Pay-per-result data APIs on the Apify Store. Use them from your code, from no-code tools, or from AI agents over MCP.
Each tool is a hosted API: send a list, get one clean row per item back as JSON, CSV or Excel. You pay only for results, failed lookups are free, and Apify’s free plan includes $5 of credit a month to try them.

pytrends, the unofficial Python library most people used for Google Trends, was archived in April 2025 and no longer gets fixes, and bulk jobs from one IP run into 429 Too Many Requests. The Google Trends Scraper above does the same job as a hosted API with proxies and retries built in. There’s a small pytrends-style Python client for it on GitHub: google-trends-api-python.
Every tool is available through Apify’s hosted MCP server. Add the URL to any MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and sign in with your Apify account; runs are billed per result, as on the Store.
