Google Trends Scraper — Search Trends Data & Trends API

Get Google Trends data for keyword research and SEO in about a second per search term: interest over time, interest by country or region, top and rising related queries, term comparisons, and today's trending searches in any country. No browser, no page loads, no timeouts.

Uses the same input fields and output fields as the classic Google Trends Scraper, so you can switch an existing integration by changing only the Actor ID.

A pay-as-you-go alternative to SerpApi's Google Trends API: no monthly plan, you only pay for results.

You only pay for results you get. Terms that fail are never charged.

What you get

Data	Field
Interest over time (0–100)	interestOverTime_timelineData, plus a simple interestOverTime_simple list of {date, value}
Averages when comparing terms	interestOverTime_averages
Interest by country (Worldwide)	interestBy
Interest by state or region (one country)	interestBySubregion
Top and rising related queries	relatedQueries_top, relatedQueries_rising
Related queries per term when comparing	relatedByTerm
Trending searches now, with traffic and news links	mode: "trending"

Features

• Fast: talks to Google Trends' own data endpoints directly. A list of 30 terms finishes in under a minute.
• Compare up to 5 terms on the same 0–100 scale (isMultiple: true, then bitcoin, ethereum, solana on one line).
• Any time range: past hour to 2004–present, or a custom range like 2025-01-01 2025-12-31.
• Any country, any category, and web, image, news, Shopping or YouTube search.
• Paste Google Trends URLs: terms, region (e.g. US-CA), dates and category are read from the URL.
• Trending now for one or many countries: title, approximate search volume, publication time, picture and news articles.
• Resilient: when Google rate-limits a request, the Actor switches connection and retries automatically.

Pricing

Pay per event: a small fee per run plus a fee per result (one term, one comparison, or one trending search). Bigger Apify plans get a lower price per result. See the Pricing tab for exact prices on your plan.

Failed terms are never charged. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops before going over it.

Good to know

• Google Trends values are relative (0–100), not absolute search counts. 100 is the peak for the selected terms, place and time.
• Related topics: Google currently doesn't return related topics to non-browser requests, so relatedTopics_top and relatedTopics_rising are kept for compatibility but are usually empty. Related queries are returned normally.
• For a state, region or city, paste a Google Trends URL with that region in Google Trends URLs.
• Very rare terms can return little or no data. That's how Google Trends works.

Use it with

• AI agents and MCP: add this Actor as a tool through the Apify MCP server (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other MCP clients), LangChain, LlamaIndex or CrewAI.
• No-code automation: n8n, Make and Zapier, for example a weekly keyword trends report to Google Sheets or Slack.
• Spreadsheets and dashboards: Google Sheets, Excel, Looker Studio.
• Developers: the Apify API, Python and JavaScript clients, webhooks and scheduled runs.
