Google Trends Scraper & API (Free): Interest, Regions, Trending

Google Trends Scraper (Free): Interest, Regions & Trending Now

Free Google Trends API: get interest over time, interest by region, related queries and related topics for any keyword, country and period, plus today's trending searches in any country. No Actor fee: you only pay the small Apify platform usage of your run (a few cents for hundreds of keywords, usually covered by the free plan).

• 📈 Interest over time: the 0–100 curve for any period (past hour to 2004), with a free summary per term: average, peak and its date, latest value, and trend in %.
• 🗺️ Interest by region: where a term is searched most, by country, region/state, city or US metro area.
• 🔎 Related queries and topics: top and rising searches, including “Breakout” terms (more than +5,000%), the best source of new content and product ideas.
• ⚖️ Compare terms: up to 5 terms on the same scale, like the Compare button on trends.google.com, for as many groups as you want.
• 🔥 Trending now: today's trending searches of 120+ countries, with approximate search volume and the news articles behind each trend.
• 🧭 Every filter of Google Trends: country or region, category, and search type (web, images, news, YouTube, Google Shopping).

💰 Price

Free. This Actor charges no fee. Apify bills only the platform usage of your run (compute and proxy), typically a few cents for a run of hundreds of keywords. The Apify free plan includes monthly credit.

❓ FAQ

What do the numbers mean? Google Trends values are relative: 100 is the peak popularity of the term for the chosen place and period, 50 is half as popular. They are not search volumes. When terms are compared, they share one scale.

Why do some requests fail with “rate limit”? Google Trends limits how many requests one IP can make. The Actor changes IP and retries automatically. For hundreds of keywords in one run, choose residential proxies in the Proxy option.

Where do I find a category ID? Open trends.google.com, choose a category, and copy the number after cat= in the address bar (e.g. 71 = Food & Drink).

Can I schedule it? Yes: create a Task with your keywords and schedule it daily or weekly in Apify, then connect the results to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or n8n.

Is it affiliated with Google? No. It reads the public Google Trends pages, like a visitor would.
