Google Trends Data Freshness and Accuracy

API Usage — Use as a Google Trends API

This actor is designed to be used as a Google Trends API replacement via Apify's REST API, Python SDK, or JavaScript SDK. No official Google Trends API exists — this actor fills that gap programmatically.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("vasram/daily-trend-intelligence").call(run_input={
    "country": "IN",
    "maxTrends": 10,
    "includeNews": True,
    "includeContentIdeas": True,
    "language": "en",
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    captions = item["content_ideas"]["social_captions"]
    print(f"#{item['rank']} {item['keyword']} ({item['trend_velocity']})")
    print(f"  Twitter: {captions['twitter']}")
    print(f"  Blog ideas: {item['content_ideas']['blog_titles'][0]}")

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('vasram/daily-trend-intelligence').call({
    country: 'US',
    maxTrends: 10,
    includeNews: true,
    includeContentIdeas: true,
    language: 'en',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

items.forEach(item => {
    const { twitter, instagram, tiktok } = item.content_ideas.social_captions;
    console.log(`#${item.rank} ${item.keyword}`);
    console.log(`Twitter: ${twitter}`);
});

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vasram~daily-trend-intelligence/runs" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "country": "US",
    "maxTrends": 10,
    "includeNews": true,
    "includeContentIdeas": true,
    "language": "en"
  }'

---

Troubleshooting

Run completes but dataset is empty Check that includeContentIdeas is set to true. If the actor cannot reach Google Trends RSS for your selected country, try switching to US to verify the actor is working, then retry your country.

AI-generated content looks generic This happens when no news articles are found for a trend. Try enabling includeNews: true and setting language to match your country's primary language. The AI generates much better content when it has real news context to work from.

Trending topics are in a foreign language Expected behavior. Google Trends returns topics in the local language of the selected country. The language field only controls which language news articles are fetched in — not the trending keywords themselves.

Run takes longer than expected Each trend requires an AI call to generate content ideas. With maxTrends: 20 and includeContentIdeas: true, expect 4–6 minutes. Reduce maxTrends or set includeContentIdeas: false for faster runs.

A specific country shows no trends Google Trends RSS availability varies by country. If your country returns empty results, open an issue and we will investigate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any API keys? No. Everything is built in. Just click Start.

How often should I run this Google Trends scraper? Once or twice daily covers most use cases. Use Apify Scheduler to automate this.

Can I scrape Google Trends from multiple countries in one run? Not in a single run. Run the actor once per country. You can automate multi-country monitoring using Apify Scheduler with different input configurations.

Can I get historical Google Trends data? No. This actor shows today's trending topics only. For historical data, use a dedicated Google Trends historical API tool.

Is the AI-generated content ready to publish? The AI generates strong, context-aware starting points grounded in real news. We recommend using the output as a framework and adding your own voice before publishing.

Can I use this as a Google Trends API replacement? Yes. This actor provides full programmatic access to today's Google Trends data via Apify's API, schedulers, and webhooks — without needing an official Google Trends API (which doesn't exist for free). Use it anywhere you'd use an API: Python scripts, Make automations, Zapier workflows, or direct HTTP calls.

Does this Google Trends scraper work for non-English topics? Yes. Google Trends returns topics in the local language of the selected country. Set the language field to control which language news articles are fetched in. For example, set country: IN, language: hi to get Hindi news context for Indian trends.

How is this different from other Google Trends scrapers on Apify? Most Google Trends scrapers return raw keyword data only. This actor goes further — it automatically finds the news context behind each trend, then generates AI blog titles, social captions for Twitter/Instagram/TikTok, and 10 SEO keywords per trend. It is a complete content research pipeline, not just a data scraper.
