## Description

Get Google Trends data for one or more terms; compare terms by passing them comma-separated in `q`, e.g. `HubSpot,Salesforce`. `dataType` decides the block returned: `TIMESERIES` gives `interest_over_time`, `GEO_MAP` gives `interest_by_region`, `RELATED_QUERIES` gives `related_queries`, `RELATED_TOPICS` gives `related_topics`. Values are relative popularity indices (0-100), not search volumes. [See the documentation](https://www.searchapi.io/docs/google-trends)

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "search_api",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "search_api-google-trends",
  arguments: {
    q: "Query",
    dataType: "Data Type",
  },
})
```

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "search_api-google-trends",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    search_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
