Google Trends: Interest Over Time, Rising Queries, Trending Now

Google Trends Scraper API

Get Google Trends data for any list of keywords: interest over time, rising and top related queries, interest by region and Trending Now. Auto-retry, no 429 errors.

Runs in the cloud on Apify. No servers, no proxy setup, no code to maintain. [Open it on Apify](https://apify.com/serenido/google-trends-reliable)

Price: $1 per 1,000 results (one result = one keyword, or one Trending Now trend). Trending Now saves 25 trends per country unless you change trendingNowMaxPerCountry (0 = the whole list). No monthly fee. Apify's free plan gives $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. Current price.

What you get

• Interest over time with a ready summary (average, latest, peak, change in %), plus the exact peak hour for short time ranges
• Rising (breakout) and top related queries
• Interest by region
• Trending Now for any country: the full list like trends.google.com/trending, in the same order, with search volume, growth, trend breakdown, topics and news links (past 4 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days)
• Web, YouTube, News, Images and Shopping search, any country and time range

Quick start: Python

pip install -U apify-client

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("serenido/google-trends-reliable").call(run_input={ "searchTerms": [ "gym wear", "vw golf" ], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "past_12_months" })

for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items(): print(item)

Quick start: JavaScript (Node.js)

npm install apify-client

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor("serenido/google-trends-reliable").call({ "searchTerms": [ "gym wear", "vw golf" ], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "past_12_months" });

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items);

Quick start: one HTTP call

Runs the tool and returns the rows in one request. Good for runs under 5 minutes; for bigger runs use the Python or JavaScript example.

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

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"searchTerms": ["gym wear", "vw golf"], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "past_12_months"}'

Get your token in Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations.

Use it from AI apps (MCP)

Any app that supports remote MCP servers (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and others) can run this tool for you. Add this server URL: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=serenido/google-trends-reliable. Your Apify account connects on first use. Example config for Cursor:

{

"mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=serenido/google-trends-reliable" } } }

Input example

{

"searchTerms": [ "gym wear", "vw golf" ], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "past_12_months" }

Add "trendingNowGeos": ["US", "GB"] to also get the trending searches of those countries. "trendingNowHours" picks the time window ("4", "24", "48" or "168") and "trendingNowMaxPerCountry" how many trends to save (default 25, 0 = all). All options are listed on the input page.

Output example (one row)

{

"type": "keyword", "keyword": "gym wear", "geo": "US", "averageInterest": 68.8, "latestInterest": 57, "peakInterest": 100, "peakDate": "2026-04-12", "trendChangePct": 16, "trendDirection": "rising", "topRegions": "Wyoming (100), Kansas (52), Hawaii (43), California (37) ...", "topQueries": "best gym wear, what to wear to the gym, gym wear women ...", "risingQueries": "cheap womens gym wear (+250%), women's gym wear (+200%), cheap gym wear (+70%) ..." }

Trending Now example (one row)

Rows come in the same order as the Trending Now page ("By relevance").

{

"type": "trendingNow", "geo": "US", "timeWindowHours": 24, "rank": 3, "keyword": "pistons vs knicks", "searchVolume": 100000, "approxTraffic": "100K+", "volumeGrowthPct": 1000, "startedAt": "2026-10-27T22:20:00Z", "endedAt": null, "isActive": true, "relatedSearches": "knicks vs pistons, pistons, detroit pistons, pistons vs knicks where to watch ...", "topics": "Sports", "newsHeadlines": "Pistons vs. Knicks preview: 3-0 Pistons take on 0-3 Knicks | ..." }

A keyword can show up twice when it trended twice in the time window, like on the page. Each row has its own startedAt.
