Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checked community attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps Read the Trends API alpha documentation and submit the developer access application, since the API is not self-serve GA Once approved, query with search terms to get a consistently scaled index over a rolling ~1,800-day (5-year) window Compare more terms than the 8-term limit the Trends web UI allows, in a single programmatic workflow Cache responses locally, since alpha access is rate-limited and rolled out gradually across developers Monitor Google's Search Central blog for changes to alpha terms, since the program is still evolving Known gotchas Access is alpha and application-gated as of 2026 - approval is not immediate or guaranteed Because it's alpha, endpoints, quotas, and response formats can change without the stability guarantees of a GA API This is a distinct product from CrUX or Search Console data - it reflects search interest/volume, not your own site's performance
