Google Trends API
Trends, plus the actual numbers.
Interest over time, interest by region and related queries for any keyword and country, plus an estimate of absolute monthly searches. Google Trends alone only gives a 0–100 index. Runs on Apify, so there are no proxies or 429 errors for you to manage.

These don't compare one-to-one. Most scrapers charge per result (a row or data point), and one keyword can produce many results. Ours charges per keyword report, with the full series in one row. If you only need the raw 0–100 index for many keywords, a per-result scraper such as apify/google-trends-scraper will usually cost less. Ours is worth it when you want the absolute volume estimate and everything in one row per keyword.

The library most tutorials use is archived
- pytrends was archived by its maintainer in April 2025 and is now read-only. Scripts that loop over keywords often get
429 Too Many Requests, especially from cloud servers. - Google has announced an official Trends API, but access is a limited alpha by application.
- A hosted Actor handles retries and proxies on Apify's side. You send keywords and get JSON back.
Pickleball vs padel, United States, past 12 months
From a run on October 17, 2026 (2 keyword reports, 1 comparison, 1 volume lookup: about $0.048 at list price):
| Keyword | Avg. interest | Peak week | Est. monthly searches | Google Ads volume (latest month) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pickleball | 65.5 | Apr 12, 2026 | ≈ 682,000 | 673,000 (Sep 2026) |
| padel | 58.6 | Jun 21, 2026 | ≈ 109,000 | 110,000 (Aug 2026) |
In a head-to-head comparison, pickleball took 86% of the combined estimated searches. Top related queries were “pickleball paddle” and “padel racket”. Region values are relative within Google's sample: Wyoming came out at 100 for both terms, which shows how noisy small-state data can be.

Questions
- How is the absolute volume estimated?
The Trends index is scaled to Google Ads monthly volumes for the same months (from DataForSEO). Each row reports the fit error and an estimate-confidence label. - Can I compare up to 5 keywords?
Yes. Comma-separate them in one entry to get a comparison on a shared scale, as on the Trends website.
