Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Google Trends data for AI agents: interest over time, regions, rising queries and trending searches.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Marketing & social media
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http google-trends 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/google-trends-scraper' --header 'Authorization: Bearer {apify_token}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-trends": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/google-trends-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "google-trends": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/google-trends-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Your Apify API token, sent as 'Bearer '. Get it at https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations (free account).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Google Trends (via Apify) safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 35 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

Google Trends Scraper & API: keyword trends and Trending now

Google Trends Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts Google Trends data for any keywords and regions — interest over time, interest by region and city, rising and top related queries, and the trending searches for any country — at $1 per 1,000 keyword reports. It works as a Google Trends API: call it from code, schedule it for trend alerts, or let AI agents use it through Apify's MCP server.

Price: $1 per 1,000 keyword reports ($0.27–$0.90 on paid plans) · $0.50 per 1,000 trending searches · Run it: https://apify.com/automationnation/google-trends-scraper · Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/google-trends-scraper/

Quick facts

  • One row per keyword: the 0–100 timeline with dates, trend direction and change %, peak date, a one-sentence summary, interest by country / state / city, and top and rising related queries with growth % and Breakout flags.
  • Migrating from pytrends? The open-source pytrends-cloud package (github.com/retracn/pytrends-cloud) keeps pytrends' TrendReq interface and runs on this Actor: change one import, no more 429 errors.
  • Trending now for any country: search volume, growth %, start time, related searches and news articles; Only new trends mode turns scheduled runs into alerts.
  • Compare up to 5 terms like Google Trends, or any number of terms on one scale (rescaled through a shared anchor term).
  • Every Google Trends option: any country or subregion, past hour to 2004–present or custom dates, category, and web / image / news / YouTube / Shopping search; input as keywords, Google Trends URLs or a Google Sheet.
  • Price: $1 per 1,000 keyword reports and $0.50 per 1,000 trending searches on the Free plan (lower on paid plans); keywords with too little search volume are free. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 5,000 keyword reports.
  • Same input fields as apify/google-trends-scraper, and every row also includes that Actor's output fields.
  • Node.js? The open-source google-trends-api-cloud package (github.com/retracn/google-trends-api-cloud) keeps the google-trends-api npm API and JSON, runs on this Actor, and makes dailyTrends and realTimeTrends work again.

Example input

{

"searchTerms": [ "chatgpt", "gemini", "claude ai" ], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "today 12-m" }

Run it from code

REST API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automationnation~google-trends-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"searchTerms": ["chatgpt", "gemini", "claude ai"], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "today 12-m"}'

Python — see examples/python_example.py

# pip install apify-client

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("automationnation/google-trends-scraper").call(run_input={ "searchTerms": [ "chatgpt", "gemini", "claude ai" ], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "today 12-m" }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item.get("searchTerm"), item.get("trendDirection"), item.get("changePercent"), item.get("summary"))

JavaScript — see examples/node_example.mjs

// npm install apify-client

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('automationnation/google-trends-scraper').call({ "searchTerms": [ "chatgpt", "gemini", "claude ai" ], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "today 12-m" }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); for (const item of items) console.log(item.searchTerm, item.trendDirection, item.changePercent, item.summary);

FAQ

Is there an official Google Trends API? Google opened an official Google Trends API to a small group of alpha testers in 2025. For everyone else, Google Trends Scraper on Apify provides Google Trends data through Apify's REST API, Python and JavaScript clients, integrations and MCP.

What does Google Trends Scraper return? For each keyword: interest over time (0–100 with dates), trend direction, change %, peak date, a one-sentence summary, interest by region and city, and top and rising related queries. Trending now rows include search volume, growth %, start time, related searches and news articles.

Can it compare more than 5 keywords? Yes. With Compare all search terms on one scale, terms are batched around a shared anchor term and rescaled so any number of terms sit on one 0–100 scale.

How much does it cost? $1 per 1,000 keyword reports and $0.50 per 1,000 trending searches on Apify's Free plan, less on paid plans. Keywords without enough search volume and failed searches are free.

Can I switch from apify/google-trends-scraper? Yes. Keep your input (searchTerms, isMultiple, timeRange, customTimeRange, geo, category, startUrls, spreadsheetId, maxItems) and change the Actor ID; rows keep that Actor's field names next to the cleaner ones.
