Google Trends Trending Now Scraper: Every Trending Search

Google Trends Trending Now Scraper

Every search trending on Google right now, for any country or region, exactly as Google Trends' Trending Now page lists it. For each trend you get:

• search volume (Google's "500K+" figure as a number) and % increase
• when it started, when it ended, and whether it's still active
• related searches, category (Sports, Business and Finance, Technology… 19 in all) and how many news articles Google links
• a ready Google Trends explore link for the trend

Pick a window from the past 4 hours to 7 days, filter by category, keep only active trends, and run many countries in one run. Hundreds of trends per country, in seconds.

What people use it for

• News and content teams: what to write or post about today, per country
• SEO and marketers: catch rising searches before competitors do
• Traders and analysts: spot sudden spikes in interest in a company, product or event
• AI agents: a fresh "what's happening now" feed, one call per country

How to use it

1. Add one or more countries or regions (US, GB, AU, US-CA…).
2. Pick a window: 4, 24, 48 hours or 7 days.
3. Optionally pick categories, keep only active trends, or cap how many per country.
4. Run it, or schedule it (e.g. every 4 hours) to build your own trend history. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call the API.

What you get: 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,

  "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".

Pricing

$0.30 per 1,000 trends ($0.0003 each). No start fee, no monthly rental. A full US list for the past 24 hours (a few hundred trends) costs about $0.10. Failed countries are never charged.

Other Trending Now scrapers charge $1-1.50 per 1,000, some with a start fee per run. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the scraper stops cleanly when it reaches it.

Past trending searches

Google only keeps Trending Now for 7 days. For older days, PastCharts has free daily history by country back to November 2024.

Good to know

• One request per country, so runs are light. Residential proxy is the default because Google rate-limits datacenter IPs.
• searchVolume and increasePercent are Google's own rounded figures, not exact counts.
• Data accuracy: results are what Google Trends showed at run time. Check anything important before you rely on it.
