This endpoint will provide you with the keyword popularity data from the ‘Explore’ feature of Google Trends. You can check keyword trends for Google Search, Google News, Google Images, Google Shopping, and YouTube.
If your system requires delivering instant results, the Live method is the best solution for you. Unlike the Standard method, this method doesn’t require making separate POST and GET requests to the corresponding endpoints.
Note:users. You can submit more Live requests, however, keep in mind that they might not be completed in time. You may receive limit-related errors if over 250 Live ‘Google Trends Explore’ tasks are sent to our system within a minute.
It’s recommended to use the Standard method. It allows sending up to 2000 API calls per minute, with each POST call containing up to 100 tasks. The Standard method requires making separate POST and GET requests, but it’s more affordable. Using this method you can retrieve the results after our system collects them.
