Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

TRENDS API

 Hey Chetan Bhai : Do you have any API similar to Google Trends API ? Do you know any other ?

ChatGPT said:

Chetan Bhai, I don’t have a native “Google Trends”-type API of my own, but I can absolutely work with third-party ones that give you similar functionality.

Here’s the quick landscape:


1. Google Trends API (Unofficial)

  • Official Google Trends API does not exist — Google never released one.
  • But there are unofficial Python libraries like pytrends that act as a wrapper around Google Trends.
  • They can fetch:
    • Interest over time
    • Interest by region
    • Related queries & topics
    • Trending searches
  • Limitations: Google may block if you request too frequently.

2. Alternative APIs for Trend & Popularity Data

API / Platform

Key Features

Notes

GDELT Project API

Global news mentions, trends, and sentiment analysis

Free, updated every 15 min

SerpApi (Google Search Trends)

Paid API that scrapes Google Trends, news, and search results

Reliable but costs money

Talkwalker API

Social media and news trends tracking

Paid, more for enterprise

Reddit API

Trending posts & keywords in real time

Great for niche audience tracking

Twitter/X API

Hashtag & keyword trends

Paid tiers now, but powerful

Ahrefs / SEMrush / SimilarWeb APIs

Search keywords & trend data

Paid, SEO-focused


3. AI-Driven Trend Prediction

I can also build you a custom “trend radar” by:

  • Pulling raw search, news, and social data via these APIs
  • Cleaning & merging the results
  • Using AI to predict emerging topics before they peak

If you want, I can prepare a ready-to-use Python script with pytrends + one backup data source, so you can run your own “Google Trends-like” dashboard without depending entirely on Google’s whims.

Do you want me to go ahead and make that script for you so you can run it today?
