Google Trends Trending Searches by Country (Trending now, with search volume)

Every trending search Google Trends lists for a country, up to 200 countries per run: the trend, its search volume, growth percentage, when it started and (if already over) when it ended, its category and the related queries people typed with it. Windows of 4 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days. You only pay for trends that are actually delivered.

Why this scraper

• The full list, not the top 10. Google's public RSS feed stops at 10 trends per country. This actor reads the same data the "Trending now" page reads: in a test on 13-09-2026 that was 227 trends for the Netherlands in 24 hours and 2,633 for the United States in 7 days.
• Filters that save money. Keep only trends that are still rising, set a minimum search volume, or pick categories such as Sports, Technology or Business and Finance. Filtered-out trends are never charged.
• One flat table across countries. Paste 50 country codes and get one dataset with the country and rank on every row, ready to compare what is trending where.
• Built on a lightweight route. One request per country, about 0.3 KB per trend and under a second per country in testing, which is where the low price comes from.
• Still works. The dailytrends endpoint that most libraries and tutorials call has answered 404 since 2025. This actor uses the route behind the current page.

Who this is for

Newsrooms and content teams deciding what to write about today. SEO and social teams catching a topic while it is still rising. Market researchers comparing what countries care about. Anyone who wants a feed of rising search demand without refreshing a page.

Who this is not for

This actor reports what is trending. It does not give interest-over-time curves or year-long comparisons for your own keywords; for that, use the Google Trends Batch Scraper from the same publisher. Search volume is Google's rounded figure (100, 200, 500, 1,000 ... 5,000,000), not an exact count, because that is what Google publishes.

Input fields

Field	Type	Required or default	What it does
countries	list of text	required	Two-letter country codes, one per row (e.g. US, GB, NL, DE, IN). Each country is one input; a country without trends comes back as an error record at no cost.
hours	text (4, 24, 48, 168)	24	How far back to look: 4, 24 or 48 hours, or 168 for the last 7 days. Longer windows return more trends, most of them already finished.
maxTrendsPerCountry	number	500	Cost ceiling: at most this many trends per country, ranked the way Google Trends ranks them. A 24-hour window typically holds 100 to 500 trends, a 7-day window up to 3,000.
activeOnly	true/false	false	Keep only trends that are still rising right now; drop the ones Google marks as ended.
minSearchVolume	number	0	Skip trends below this many searches in the window (Google reports volume in steps: 100, 200, 500, 1,000 ... 5,000,000). 0 keeps everything.
categories	list of text	empty	Optional filter. Leave empty for all categories. Values: Autos and Vehicles, Beauty and Fashion, Business and Finance, Climate, Entertainment, Food and Drink, Games, Health, Hobbies and Leisure, Jobs and Education, Law and Government, Other, Pets and Animals, Politics, Science, Shopping, Sports, Technology, Travel and Transportation.
language	text	en	Interface language for the request (hl), e.g. en, nl, de. Trend titles are in the language people searched in and do not change with this setting.

A country that returns nothing produces an error record instead, and is not charged:

{
    "input": "XX",
    "status": "error",
    "errorCode": "NO_RESULTS",
    "error": "No trend data for XX; Google Trends does not list trending searches for this country code"
}

Error codes: INVALID_COUNTRY, INVALID_CATEGORY, NO_RESULTS, BLOCKED. INPUT_TRUNCATED appears once when your input is longer than this actor accepts.

Pricing

Pay per event: one trend-listed event per delivered trend. No charge for countries that fail, for trends removed by your filters, or as a separate platform-usage surcharge. Use maxTrendsPerCountry as a hard cost ceiling.

Free Apify plan: this actor delivers up to 25 rows per run for accounts on the Apify free plan, and then stops with a message. That limit is set by us, not by Apify. It exists so the actor keeps paying for itself for the people who do pay. Any paid Apify plan runs it at full size, billed per delivered row, with failed rows never charged.

Reviews: if this actor saves you time, a short review on this page is the one thing that helps most. Ratings are what other buyers look at first, and we have no other way to ask.

FAQ

How many trends will I get? It depends on the country and the window. Large countries produce a few hundred trends in 24 hours and a few thousand in 7 days; small countries fewer. The 4-hour window is the smallest and can be empty on a quiet night, which comes back as a free error record.

What does growthPercent mean? Google's own figure for how much the search volume rose compared with the period before, capped at 1000%. Trends marked 1000% are the ones that came out of nowhere.

Why is endedAt empty on some rows? Those trends are still active: Google has not yet marked them as over. isActive says the same thing as a boolean so you can filter on it.

Which countries work? The countries Google Trends itself offers on its Trending now page, around 50. A code it does not support returns a free NO_RESULTS record naming the code.

Can I run this every hour? Yes; that is what the 4-hour window is for. Combine it with activeOnly to receive only what is rising right now.

Is personal data collected? No. Search trends and their related queries are aggregate public data about what many people search for. Nothing about any individual is collected.

What happens when Google changes something? Internal routes shift from time to time. The actor is monitored daily and fixed fast, and while it is broken you are not charged, because only delivered trends cost anything.

Can I call it from my own code, like an API? Yes. Every run is available through the Apify API: start it with one HTTP request, then read the results as JSON, CSV or Excel from the dataset endpoint, or use the official Python and JavaScript clients. The input is the same JSON as in the input example above, so a scheduled script, a Make or Zapier step or an AI agent can call it without any changes.
