## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Google Trends Scraper — interest over time, related & rising queries, interest by region, no API key

Get the full Google Trends picture for any keyword in clean, structured JSON: interest over time, top related and fastest-rising queries, and interest broken down by region. This Actor replays a warmed session over a residential proxy so Google Trends returns real data instead of rate-limit errors. No account, no API key. Built for SEO, market research, and trend-spotting teams.

### Features
- 📈 **Interest over time** — a full `interestOverTime` timeline of `date`, `timestamp`, and normalized `value` (0–100) points for your timeframe.
- 🔗 **Related & rising queries** — with `includeRelatedQueries`, get `relatedQueries` (top) and `risingQueries` (breakout) lists with their scores.
- 🗺️ **Interest by region** — with `includeInterestByRegion`, get an `interestByRegion` breakdown of `location` and `value`.
- ⏱️ **Flexible timeframes** — `timeframe` from `past_hour` all the way to `since_2004`.
- 🌍 **Geo targeting** — set `geo` to a country code (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `DE`) or `WORLDWIDE`.
- 📊 **Computed summary** — each row adds `averageInterest` and `peakInterest` derived from the timeline.
- 🛡️ **Warmed residential session** — beats Trends' cold-IP 429s so runs return data reliably.

### What you get
Each row is one keyword's full trends report:
```json
{
  "keyword": "bitcoin",
  "geo": "US",
  "timeframe": "past_12_months",
  "interestOverTime": [
    { "date": "Jul 2025", "timestamp": "1751328000", "value": 62 }
  ],
  "relatedQueries": [ { "query": "bitcoin price", "value": 100 } ],
  "risingQueries": [ { "query": "bitcoin etf", "value": 4900, "formattedValue": "Breakout" } ],
  "interestByRegion": [ { "location": "California", "value": 78 } ],
  "averageInterest": 55,
  "peakInterest": 100
}
````

### Input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["bitcoin", "electric cars"],
  "geo": "US",
  "timeframe": "past_12_months",
  "includeRelatedQueries": true,
  "includeInterestByRegion": true
}
```

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `keywords` | Search terms to get trends for; each is scraped separately (required). |
| `geo` | Two-letter country code (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `DE`) or `WORLDWIDE`. Default `US`. |
| `timeframe` | Time range: `past_hour`…`since_2004`. Default `past_12_months`. |
| `includeRelatedQueries` | Also fetch top related and fastest-rising queries. Default `true`. |
| `includeInterestByRegion` | Also fetch interest by region / sub-region. Default `true`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Proxy settings; residential is required (Trends rate-limits datacenter IPs). |

### Use cases

- Spot rising and breakout topics before they peak.
- Compare seasonal demand across keywords and timeframes.
- Find related search terms to expand keyword and content strategy.
- Map regional interest for geo-targeted campaigns.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: you're billed a small amount per run and per item scraped — you only pay for what you get. See the **Pricing** tab for current rates.

### Notes

This Actor uses Google Trends' public endpoints and returns only publicly available, normalized trend data. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google; Google Trends is a trademark of its respective owner.
