We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Read public Google Trends data as clean JSON.

    line 33
  2. Very specific:

    Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh.

    line 68
  3. Distinctive:

    Every response uses the same envelope:

    line 76

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Google Trends API skill

Read public Google Trends data as clean JSON. This Google Trends API skill has two endpoints: explore returns interest-over-time for a term, and rising returns the related queries gaining momentum around it — the standard inputs for keyword research, trend spotting and content planning.

This skill wraps 2 live Google Trends endpoints from the ScraperSocial API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.

When to use this skill

  • You are checking whether interest in a topic is growing or fading.
  • You want the rising related searches around a seed keyword, for content or SEO planning.
  • A user asks whether something is trending.

Do not use this skill when

  • You need absolute search volume. Trends returns relative interest, indexed to 100 — it is not a volume estimate, and no endpoint here converts it into one.
  • You need per-result cheapness. explore costs 6 credits, the priciest non-AI call in this repo outside the video endpoints. Do not loop it over a large keyword list without checking the budget.

Setup

Permissions and scope

These scripts do exactly three things and nothing else: read one environment variable (SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY), send HTTPS requests to https://api.scrapersocial.com (the host is a constant in the code, not configurable), and print JSON. They run as node scripts/<name>.js with no other shell use, no file writes and no persistence. call_endpoint.js accepts only the 2 documented /v1/google_trends/ paths in the table below and refuses anything else before a request is made.

Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh. --limit is clamped to 50: above that the API returns an async job instead of data.

Example

node skills/google-trends-api/scripts/get_explore.js "electric vehicles"

Every response uses the same envelope:

{ "data": {}, "meta": { "count": 20, "next_cursor": "..." }, "request_id": "a18e4ef88ad4b00b" }

meta appears on paginated endpoints only. Keep request_id — support traces calls with it.

FAQ

How do I get interest over time for a keyword?

get_explore.js with the query, 6 credits per call.

How do I find rising related searches?

get_rising.js with a seed query, 3 credits per result returned.

Does this give me search volume numbers?

No. Google Trends publishes relative interest on a 0–100 index, not absolute volume. Anything presenting it as volume is inferring, not reporting.

Is this an official Google API?

No. ScraperSocial is independent and not affiliated with Google.
