There is no official Google Trends API, and pytrends fails with “429 Too Many Requests” after a few calls. This tool retries with new IPs and sessions and returns clean JSON.

Competitor prices as listed in the Apify Store on 2026-10-03 (Bronze plan where tiers differ); they can change.
Are values search volumes?
No. Google Trends gives relative interest from 0 to 100.
Why do my numbers differ from the website?
Google samples its data; small differences between requests are normal.
Can an AI agent use it?
Yes. It is an MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fguiraud/google-trends-scraper (listed in the official MCP registry), and there is an agent skill for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Field-name guesses such as url or urls are accepted.
