How much does it cost?

You pay per record: $1 per 1,000 records ($0.001 each), plus a $0.00005 start fee per run. One record = one term x one data type (or one trending search).

You fetch	Records	You pay
1 term, 3 data types (default)	3	$0.003
100 keywords, 3 data types	300	$0.30
1,000 keywords, interest over time only	1,000	$1.00
Daily top 50 trending searches for a month	1,500	$1.50

Data types for which Google returns nothing are not pushed and not charged.

Use it via API, Make, Zapier, n8n or an AI agent

Apify API. Start a run and get the results back in one HTTP request (replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with the token from Apify Console > Settings > Integrations):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/plotpointtech~google-trends-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["coffee", "matcha"], "compareTerms": true, "geo": "US", "timeRange": "today 12-m", "dataTypes": ["interestOverTime", "interestByRegion", "relatedQueries"]}'

For longer jobs, start the run asynchronously and read the dataset when it finishes. Official apify-client libraries exist for Python and JavaScript; the API tab on this page has ready-made code.

No-code automation. Connect the tool to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable or any webhook with Apify integrations, and use Schedules in Apify Console to run it hourly, daily or weekly.

AI agents (MCP). Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP-compatible agent direct access to this tool through the hosted Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to your client:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=plotpointtech/google-trends-scraper

The agent can then call the tool with the same input fields shown above and read the results.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Trends? The tool reads the same public, aggregated data the Google Trends website shows, plus Google's public trending-searches RSS feed. No login is used and requests are paced politely. Trends data is aggregated and anonymous. Check that your use fits Google's terms.

Are the values search volumes? No. Like the Trends website, values are relative (0 to 100) to the highest point in the chart. Values from separate runs or separate comparison groups are not on the same scale.

Why are some rising queries unrelated to my term? Google sometimes mixes generic queries into rising lists for automated requests. The rising-query filter (filterUnrelatedRising, on by default) removes those that share no word with your term. Treat rising lists as indicative. Related topics are often returned empty.

What if Google rate-limits the run? Requests are retried with backoff. Terms that still fail are logged, skipped and not charged.

Can I get data for a city or US metro area? Yes. Set Region resolution to CITY or DMA.
