Google Trends Scraper: 50+ Terms on One Scale, Daily Data

Compare 50+ keywords on one Google Trends scale. Pay only for data you get.

Google Trends only compares 5 terms at a time, and every request is scaled differently, so you cannot put 20 products, brands or topics side by side. This actor can. It also gives you daily data for any date range (Google switches to weekly after about 90 days) and ranks everything for you.

• Any number of terms on one 0-100 scale, ranked from most to least searched
• Daily data from 2004 to today, not just the last 90 days
• A ready-to-open spreadsheet with every run, one column per keyword
• Failed or empty keywords are never charged. No start fee.
• No browser, no login, no API key. 2 to 5 seconds per keyword.

What does it cost?

You pay per result that contains data. Nothing else.

You run	You pay
Full report for 100 keywords	$0.50
Compare 50 terms on one scale	$0.25
One year of daily data for 10 terms	$0.30
Trending searches in 4 countries (about 40 items)	$0.04
A keyword that fails or has no data	$0.00

Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, enough for about 1,000 keyword reports. You can also set a maximum cost per run, and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Real output: 20 drinks compared worldwide over 5 years, first 5 rows shown. Trend % compares the last quarter of the period with the first quarter.

The spreadsheet

Every run saves a CSV you can open in Excel or Google Sheets and chart in one click:

date,coffee,tea,espresso,mate,matcha,latte
2025-09-21,56,35,7,8,8,7
2025-09-28,63,35,8,8,8,7

Full data per keyword (JSON, CSV, Excel or API)

Interest over time, interest by region, top and rising related queries, plus the summary numbers above. Every row has a status field, so your integration always knows why a keyword is empty.

Input examples

Compare 8 drinks over 5 years:

{
  "mode": "compare",
  "searchTerms": ["coffee", "tea", "matcha", "espresso", "latte", "kombucha", "chai", "mate"],
  "timeRange": "today 5-y"
}

Daily interest since 2020 in Portugal:

{ "mode": "daily", "searchTerms": ["padel", "surfing"], "geo": "PT", "startDate": "2020-01-01" }

Full keyword report in the US, YouTube search only:

{ "mode": "keywords", "searchTerms": ["air fryer", "robot vacuum"], "geo": "US", "property": "youtube" }

Trending now in four countries:

{ "mode": "trending", "trendingGeos": ["US", "PT", "BR", "KR"] }

Any custom period: add "customTimeRange": "2024-01-01 2024-12-31".

Output example (one compared term, past 12 months)

{
  "type": "comparison",
  "keyword": "matcha",
  "rank": 5,
  "average": 8.25,
  "peak": 10,
  "peakDate": "2026-02-15",
  "latest": 8,
  "trendPct": 22.3,
  "lowPrecision": false,
  "anchor": "coffee",
  "geo": "WORLDWIDE",
  "timeRange": "today 12-m",
  "status": "ok",
  "interestOverTime": [{ "date": "2025-09-21", "value": 8.0 }, { "date": "2025-09-28", "value": 8.0 }]
}

A keyword with no data comes back like this, and costs nothing:

{ "type": "keyword", "keyword": "zxqv qpq", "status": "error", "error": "no interest-over-time data (term too rare or blocked)" }

How accurate is it?

• Comparisons: every batch of up to 5 terms shares one anchor term, so all batches land on the same scale. Terms that were below 5 on Google's scale in their batch are flagged lowPrecision: true, because Google rounds to whole numbers.
• Daily data: overlapping 90-day windows are chained together. Checked against Google's own weekly series over 5 years, the stitched data matches at r = 0.99 (bitcoin) and r = 0.996 (padel), within 1 to 2 points on the 0-100 scale.

Pricing details

Pay per event:

Event	Price	When
Keyword analysis	$0.005	one successful row in Keywords mode
Comparison term	$0.005	one successful row in Compare mode
Daily window	$0.005	one 90-day window in Daily mode (1 year = 6 windows)
Trending item	$0.001	one trending search in Trending mode

Rows with status: "error" are never charged. There is no start fee.

Reliability

• Direct data requests, no browser, so it does not break when Google redesigns the Trends page.
• Apify datacenter proxy by default, a fresh IP every 25 keywords, automatic backoff when Google throttles, and an automatic switch to residential proxy if a worker keeps getting blocked.
• Tested on Apify with 100 keywords in a row: 100 of 100 succeeded.

Limitations

• Values are relative interest (0-100), as on Google Trends, not absolute search volumes.
• Related topics are not included: Google returns them empty to automated clients. Related queries are included.
• Trending now uses Google's public trending feed: about 10 searches per country.
