What Is the Google Trends API?
Google Trends Search API is a trend intelligence API that programmatically extracts Google Trends data in structured JSON format, including Interest Over Time (0-100 index), regional geographic breakdowns, side-by-side keyword comparisons, and Breakout (+5,000% growth) rising search queries.
Google Trends is the ultimate source for analyzing search behavior, measuring consumer interest, and spotting emerging cultural and market trends. However, Google does not offer an official Google Trends API for developers.
Historically, developers relied on open-source libraries like PyTrends. But PyTrends makes unproxied HTTP requests to Google's internal endpoints, triggering immediate HTTP 429 Too Many Requests rate limits and CAPTCHA blocks. Our Google Trends API provides a commercial-grade PyTrends alternative — managing proxy rotation, cookie tokens, and request signatures server-side to deliver structured JSON data with a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Our API gives you full access to all Google Trends modules: Interest Over Time (0-100 relative search volume history), Interest by Region/Subregion (state, DMA, and city breakdown), Related Queries (Top searches and Breakout rising queries growing +5,000%), Related Topics, and Keyword Comparisons (comparing up to 5 keywords side-by-side).
