgautham/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`).
