Google Trends Scraper - Fast, No Browser

Get Google Trends data in seconds: interest over time, interest by region, related queries (top + rising), comparisons of up to 5 terms, and Trending Now searches for any country with search volume, growth and news.

This Actor talks to Google Trends directly instead of opening a browser for every keyword. That makes it fast (40 searches in under a minute) and cheap, and you only pay per search.

Related queries	Top and rising queries for every term, including Breakout ones.

{
  "searchTerms": ["chatgpt", "iphone, samsung"],

Output example

One item per search (trimmed, real output):

{
  "searchTerms": ["chatgpt"],
  "geo": "IN",
  "timeRange": "today 12-m",
  "trendsUrl": "https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=chatgpt&date=today%2012-m&geo=IN",
  "interestOverTime": [
    { "date": "2025-11-02", "timestamp": 1762041600, "isPartial": false, "values": { "chatgpt": 79 } }
  ],
  "averages": { "chatgpt": 76 },
  "interestByRegion": [
    { "geoCode": "IN-PY", "geoName": "Puducherry", "values": { "chatgpt": 100 } }
  ],
  "relatedQueries": {
    "chatgpt": {
      "top": [
        { "query": "ai chatgpt", "value": 100, "formattedValue": "100" },
        { "query": "chatgpt login", "value": 74, "formattedValue": "74" }
      ],
      "rising": [
        { "query": "1980s photo prompt chatgpt", "value": 5750, "formattedValue": "Breakout" },
        { "query": "1980s ai photo prompt chatgpt", "value": 2300, "formattedValue": "+2,300%" }
      ]
    }
  },
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-03T13:52:05Z"
}

In a comparison (iphone, samsung), every point and region has one value per term:

{ "date": "2026-08-03", "values": { "iphone": 26, "samsung": 13 } }
{ "geoCode": "IN-PB", "geoName": "Punjab", "values": { "iphone": 67, "samsung": 33 } }

A Trending Now item:

{
  "type": "trendingNow",
  "title": "us midterm elections results",
  "geo": "IN",
  "searchVolume": 50000,
  "increasePercent": 1000,
  "startedAt": "2026-11-03T02:10:00Z",
  "isActive": true,
  "categories": ["Politics"],

FAQ

Why are the numbers 0-100? Google Trends shows relative interest, not raw search counts. 100 is the peak for the selected terms, place and time. In comparisons, all terms share the same scale. For interest by region in comparisons, Google returns each term's share in that region.

Where are related topics? Google does not return related topics to automated tools, so this Actor gives related queries only.

Why does my search have no data? Google hides data for terms with very low search volume. Try a broader term, a bigger region or a longer time range.

Is it legal to scrape Google Trends? This Actor only collects publicly available, aggregated Google Trends data. It does not collect personal data. Check that your use case follows the laws and terms that apply to you.
