# Where is interest highest? US metro areas (past 90 days)

**Use case:** 

Ranks about 200 US metro areas instead of 50 states. Regions that tower over the rest are flagged, and the others are rescaled so they can be compared. Swap in your own term to see where it is searched most.

## Input

```json
{
  "searchTerms": [
    "pickleball"
  ],
  "geo": "US",
  "timeRange": "today 3-m",
  "searchType": "web",
  "category": 0,
  "language": "en-US",
  "includeInterestOverTime": true,
  "includeInterestByRegion": true,
  "includeRelatedQueries": false,
  "regionDetail": "metro",
  "maxAttempts": 4,
  "retryFailed": true,
  "queryTimeoutSecs": 60,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  },
  "debugMode": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "query": {
    "label": "Search term",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "geoName": {
    "label": "Region",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "value": {
    "label": "Interest (0-100)",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "adjustedValue": {
    "label": "Adjusted interest",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "geoCode": {
    "label": "Region code",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "interestByRegion": {
    "label": "Interest by region"
  }
}
```

## 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`).
