Quick Start

RSS Feed (Fast - 0.2s)

from trendspyg import download_google_trends_rss

# Get current trends with news articles
trends = download_google_trends_rss(geo='US')

for trend in trends[:3]:
    print(f"{trend['trend']} - {trend['traffic']}")
    if trend['news_articles']:
        print(f"  {trend['news_articles'][0]['headline']}")

CSV Export (Comprehensive - 10s)

from trendspyg import download_google_trends_csv

# Get 480+ trends with filtering (requires Chrome)
df = download_google_trends_csv(
    geo='US',
    hours=168,            # Past 7 days
    category='sports',
    output_format='dataframe'
)

Async (Parallel Fetching)

import asyncio
from trendspyg import download_google_trends_rss_batch_async

async def main():
    results = await download_google_trends_rss_batch_async(
        ['US', 'GB', 'CA', 'DE', 'JP'],
        max_concurrent=5
    )
    for country, trends in results.items():
        print(f"{country}: {len(trends)} trends")

asyncio.run(main())

CLI

trendspyg rss --geo US
trendspyg csv --geo US-CA --category sports --hours 168
trendspyg list --type countries
