Google Trends Scraper

📈 Google Trends Scraper

Get Google Trends data as clean JSON, one row per search term. Each result holds interest over time, interest by country or region, and the top and rising related queries, with no Google account and no API key. Compare up to five terms on one chart, or paste an explore URL you already have.

✨ Why use Google Trends Scraper?

• 📊 Full Trends picture — interest over time, geography, related queries, and related topics in a single item.
• ⚖️ Compare terms — separate up to five terms with commas to compare them on the same chart.
• 🌍 Geo and time control — worldwide or a single country, from the past hour to 2004 onward, or a custom date range.
• 🔗 Terms, URLs, or a Sheet — search terms, explore URLs, or a public Google Sheet with a term list.
• 🔓 No login — it reads public Trends pages only.
• 💸 Cheap — $2 per 1,000 results, and one result is a whole term, not one time point.

🎯 Use cases

💰 Pricing

$2 per 1,000 results, which is $0.002 per result. A result is one search term, one comparison, or one Trends URL, never one time point.

Worked example: 100 terms cost $0.20 in result fees. Compute and residential proxy traffic ($2 per GB) are billed separately at standard rates; a single-term run at the default 256 MB costs about $0.003 in total including the $0.002 result fee.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal? The actor reads publicly visible Google Trends pages. You are responsible for using the data in line with Google's terms and local law.

Do I need a Google account or a proxy? No account. Residential proxy is selected by default because Google Trends rate-limits datacenter addresses.

Can I compare terms? Yes. Tick Multiple terms and enter coffee, tea, or paste an explore URL whose q parameter already lists several terms.

Why are some geography lists empty? Worldwide searches fill interest by country. A country search fills subregions, and cities or metros when Trends has them. A list stays empty when Trends does not publish that breakdown.

How many results can I get? As many as you set in Max items; 0 means no limit. Each term or URL is one result.

Can I schedule it or call it from code? Yes. Use schedules in the console or start runs through the API.

⚠️ Limits

• A comparison holds at most five terms. Extra comma-separated terms are dropped.
• Short ranges such as the past hour return fewer time points. The past 12 months is weekly.
• Related queries or topics are omitted when Trends has nothing to show. Related topics came back empty in several of our test searches.
• City and metro tables appear only when Trends returns them for the selected country.
• The Google Sheet must be public. A private sheet is skipped.
• An invalid URL is skipped and the run continues.
• Google Trends can rate-limit requests; the actor retries, but heavy runs may be slower. In our test 600 terms took about 16 minutes and 8 of them still failed after retries; the status message counts them.
• Very large inputs (roughly more than 600 terms in one run) can be rejected before the run starts. Split big lists across several runs or use the Google Sheet input.
