Google Trends Scraper: Compare Unlimited Keywords, Growth & Breakouts

Get Google Trends data for any number of keywords in one run: interest over time, interest by region, related and rising searches, and ready-made growth metrics (year-over-year change, recent momentum, trend direction, seasonal peak). Every keyword is placed on one comparable 0-100 scale, past Google's 5-term limit.

Built for SEO and content planning, product and niche research, e-commerce, investors watching consumer demand, and anyone feeding Trends data into spreadsheets, dashboards or AI agents.

What you get per keyword

• timeline: interest over time (0-100), with valueOnCommonScale so every keyword shares the same scale
• relativePopularity and popularityRank across all your keywords (top keyword = 100)
• Growth metrics, computed for you:
  • yearOverYearChangePct: last 4 data points vs the same points one year earlier (needs a period longer than 12 months, such as Past 5 years)
  • recentChangePct: the latest quarter of the period vs the quarter before it
  • trendDirection: rising, falling or stable (fitted line over the whole period, ±15%)
  • peakDate, peakValue, peakMonth (seasonal peak, for periods of 2+ years), averageInterest, latestValue
• topRegions: where the keyword is searched most
• relatedQueriesTop, relatedQueriesRising and breakoutQueries (searches Google marks as "Breakout", growing more than 5000%)
• trendsUrl: the same chart on Google Trends, to check by eye

Optional Trending now: today's top trending searches for any country, with approximate search traffic and linked news articles.

Why this scraper

• One scale for unlimited keywords. Keywords are compared in overlapping groups that share a reference keyword, then chained. In testing, results matched Google's own 5-keyword comparison exactly.
• Answers, not just numbers. Year-over-year growth, momentum, direction and seasonality are calculated, so you can sort a list of 500 niche ideas by what is growing.
• You only pay for keyword reports with data. Keywords with too little search volume, and failed lookups, are free.
• Fast and light. No browser. A typical keyword takes about a second.

Pricing

Pay per event: you're charged per keyword report with data and per trending search returned. Keywords without enough search volume and failed lookups are not charged. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options to cap spending.

Notes

• Google Trends values are relative (0-100), not absolute search counts.
• When one keyword is more than ~100 times bigger than another, Google rounds the smaller one to 0. Its relativePopularity is then 0, meaning under about 1% of the top keyword.
• Related topics are returned only when Google provides them for the query.
• Data comes from the public Google Trends website. This actor is not affiliated with Google.
