Trendzeist – Google Trends for content ideation tools (9)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
compare_keywordsCompare 2-5 keywords head-to-head: relative share, leader and trend direction for each. Use to pick the strongest angle among alternatives.
discover_topicsOne-shot topic discovery for blog ideation. For 1-5 seed keywords, pulls trend direction plus rising/top related queries, de-duplicates and ranks candidates as breakout > rising > evergreen. Partial failures are reported per seed in `errors` instead of failing the call.
interest_by_regionWhere a keyword is searched most. resolution: COUNTRY (worldwide), REGION (states/provinces within geo), CITY, DMA (US metro areas).
interest_over_timeSearch-interest time series (0-100) for 1-5 keywords, with per-keyword summary (mean, latest, peak, direction: rising/stable/falling). Long series are downsampled to ~60 points. gprop: '' (web), 'news', 'youtube', 'images', 'froogle'.
list_categoriesBrowse/search Google Trends category ids (e.g. 'coffee' -> Food & Drink > Coffee & Tea). Pass the id as `category` to other tools to narrow results.
related_queriesTop and rising search queries related to a keyword. 'rising' includes % growth and is_breakout (>5000%); best single source of fresh blog angles.
related_topicsTop and rising Knowledge-Graph topics related to a keyword. Google often returns nothing here; if available=false fall back to related_queries.
suggest_keywordsGoogle's entity suggestions for a keyword (title, type, mid). Use to disambiguate ambiguous terms or find the canonical topic id.
trending_nowReal-time trending searches (last ~24h) for a country or US state, with approximate traffic and linked news headlines. Good for newsjacking.
