Google Trends Trending Now RSS — Country Snapshots

Get a small current-topic brief from Google's public Trending Now RSS export. Useful for a newsroom researcher choosing stories or an SEO content planner checking emerging queries across markets. Each dataset record is one country snapshot with nested trend queries, approximate traffic buckets, publication dates and linked news headlines.

This is the current RSS subset, which can be smaller than Google's full Trending Now page. No keyword-interest charts, historical backfill, interest-by-region, growth percentage, active-status filter, categories or inferred popularity score. It never retrieves news article bodies, contact details or personal profiles. A query can mention a public person; it represents aggregate search activity.

Input

{"countries":["US","DE","JP"],"maxItemsPerCountry":20,"maxResults":3}

• countries: 1–10 uppercase codes from US, GB, SG, CA, AU, DE, FR, JP, IN, BR, ES, IT, NL, SE, NO, DK, FI, KR, NZ, MX. Duplicate codes are collapsed. US, Germany and Japan were checked on October 5, 2026; other listed feeds have not been verified in that check and may be empty or unavailable.
• maxItemsPerCountry: 1–50, default 20. Retains Google RSS order; asking for more does not enlarge the source feed.
• maxResults: maximum delivered country snapshots, 1–10, default 10. Also set Apify's maximum cost per run to cap your budget.

No Google login, API key or proxy. One upstream request per valid country, no retries, at most 10 source requests/run. Invalid country entries produce free statuses while valid countries continue. Unsupported options, including dates and keywords, return free status information without fetching.

Output

Each country row includes country, recordId (country code within this run), source, sourceUrl, fetchedAt, availableItems, returnedItems, truncated and trends. Each trend includes query, trafficLabel, trafficLowerBound, publishedAt and up to five articles with title, url and source.

trafficLowerBound converts a label such as 1000+ to 1000. It is an approximate bucket lower bound, not an exact search count or an interest score. publishedAt is the source item's time; fetchedAt is when the snapshot was collected. News language is chosen by the source and may differ from the country language. Article metadata can be absent; no separate news charge applies. Google decides which queries and articles enter its feed and when it refreshes them.

The default dataset contains snapshots only. The individual trending-query export expands those same nested results into one record per trend; billing remains per country snapshot. Errors, empty feeds, budget stops and the run summary go into a separate free status dataset; OUTPUT identifies its dataset ID and says whether work completed. Source failures in one country do not charge for that country and allow remaining countries to proceed. If any item lacks required query/date/traffic fields, the entire country is declined without a snapshot charge.

Price

Work event: country-snapshot, $0.003 per nonempty country snapshot ($3 per 1,000 snapshots). A snapshot includes all returned trends up to your cap and its linked headlines. Three nonempty countries cost $0.009 in work events. Apify's platform-set apify-actor-start event is additional; the runtime does not manually charge it again.

No snapshot fee for empty feeds, errors, unsupported input or free status rows. Repeating a run collects and bills a fresh snapshot even if Google has not changed its feed. There is no shared historical archive or cross-run deduplication. Within the same resurrected run, durable pending delivery is recovered without another work-event charge. A possible duplicate row is preferable to silently losing a possibly paid result; there is no cross-run exactly-once guarantee.

Check the Store pricing tab for the currently registered prices before starting a run. A repeated snapshot is a fresh collection job, not a new-trend-only alert.
