# Trend check: is search interest rising or falling? (US)

**Use case:** 

A quick verdict for each product: peak month, recent change, and a rising, flat or falling label. Unusual spikes are flagged and left out of the comparison, so one strange month can’t skew the answer. Swap in your own products or keywords.

## Input

```json
{
  "searchTerms": [
    "air fryer",
    "standing desk",
    "robot vacuum",
    "weighted vest",
    "cold plunge"
  ],
  "geo": "US",
  "timeRange": "today 12-m",
  "searchType": "web",
  "category": 0,
  "language": "en-US",
  "includeInterestOverTime": true,
  "includeInterestByRegion": false,
  "includeRelatedQueries": true,
  "regionDetail": "default",
  "maxAttempts": 4,
  "retryFailed": true,
  "queryTimeoutSecs": 60,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  },
  "debugMode": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "query": {
    "label": "Search term",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "geo": {
    "label": "Region",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "timeRange": {
    "label": "Time range",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "trendVerdict": {
    "label": "Verdict: direction, change and peak",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "dataNote": {
    "label": "Note",
    "format": "text"
  }
}
```

## 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/mongoose_atl/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`).
