Google Trends Trending API
Scrape Google Trends Trending data with one API call. Returns what people in one country or region are searching for right now, with no keyword in: the Google Trends Trending Now list for a place and a time window. Each item has `rank` (Google's relevance position), `title`, `search_volume` (the lower bound of Google's bucket, so 50000 means 50K+), `increase_percent` (Google shows at most 1000), `started_at`, `ended_at` and `active` (still trending when `ended_at` is null), `categories`, `breakdown` (the related searches Google groups into the trend) and up to 3 `news` articles Google links to it. `total` counts every trend matching your filters before `limit`. Narrow with `hours`, `category` and `status`, and reorder with `sort`; these are the same filters trends.google.com/trending offers. Google publishes no worldwide list, so `location` is required. A place and window with nothing trending returns 404 at 0 credits; filters that match nothing return an empty list at 0 credits. Typically under 2 seconds; allow 30 seconds for the slow tail. Exact repeats within 5 minutes are served from cache at 0 credits.

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| location | Yes | Where to read trends. An ISO country code ('DE', 'US', 'KR'), its English name ('Germany'), or an ISO 3166-2 region inside it ('DE-BY', 'US-CA', 'GB-SCT'). Google covers 125 countries and has no worldwide list; a country it does not cover is rejected with a free 400. |
| hours | No | Only trends that started in the past 4, 24, 48 or 168 hours (7 days). Defaults to 24. (4 | 24 | 48 | 168) |
| category | No | Keep trends Google tagged with this category: autos_and_vehicles, beauty_and_fashion, business_and_finance, climate, entertainment, food_and_drink, games, health, hobbies_and_leisure, jobs_and_education, law_and_government, other, pets_and_animals, politics, science, shopping, sports, technology, or travel_and_transportation. These are Trending Now's categories, not the numeric codes /v1/google_trends/explore takes. Defaults to every category.

| status | No | `active` keeps only trends that are still trending. Defaults to `all`, which also returns trends that have already ended inside the window. (all | active) |
| sort | No | relevance (Google's own order, the default), search_volume (largest first), recency (most recently started first), or title (A to Z). (relevance | search_volume | recency | title) |
| limit | No | How many trends to return after filtering and sorting, 1 to 500. Defaults to 100. |
