Google Trends Scraper

Two tools in one:

• Explore: Google Trends data for any keyword, country and time range: interest over time, interest by region and related queries (top + rising), all in one report. Compare up to 5 terms side by side, or paste any Google Trends URL.
• Trending Now: every search trending in any country right now: search volume, % increase, when it started, whether it's still active, related searches and category. Covers the past 4 hours to 7 days, with hundreds of trends per country.

Built to keep working when Google rate-limits: every exit IP is paced, retired before Google blocks it, and swapped out immediately on a 429, so runs finish instead of hanging.

What people use it for

• SEO and content planning: find rising queries ("Breakout", +1,900%) before they're competitive
• Market research: compare brands, products or categories across countries and states
• Investing and trading signals: track search interest in tickers, products and themes over time
• Seasonality: 5 years of weekly data to time campaigns and stock
• Local demand: see which regions or cities search for a product most

What you get

Explore: one dataset item per report

{
  "searchTerms": ["coffee", "tea"],
  "geo": "AU",
  "timeRange": "today 12-m",
  "averages": { "coffee": 78, "tea": 41 },
  "interestOverTime": [
    { "date": "2026-09-20T00:00:00+00:00", "label": "Sep 20 – 26, 2026", "values": { "coffee": 81, "tea": 40 }, "isPartial": true }
  ],
  "interestByRegion": [
    { "geoCode": "AU-QLD", "geoName": "Queensland", "values": { "coffee": 70, "tea": 30 }, "hasData": true }

  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-23T09:12:44+00:00"
}

Values are Google's relative interest, from 0 to 100, where 100 is peak popularity for the terms, place and time you chose. Resolution follows Google: minute-level for the past hour or 4 hours, hourly for 7 days, daily up to 90 days, weekly up to 5 years, and monthly since 2004.

Spreadsheet-friendly CSVs are also saved to the run's key-value store, free: interest_over_time.csv, interest_by_region.csv and related_queries.csv, one row per value, ready for Excel or Google Sheets.

Trending Now: one dataset item per trend

{
  "type": "trendingNow",
  "rank": 1,
  "title": "jaxson dart",
  "geo": "US",
  "windowHours": 168,
  "searchVolume": 500000,
  "increasePercent": 1000,
  "startedAt": "2026-09-22T20:00:00+00:00",
  "endedAt": null,
  "isActive": true,
  "relatedSearches": ["jaxson dart", "jaxson dart injury", "jaxon dart"],
  "categories": ["Sports"],
  "newsArticleCount": 4,
  "trendsUrl": "https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=jaxson+dart&geo=US&date=now+7-d"
}

searchVolume is Google's lower bound, e.g. 500000 means "500K+ searches".

How to use it

Explore

1. Add your search terms, one report per line. Put coffee, tea on one line to compare them, or paste a Google Trends explore URL.
2. Pick a country (US, GB, AU, US-CA…) or leave it empty for worldwide.
3. Pick a time range, or type a custom one like 2024-01-01 2024-06-30.
4. Run it. Every report lands in the dataset; export it as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call the API.

Optional: category, search type (web, images, news, Shopping, YouTube), region resolution (countries, states, cities, US metro areas) and which sections to include.

Trending Now

1. Set What to scrape to Trending Now.
2. Add one or more countries or regions (US, GB, AU, US-CA…).
3. Pick a window (4 hours to 7 days). Optionally filter by category (Sports, Business and Finance, Technology… 19 in all), keep only active trends, or cap how many per country.

Pricing

• Explore: per report, not per row. One report covers everything above for up to 5 compared terms.
• Trending Now: per trend returned.

Failed reports, and terms Google has no data for, are never charged.

Tips

• Use residential proxies (the default). Google rate-limits datacenter IPs heavily. Trending Now is light, at one request per country.
• Up to 10 reports run in parallel, each on its own IP.
• Set a maximum cost per run in the run options, and the scraper stops cleanly when it reaches it.

Limits

• Google Trends values are relative (0–100) and sampled, so repeated runs can differ slightly. This is how Google Trends itself behaves.
• Very rare terms may return no data. That's Google's "not enough search volume".
• Related topics are not included. Google now withholds them from every anonymous (logged-out) session and returns an empty list, so any scraper that doesn't log in to a Google account gets none. Related queries are unaffected.
