## 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## 📈 Google Trends Scraper — Interest, Regions & Related

**All of Google Trends as clean JSON.** Interest over time, interest by region, and the related queries & topics — for one term or up to five compared side by side, across any location and timeframe.

No API key. No quota. Pay per query.

### What you get

- **Interest over time** — the trend line, each date with a value per term (comparison-scaled 0–100, exactly like the UI)
- **Interest by region** — every region with non-zero interest, ranked
- **Related queries** — TOP and RISING searches around your term
- **Related topics** — TOP and RISING topics
- Pick any subset — pay only for what you fetch

### Input

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Search terms** | 1–5 terms; multiple terms are compared on the same scale |
| **Location** | Worldwide (empty), country (`US`), or sub-region (`US-CA`) |
| **Time range** | Past hour → 2004-present |
| **Data to fetch** | Any mix of the four widgets |

### Output (rows)

```json
{ "type": "interestOverTime", "date": "Aug 10 – 16, 2026", "values": { "bitcoin": 74, "ethereum": 41 } }
{ "type": "interestByRegion", "term": "bitcoin", "geoName": "California", "value": 88 }
{ "type": "relatedQueries", "term": "bitcoin", "query": "bitcoin etf", "rank": "RISING" }
{ "type": "relatedTopics", "term": "bitcoin", "topic": "Spot ETF", "rank": "TOP" }
```

### Who uses this

- **Marketers & SEO** — seasonality, rising search demand, keyword expansion
- **Traders & analysts** — retail-attention signals as a leading indicator
- **Product & content teams** — what's gaining momentum, where
- **Researchers** — public-interest measurement over time and geography

### FAQ

**Is it the real Google Trends data?** Yes — the same numbers the trends.google.com UI shows, pulled from its own data endpoints.

**Comparison scaling?** With multiple terms, values are relative to the peak across all terms (Google's own comparison model).

**Scheduled?** Attach to an Apify Schedule for a rolling trend feed.

**Broken?** Issues tab is monitored daily; fixes usually ship within 24 hours.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchTerms": [
        "bitcoin",
        "ethereum"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("moganes/google-trends-scraper").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) => {

echo '{
  "searchTerms": [

    "ethereum"
  ]
}' |
apify call moganes/google-trends-scraper --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,moganes/google-trends-scraper"

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
