## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Google Trends data you can extract

### Popular use cases

Compare brand awareness and search interest across markets, time periods, and Google properties.

### How to use Give Me Trends

1. Select **Analyze keywords**, **Trending Now**, or **Find topics**.
2. Add your keywords and target countries.
3. Choose the time range and data you want to collect.
4. Click **Start**.
5. Open the Dataset to review or export your results.

Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML. You can also send them to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, or your own application.

### Compare keywords for SEO

Analyze up to 5 keywords together to see which term has stronger demand and how their popularity changes over time.

```json
{
  "operation": "analyze",
  "keywords": ["email marketing", "marketing automation"],
  "geos": ["US"],
  "timeRange": "today 12-m",
  "interestOverTime": true,
  "interestByRegion": true,
  "relatedQueries": true,
  "relatedTopics": true
}
```

This analysis can reveal:

- which keyword receives more relative interest
- whether demand is increasing or declining
- seasonal peaks worth targeting
- top and rising related searches
- regions with the strongest audience interest

### Monitor Trending Now

Track current trending searches across one or multiple countries.

```json
{
  "operation": "trendingNow",
  "geos": ["US", "GB", "ES"],
  "trendingWindow": "24"
}
```

Trending Now returns Google's current country feed. It is not filtered by the keywords field, so Trending Now rows do not include an input query.

### Clean, analysis-ready results

Every timeline point, region, related search, topic, suggestion, and trending search is returned as a separate Dataset row.

This makes the data easy to:

- filter and sort inside Apify
- export to spreadsheets
- visualize in dashboards
- use in SEO reports
- process through APIs and automations

The Dataset includes dedicated views for **Interest over time**, **Interest by location**, **Related queries and topics**, **Trending Now**, **Topic suggestions**, and **Explore widgets**.

Each row keeps the original input keyword in `query`. Regional rows use `locationName` and `locationCode`, while related topics use `topicId`, `title`, and `topicType`, making exports consistent across searches and countries.

The `OUTPUT` record summarizes result counts by type, empty sections, retries, proxy usage, and any job-level issues. Optional raw payloads are stored separately in `RAW-*` key-value records so they do not clutter or increase the paid Dataset result count.

### Pricing

Give Me Trends uses pay-per-result pricing.

```text
$0.20 per 1,000 results on the Free plan
plus platform usage
```

Starter, Scale, and Business users receive discounted result pricing. One result represents one timeline point, keyword average, location, related query, related topic, trending search, keyword suggestion, or Explore widget. Errors and optional raw diagnostic payloads are not written as paid Dataset results.

Run spending limits are honored. When the configured item or maximum-charge limit is reached, the Actor stops writing results, cancels remaining work, and reports `chargeLimitReached` in `OUTPUT`.

Requests start directly using the same private-API flow as Google Trends. When enabled, the selected Apify Proxy is used only after Google blocks a direct request, reducing platform usage costs.

### Automate Google Trends monitoring

Use Apify schedules and integrations to:

- monitor important keywords every day or week
- detect changes in brand or competitor interest
- send new trending searches to Slack
- update SEO dashboards automatically
- export recurring reports to Google Sheets
- trigger workflows when a run finishes
