Google Trends Scraper

Google Trends Scraper turns Google Trends into clean JSON, CSV or Excel, without login, cookies or an API key. Give it keywords and a place, and each keyword comes back as one report row: interest over time with a ready summary (average, peak, latest value, change over the period), interest by country, state, city or metro, and related queries, top and rising. Compare up to 5 keywords on the same scale, switch to YouTube, News, Images or Shopping search, and add today's trending searches for any country with approximate volume and news links.

US$ 3.00 per 1,000 keyword reports. US$ 0.75 per 1,000 trending searches. No monthly fee, no start fee. Error rows are free.

INVALID_INPUT	Unknown time range, search type or category, or a request Google rejected
NO_RESULTS	No trending searches for that country code
NOT_REACHED, UNEXPECTED	The run timeout arrived, or something unforeseen broke; only that keyword is lost

Pricing

Event	Per 1,000
Keyword report (all sections)	US$ 3.00
Trending search	US$ 0.75

A 50 keyword study costs US$ 0.15. Keywords without data and blocked requests are free. There is no Apify compute bill on top.

Limitations

• Values are relative, as on Google Trends: 0 to 100 within the chosen keyword, place and period (or within the comparison group). They are not search volumes.
• Google limits automated access. The Actor paces its requests (about 15 seconds per keyword with all sections) and retries when Google limits it. Very large lists take longer; split them across runs if you need speed.
• Related topics are often withheld by Google from automated sessions; related queries are not.
• This Actor reads public Google Trends data only and respects the site's terms.

FAQ

Do I need a Google account, cookies or an API key? No. The Actor reads public Google Trends data without login, cookies or an API key.

What does a run cost? US$ 3.00 per 1,000 keyword reports (all sections in one row) and US$ 0.75 per 1,000 trending searches, so a 50 keyword study costs US$ 0.15. Keywords without data, blocked requests and other error rows are free, and there is no Apify compute bill on top.

Are the values search volumes? No. As on Google Trends, they are relative, 0 to 100 within the chosen keyword, place and period. Turn on compareKeywords to put up to 5 keywords on the same scale and see which is searched more.

How do I get today's trending searches? Add country codes to trendingCountries (for example US, GB, IN). Each trending search comes as one row with approximate searches, start time and news links. It works with or without keywords.

Can I use a custom date range? Yes. Besides the options of timeframe, through the API you can send a custom range as YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-MM-DD, for example 2026-01-01 2026-06-30.

Why does a run take a while? Google limits automated access, so the Actor paces its requests (about 15 seconds per keyword with all sections) and retries on every limit. Turn off includeRegions or includeRelated for faster runs, or split very large lists across runs. A keyword that ends as BLOCKED is free; run it again.
