It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. 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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. 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`). # README ## Google Trends "Trending Now" Scraper — every trend, not just the top 10 Most trending-search scrapers read Google's RSS feed, which only lists **10 trends**. This actor reads the full **Trending now** list on Google Trends: often **300+ trends a day per country**, and **thousands over 7 days**. Each trend comes with its **search volume**, **growth %**, **start time**, whether it is **still active**, its **categories**, and the **related queries** Google groups under it. ### What you get | Field | Example | |---|---| | `trend` | `jets vs canadiens` | | `geo` | `CA` | | `rank` | `2` (within the geo, after your sort and filters) | | `searchVolume` / `searchVolumeLabel` | `50000` / `50K+` | | `growthPercent` | `1000` (Google caps the display at 1000%) | | `isActive`, `startedAt`, `endedAt` | `true`, `2026-11-04T01:30:00.000Z`, `null` | | `categories` | `["Sports"]` | | `relatedQueries` | `["canadiens", "jets game", "habs score"]` | | `exploreUrl` | Link to the term on Google Trends | ### How to use it 1. Add one or more **countries or regions**: `US`, `GB`, `CA`, `FR`, `DE`, `IN`, `BR`, `JP`… or regions like `US-CA` or `CA-QC`. 2. Pick a **time window**: past 4 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days. 3. Optionally keep only some **categories**, only **active** trends, or trends above a **minimum search volume**. 4. Run it once, or **schedule it hourly or daily** to build your own trend history. #### Example input ```json { "geos": ["US", "GB", "CA"], "timeWindow": "past-24-hours", "categories": ["18", "3"], "minSearchVolume": 2000, "maxTrendsPerGeo": 50 } ``` #### Category IDs 1 Autos & Vehicles · 2 Beauty & Fashion · 3 Business & Finance · 4 Entertainment · 5 Food & Drink · 6 Games · 7 Health · 8 Hobbies & Leisure · 9 Jobs & Education · 10 Law & Government · 11 Other · 13 Pets & Animals · 14 Politics · 15 Science · 16 Shopping · 17 Sports · 18 Technology · 19 Travel & Transportation · 20 Climate ### Pricing You pay **per trend delivered**. Proxies are included. Use **Max trends per geo** and the filters to control cost. A 7-day window for the US can return 3,000+ trends. - Geos that fail after all retries are **free** and appear with `status: "error"`. - Set a maximum cost per run; the actor stops cleanly at that limit and keeps what it collected. ### Use cases - **Newsrooms and content teams:** spot rising stories in any country within hours. - **Marketers and brands:** react to moments (sports, shows, launches) while they are trending. - **E-commerce:** catch product and shopping trends early (category 16). - **Researchers and data teams:** schedule hourly runs to build a trend archive. - **AI agents:** give an assistant live "what's trending" context through the Apify MCP server. ### Reliability Requests retry with fresh IPs and fall back to residential proxies when Google rate-limits. The `RUN_STATS` record shows requests and retries for every run. We run test scrapes every day. Questions or problems: use the **Issues** tab; we reply within one business day. ### Legal This actor collects only public, aggregated trend data and no personal data.

Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "geos": [ "US" ], "maxTrendsPerGeo": 100 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("keel-data/google-trending-now").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/bAlokdQbwGRyxhT2y/builds/no9Q3kwBUSSuihdRE/openapi.json
