# Christmas Shopping Search Trends: When Demand Peaks

**Use case:** 

Five years of US Google Trends for christmas gifts, black friday deals, advent calendar and halloween costumes: the month each peaks, how far it swings around its own average, whether this year is ahead of last, and the breakout searches shoppers are making. Plan stock and ads before the demand arrives.

## 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/precious_bathmat/google-trends-keyword-report.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`).
