Google Trends Interest by Region Scraper

Where a keyword is searched: Google Trends' interest by region for up to 200 keywords per run. Worldwide gives every country with a score (up to 250), a country code gives its regions or its cities, each scored 0 to 100 the way Google Trends scores them. One row per keyword with the full ranked breakdown inside it. You only pay for keywords that come back with data.

Why this scraper

• The map as a table. The Trends page shows interest by region as a coloured map you cannot export in bulk. This returns the numbers behind it, ranked, for a whole keyword list at once.
• Three levels of detail. Worldwide by country, or inside one country by region (states, provinces) or by city. Pick the level per run.
• No noise rows. Google lists every region it knows, including those with too little volume to score. Those are dropped by default, so the table holds only regions with a real score. Switch them on if you want the complete list.
• Lightweight route. Two requests per keyword; in testing on 13-09-2026 a worldwide breakdown was 30 KB and a country breakdown 1.5 KB, which is where the price comes from.
• Only delivered keywords are charged. A keyword without enough search volume comes back as a clear error record at no cost.

Who this is for

Market researchers sizing where demand for a product or topic sits. SEO and content teams choosing which countries or regions to localise for. Anyone comparing a keyword list across geographies without clicking through the Trends page keyword by keyword.

Who this is not for

This actor gives where a keyword is searched, not how much or when. Values are Google's relative 0 to 100 index per region, not search counts, and they cannot be compared across different keywords or runs. For interest over time and related queries per keyword, use the Google Trends Batch Scraper from the same publisher; for what is trending right now per country, Google Trends Trending Searches by Country.

Input fields

Field	Type	Required or default	What it does
keywords	list of text	required	Search terms, one per row. Each keyword is one input and one charged event; a keyword without enough search volume comes back as a free error record.
geo	text		Leave empty for a worldwide breakdown by country. Give a two-letter country code (US, GB, NL, DE ...) for a breakdown within that country.
resolution	text (REGION, CITY)	REGION	Used only when a country is set: REGION gives states or provinces, CITY gives cities. Worldwide is always by country.
timeframe	text (now 1-d, now 7-d, today 1-m, today 3-m, today 12-m, today 5-y, all)	today 12-m	The period the interest is measured over.
includeZeroRows	true/false	false	Google lists every region, also those with too little search volume (value 0, no data). Off by default so the list holds only regions with a real score.
language	text	en-US	Language of the region names (hl), e.g. en-US, nl, de.

Input example

{
    "keywords": ["bitcoin", "electric bike", "yoga"],
    "geo": "",
    "resolution": "REGION",
    "timeframe": "today 12-m",
    "includeZeroRows": false,
    "language": "en-US"
}

geo empty means worldwide by country. geo: "NL" with resolution: "REGION" gives the twelve Dutch provinces; resolution: "CITY" gives cities.

Output example

Field	Type	What it holds	Example
keyword	text	The term the interest was measured for.	electric bike
geo	text	The area that was measured in; empty means worldwide.	worldwide
resolution	text	How finely it was broken down: by country, by region or by city.	COUNTRY
timeframe	text	The period that was measured, in Google's own notation, for example "today 3-m".	today 12-m
regionCount	number	How many areas returned a figure.	40
topRegionCode	text	The code of the area with the most interest.	PK
topRegionName	text	The name of that area.	Pakistan
regions	list	Every area with its score on Google's scale of 0 to 100, where 100 is the area searching most.	[{"regionCode": "PK", "regionName": "Pakistan", "value":...

{
    "keyword": "bitcoin",
    "geo": "NL",
    "resolution": "REGION",
    "timeframe": "today 12-m",
    "regionCount": 12,
    "topRegionCode": "NL-NH",
    "topRegionName": "North Holland",
    "regions": [
        {"rank": 1, "regionCode": "NL-NH", "regionName": "North Holland", "value": 100, "hasData": true},
        {"rank": 2, "regionCode": "NL-FL", "regionName": "Flevoland", "value": 83, "hasData": true},
        {"rank": 3, "regionCode": "NL-ZH", "regionName": "South Holland", "value": 83, "hasData": true}
    ],
    "status": "ok"
}

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

{
    "input": "qzxwv nonsense 99999",
    "status": "error",
    "errorCode": "NO_DATA",
    "error": "No region has enough search volume for 'qzxwv nonsense 99999' in this scope and timeframe"
}

Error codes: BAD_QUERY, NO_DATA, BLOCKED. INPUT_TRUNCATED appears once when your input is longer than this actor accepts.

Pricing

Pay per event: one keyword-mapped event per keyword delivered with data, whatever the number of regions inside it. No charge for keywords that fail, no separate platform-usage surcharge.

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

What does the value mean? Google's own index: 100 is the region where the keyword takes the largest share of all searches in that region, and every other region is scaled against it. It measures popularity relative to local search volume, not absolute counts. A small region can score 100 with fewer searches than a large region scoring 40.

Why do some regions have no data? Too little search volume for Google to report. They are dropped by default; set includeZeroRows to true to get them with value 0 and hasData false.

Can I compare values between keywords? No. Each keyword is scaled on its own, so 60 for one keyword and 60 for another are not the same amount of interest. Compare regions within a keyword, not keywords with each other.

How many regions will I get? Worldwide: the countries with data; in testing on 13-09-2026 that was 40 to 66 of the 250 Google lists, depending on the keyword. Within a country: its first-level regions (12 for the Netherlands, 51 for the United States) or up to 200 cities.

Is personal data collected? No. Google Trends publishes aggregate, anonymised search interest; nothing about any individual is involved.

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 keywords 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.
