Who provides the Actor
Google Trends Scraper and API is provided by Dylan Powell trading as ImpactLayer, a sole trader based in Bridgend, UK (“we”, “us”). By running the Actor you agree to these terms.
ImpactLayer is an independent developer. The Actor isn’t made, endorsed or supported by Google. Google and Google Trends are trademarks of Google LLC.
What the Actor does
The Actor fetches publicly available Google Trends data for the search terms and settings you give it, and saves the results in your Apify account. The details are on the overview page and in the privacy policy.
Apify’s terms
The Actor runs on Apify’s platform. Your use of Apify, including your account, storage and proxies, is covered by Apify’s terms and conditions. If these terms and Apify’s conflict about the platform, Apify’s apply.
Pricing and billing
The Actor is priced per event through Apify. The provisional prices are US$0.01 per run start, US$0.002 per term result (one term, one location, one kind of data) and US$0.005 per trending-now list. Notes about terms with no data or that failed are free. The prices shown on the Actor’s Apify Store page are the ones that apply.
Apify bills you, not us, under Apify’s billing rules. You can set a maximum charge per run, and Apify won’t charge you above it. Questions about a charge or a refund go through Apify; see refunds.
Google’s data and your responsibilities
The data comes from Google. Google decides what it shows, and its values are relative (0–100), rounded and sampled, so they can differ slightly between runs.
You’re responsible for how you use the Actor and its results, including complying with Google’s terms of service and the laws that apply where you are. If you’re unsure whether your use is allowed, get your own advice.
Acceptable use
Please don’t:
- use the Actor for anything unlawful;
- use it to harass, profile or track individual people;
- try to get around the Actor’s limits, charges or security;
- copy, resell or reverse engineer the Actor itself, except where the law allows it. You can use and share the data you collect, subject to Google’s terms.
No guarantee of results
We work hard to make every run complete, with retries, fresh proxy sessions and saved progress. But Google controls whether it answers, can rate-limit or block requests, and can change its site at any time. So we can’t promise that every term will return data, that runs will finish within a set time, or that the Actor will always be available.
When a term can’t be fetched, the Actor tells you in a status row instead of failing silently, and you aren’t charged for it. The Actor is provided “as is”, to the extent the law allows.
Changes to the Actor
We may improve or change the Actor, for example when Google changes its site. We’ll record notable changes in the changelog on the Apify Store page. If Google permanently stops offering a kind of data, we may remove that option.
Our liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can’t be limited under UK law. If you’re a consumer, your legal rights are not affected.
As far as the law allows:
- we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profit, revenue or data, or for decisions made using Google Trends data;
- our total liability to you for anything to do with the Actor is limited to the amount you paid for it in the 12 months before the claim.
Support
Email [email protected] or open an issue on the Actor’s Issues tab in Apify. We aim to reply within 2 working days. More on the support page.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For changes that matter, we’ll give at least 30 days’ notice on this page before they take effect. If you don’t agree, you can stop using the Actor.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can hear any dispute. If you’re a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
