Google Trends (fast API)

bash

  -d '{"searchTerms": ["iphone, android"], "geo": "US", "timeRange": "today 12-m"}'

Input fields:

• searchTerms: list of queries. Comma-separate up to 5 keywords in one query to compare them.
• geo: US, JP, US-CA... empty = worldwide.
• timeRange: now 1-H, now 7-d, today 1-m, today 3-m, today 12-m, today 5-y, all, or customTimeRange as YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-MM-DD.

Reading the result

Each item has interestOverTime (date, values per keyword on Google's 0-100 scale), interestByRegion and relatedQueries (top, rising). Trending Now items have "type": "trendingNow" and a trends list. Values are relative, so compare keywords inside one query rather than across separate queries.
