FAQ

Does Google Trends Scraper return historical interest-over-time data?

No. Version 0.1 focuses on Daily Search Trends RSS. Historical timelines, regional interest, related queries, and related topics should be added as separately validated slices.

Does it require a Google API key?

No. The tool reads Google's public Trends RSS feed through Better Fetch and does not use account-specific Google credentials.

Which countries are supported?

The input accepts two-letter country codes such as US, AU, GB, CA, IN, and DE. Results depend on what Google Trends publishes for that country.
