Quick start

Press Start with the example input: the current trending searches in the United States and the United Kingdom.

{
  "geos": ["US", "GB", "DE", "TR", "BR", "IN"],
  "minTraffic": 1000,
  "keywords": "ai, iphone, election"
}

What you get

{
  "geo": "US",
  "rank": 1,
  "query": "election results",
  "approxTraffic": "2M+",
  "traffic": 2000000,
  "startedAt": "2026-11-04T09:00:00Z",
  "picture": "https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=…",
  "pictureSource": "The Example Times",
  "newsCount": 3,
  "topNewsTitle": "Live results: …",
  "topNewsUrl": "https://news.example/…",
  "news": [{"title": "…", "url": "…", "source": "…", "picture": "…"}],
  "exploreUrl": "https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=election%20results&date=now%207-d",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-04T11:00:00Z"
}

traffic is the lower end of Google's range as a number (200+ → 200, 10K+ → 10000), handy for sorting and filtering.

Use it for

• Newsrooms and creators: a feed of rising topics per country every hour, with the news that explains each one.
• SEO and content teams: spot topics early and plan articles; open exploreUrl for the 7-day interest curve.
• Monitoring: schedule it and connect Slack, e-mail or Google Sheets; filter by your keywords so only relevant trends arrive.

Inputs

• Countries: two-letter codes (US, GB, DE, FR, TR, BR, IN, JP …), as many as you like.
• Keywords: keep trends whose search or news titles contain any of the words.
• Minimum search volume and Maximum trends per country.
• Include news articles: on by default.

What it costs

$1 per 1,000 trends written to the dataset, plus a tiny $0.00005 start fee per run. A feed holds a few dozen trends per country, so an hourly run for 3 countries costs around $0.10 a day.
