Google Trends node

The Google Trends node brings real-time interest data into your flows. Just enter a few keywords, and you’ll get back a clean trendline showing how search interest changes over time.

Whether you're exploring market shifts, comparing products, or discovering seasonality, this node gives you data straight from Google’s search index — ready to visualize, analyze, or blend with other sources.

What can it do?​

  • Track interest in one or more keywords over time
  • Return results as a table: day, value, and keyword
  • Great for visualizations, comparisons, or detecting spikes
  • Easy to combine with your own datasets (sales, events, launches…)

How to use it​

  1. Add a Google Trends node to your flow
  2. Enter one or more keywords (e.g., “AI”, “machine learning”, “data science”)
  3. The node will query Google Trends and return a time series
  4. Connect it to a chart or dashboard to see the trends unfold

No API keys or setup required — it just works.

Use cases​

  • Benchmark against your internal metrics

Tips​

  • Use 2–5 keywords for readable comparisons
  • Keywords are case-insensitive but should be specific
  • Combine with date filters or annotations for richer stories
