Is the data coming from Google Trends? If so, are you worried they're going to shut down your scraping at some point?

Our data relies on Google and it is based on what consumers are searching for. Specifically, it relies on Google Trends, Google News, Google searches, Amazon searches, Twitter searches and YouTube searches. We also have a partner for e-commerce data (usecart.com)

I'm not too worried. Everything that is publicly available and printed to a screen, I can take. So unless they completely shut down the service, I should be good =)

Thanks for the comment!

The project looks very good. It would be nice a feature to modify the time range, for instance on the Covid-19 trends, Zoom is -50% over the last 30 days. It would be interesting to know the change over 2 or 3 months.

Hello there,

Thanks! Yes, range modifier is coming, but also please take note that -50% is the change regarding the last 30 days compared to the previous 30 days.

This year the month over month growth in the US was 3.52% which is very good. And, the average interest was only 4.85% which tells me there's still a lot of margin for growth.

And how do you scrap Google data? They don't ban you or ask to enter "I am not robot" captcha?

No, as I mentioned, I'm a master scraper.

Hello, With Treendly, I am embracing transparency and openness by sharing our app and revenue metrics with everyone. So, you can find that info here: https://treendly.com/open So far, we have 1.5K trends in the db but not all are growing and rising. Keep in mind that we track a lot more keywords/topics in order to find a rising trend. Thanks for commenting!

How many keywords/topic ? BTW, seems broken https://treendly.com/trend/%D0%A4%D0%9D%D0%A0?geo=RU

Hello, sorry I missed this comment.

A lot of keywords/topics. We don't currently support languages with special characters. Please, search in English.

Hey Mike, this looks really interesting -- nice work! We're going to try it out to follow 'referral software' topics. Any tips/advice you can give us? I've already created a new Track for that keyword set.

Hey Kevin,

Sure, let me understand your needs a little bit more. What kind of software? Like a getrewardful.com ?

A suggestion! While logged in, when you want to track a trend, it isn't clear how I can track it after I search for it.

Instead of having a dropdown list menu for choosing frequency, it would be nice to spread them out. Like a normal list, or 4 types of buttons. Or you can also add a plus button which might bring a popup asking the frequency type too.

That's a fantastic feedback! I'm going to do that now. Thank you!

According to the " Interest over time by search volume " graph over the last 5 years, interest/what-your-measuring seems to have decreased. I'm my experience, but I'm probably in a bubble, more and more people are talking, interested in and using JavaScript, in the last 5 years, but again, probably biased as I'm a web developer. Is the graph adjusted to the number of people on the planet or some other metric? Or why…

JS got an upswing with Node.JS. But was then EEE:ed.

They entered the European Economic Area (Espacio Económico Europeo in Spanish)?
