Google Trends Daily Scraper API

Discover what people are searching for now and measure 12 months of demand for any topic. Google Trends Scraper exports structured trend data for SEO research, content planning, campaign timing, market analysis, and competitor monitoring.

The Actor uses Google Trends' free public RSS and web endpoints. It requires no API key, paid proxy, or third-party data subscription.

What it does

• daily_trending returns the latest trending searches for a country, including rank, approximate traffic, publication time, and related news coverage.
• interest_over_time returns weekly Google Trends interest points and the average interest score for each requested keyword over the last 12 months.
• Every result is stored as its own dataset item, ready for JSON, CSV, Excel, or API export.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
mode	string	No	daily_trending	daily_trending or interest_over_time.
geo	string	No	US	Google Trends geographic code, such as US, GB, IN, or DE.
keywords	string[]	No	["ai", "bitcoin"]	Topics used only by interest_over_time.
language	string	No	en	Google Trends interface language code.

Daily trends example:

{
  "mode": "daily_trending",
  "geo": "US",
  "language": "en"
}

Interest-over-time example:

{
  "mode": "interest_over_time",
  "geo": "US",
  "keywords": ["ai", "bitcoin"],
  "language": "en"
}

Output

A daily trending result looks like this:

{
  "rank": 1,
  "title": "example trending search",
  "approxTraffic": "10000+",
  "publishedAt": "2026-07-16T19:00:00.000Z",
  "relatedNews": [
    {
      "title": "Example related headline",
      "url": "https://example.com/article",
      "source": "Example News"
    }
  ],
  "geo": "US"
}

An interest-over-time result looks like this:

{
  "keyword": "ai",
  "geo": "US",
  "points": [
    {
      "date": "2025-07-20T00:00:00.000Z",
      "value": 62
    }
  ],
  "averageValue": 71
}

Interest values use Google's normalized 0–100 scale: 100 is the topic's peak popularity for the selected location and period, while 50 means half the relative search interest.

Run locally

Use Node.js 20 or newer:

npm install
npm start

To provide local input, save JSON to storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json. Results are written to storage/datasets/default/.

Reliability and cost

Requests use timeouts, retries with backoff, and a maximum concurrency of five. A failed keyword does not stop other keywords from being processed. The Actor uses only free public Google Trends sources and charges one pay-per-event result event for each successfully stored dataset item.

How to use Google Trends Daily Scraper API

1. Open Google Trends Daily Scraper API on Apify Store and click Try for free.
2. Fill in the input (the form is prefilled with a working example) and click Start.
3. Watch results appear in the Output tab, then download them as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the API.
4. Optional: save the input as a task and add a schedule to run it automatically, or connect it to your tools with integrations and webhooks.

Use Google Trends Daily Scraper API with AI agents (MCP)

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client this Actor as a tool through the hosted Apify MCP server. The agent sees the input fields with descriptions and example values, runs the Actor, and reads the results.

MCP server URL (this Actor only):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/google-trends-scraper

Claude Code:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/google-trends-scraper" --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and other clients (mcp.json or the client's MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/google-trends-scraper",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Clients that support sign-in (such as Claude.ai connectors) can use the URL without a token and log in to Apify instead. Get your token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations, or generate a ready config for your client at mcp.apify.com. In the agent the tool is named technicaldost--google-trends-scraper; ask it, for example, to "run Google Trends Daily Scraper API with {}".

AI agents without an Apify account can also run and pay for this Actor per request with x402 agentic payments.

Run Google Trends Daily Scraper API via API

Run the Actor and get its results in one call (replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/technicaldost~google-trends-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("technicaldost/google-trends-scraper").call(run_input={})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / TypeScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('technicaldost/google-trends-scraper').call({});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Long runs: start them with POST /v2/acts/technicaldost~google-trends-scraper/runs and fetch the dataset when the run finishes, or receive a webhook.
