Google Trends Time-Range Analysis
This skill guides you on how to query and analyze Google Trends data for trending topics within a configurable time window, helping users discover real-time popular searches and emerging trends across 18 supported regions.
Core Concepts
Google Trends reflects real user search interest on Google. This tool retrieves trending topics (recently popular queries) for a chosen country/region over a specified number of recent days. It is ideal for spotting what is currently gaining traction in a market.
Key data points per trending query:
- query -- the trending search term
- searchVolume -- relative search volume value
- increasePercentage -- percentage change in search interest (-100 to 100, unit: %)
- startTime / endTime -- timestamps bounding the trend observation window
A positive increasePercentage means rising interest; a negative value means declining interest. A value near 100 signals an explosive spike.
Parameter Guide
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| days | integer | No | 7 | Time range in days. Common values: 1 (last 24 hours), 2, 7 (past week) |
| region | string | No | US | Country/region code. See Supported Regions below |
Supported Regions
US (United States), GB (United Kingdom), JP (Japan), CA (Canada), MX (Mexico), DE (Germany), FR (France), IT (Italy), ES (Spain), NL (Netherlands), AU (Australia), SG (Singapore), AE (United Arab Emirates), BR (Brazil), IN (India), TR (Turkey), PL (Poland), SE (Sweden)
Default region is US. Use US when the user does not specify a region.
API Usage
This tool calls the LinkFox tool gateway API. See references/api.md for calling conventions, request parameters, and response structure. You can also execute scripts/google_trends_rising.py directly to run queries.
Usage Examples
1. What's trending in the US over the past week?
{"days": 7, "region": "US"}2. Hot topics in Japan in the last 24 hours
{"days": 1, "region": "JP"}3. Trending searches in Germany over the past 2 days
{"days": 2, "region": "DE"}4. Recent buzz in Brazil this week
{"days": 7, "region": "BR"}5. What's gaining popularity in the UK right now?
{"days": 1, "region": "GB"}Display Rules
1. Present data clearly: Show trending queries in a well-formatted table with columns for query, search volume, and increase percentage. Sort by search volume or increase percentage as appropriate. 2. Highlight spikes: When increasePercentage is notably high (e.g., above 50%), call attention to these breakout topics. 3. Time context: Always state the time range and region in your summary so the user knows exactly what window the data covers. 4. Chart data: If the response includes chartOption, describe the chart structure (title, axes, data points) so the user understands the visual trend. 5. Error handling: When a query fails, explain the reason based on the error response and suggest adjusting parameters (e.g., try a different region code or time range).
Important Limitations
- Unstructured data: Results from this tool are unstructured and cannot be fed into secondary SQL-based query tools for further processing.
- Relative volumes: Search volume values are relative, not absolute counts.
- Short time windows: The
daysparameter controls recency; this tool is designed for recent/real-time trends, not long historical analysis. - Region coverage: Only the 18 listed regions are supported. Unsupported region codes will produce errors.
User Expression & Scenario Quick Reference
Applicable -- Queries about trending/popular topics on Google:
| User Says | Scenario |
|---|---|
| "What's trending right now" | Real-time trending topics |
| "Hot searches in [country]" | Regional trend discovery |
| "What topics are popular this week" | Weekly popularity overview |
| "Any viral topics in [market]" | Breakout / spike detection |
| "Show me Google Trends for [region]" | Region-specific trend query |
| "What's buzzing in the last 24 hours" | Short-window trend scan |
| "Trending searches in [country] recently" | Recent trend analysis |
| "What are people searching for in [region]" | General search interest exploration |
Not applicable -- Needs beyond trending topic discovery:
- Historical keyword search volume over months/years (use a dedicated Google Trends historical tool)
- Amazon-specific keyword or ASIN analysis (use ABA tools)
- Advertising / PPC campaign management
- Social media trend analysis (Twitter/X, TikTok, etc.)
- SEO ranking or backlink analysis
- Competitor website traffic estimation
Boundary judgment: When users say "market trends" or "what's popular", if it boils down to discovering what people are currently searching for on Google in a specific region, this skill applies. If they are asking about stock market trends, social media virality, or long-term historical search patterns, it does not apply.
Feedback:
Auto-detect and report feedback via the Feedback API when any of the following apply: 1. The functionality or purpose described in this skill does not match actual behavior 2. The skill's results do not match the user's intent 3. The user expresses dissatisfaction or praise about this skill 4. Anything you believe could be improved
Call the feedback API as specified in references/api.md. Do not interrupt the user's flow.

Handling Large Responses
To avoid overflowing the agent context, persist the response to disk and extract only the fields you need:
python scripts/response_io.py run --script scripts/google_trends_rising.py --out-dir <DIR> '<params>'
python scripts/response_io.py read <file> --fields "<paths>" # or --path "<JMESPath>"Pick--out-diroutside any git working tree (e.g./tmp/...on Unix,%TEMP%/...on Windows). Persisted responses may contain PII, pricing, or auth-sensitive data — do not commit them. Files are not auto-deleted; clean up when the task is done.
run writes the full response to a file and emits only a schema preview + file path. read projects specific fields, with --limit/--offset for slicing and --format json|jsonl|csv|table for output.
When to prefer this pattern — apply your judgment based on the response characteristics, e.g.:
- High field count per record, or fields you don't need
- Batch/paginated results (multiple items per call)
- Long-text fields (descriptions, reviews, HTML, time series)
- Output reused across later steps rather than consumed immediately
For small, single-use responses, calling the main script directly is fine.
⚠️ The preview is a truncated schema + sample, not the full data. Any field-level decision must read from the persisted file via read. <!-- /LF_LARGE_RESPONSE_BLOCK -->
