README (SKILL.md)

Google Trends

Use this skill to get Google Trends daily trending searches quickly, without browser scraping.

Quick start

python scripts/google_trends_rss.py list-geos
python scripts/google_trends_rss.py daily --geo HK --limit 20 --sort traffic --format table
python scripts/google_trends_rss.py daily --geo US --sort traffic --format json --out /tmp/us-trends.json
python scripts/google_trends_rss.py daily --geo JP --sort traffic --out /tmp/jp-trends.csv

Workflow

  1. Pick geo code (HK, US, JP, etc.).
  2. Fetch daily trends with daily --geo \x3CCODE>.
  3. Choose output format:
    • table for terminal quick check
    • json for downstream automation
    • markdown for chat/report paste
  4. If needed, save with --out:
    • .json for structured pipelines
    • .csv for Sheets import

Commands

1) List common geo codes

python scripts/google_trends_rss.py list-geos

2) Fetch daily trends

python scripts/google_trends_rss.py daily --geo HK --limit 20 --sort traffic --format table

Options:

  • --geo (required): region code
  • --limit (default 20): max trend rows
  • --format (table|json|markdown, default table)
  • --sort (traffic|feed|recency, default traffic)
    • traffic: hottest-first by approx_traffic
    • feed: keep RSS original order
    • recency: newest-first by pubDate
  • --out: optional file path (.json or .csv)
  • --timeout (default 20)

Output schema

Each trend includes:

  • title
  • approx_traffic
  • link
  • pub_date
  • picture
  • up to 2 related news items (title/snippet/url/source)

Notes

  • This skill targets daily trending searches feed (not full historical keyword timeseries).
  • Feed source: Google Trends RSS endpoint by geo.
  • Keep parsing defensive; feed fields can evolve.
  • For implementation details aligned to the existing connector repo, read:
    • references/google-trends-connector-notes.md

Resources

  • Script: scripts/google_trends_rss.py
  • Reference: references/google-trends-connector-notes.md
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: fetch public Google Trends RSS and format results. Before running: (1) review the included script locally (it's small and readable), (2) be aware it will make outbound HTTPS requests to trends.google.com, and (3) if you use --out, ensure you provide a safe path (it will overwrite that file). If you need offline or audited use, run the script in a controlled environment. If you expect historical timeseries or authenticated Google APIs, note this skill only provides the public daily RSS feed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: google-trends-rss Version: 1.0.2 The skill is a legitimate utility for fetching Google Trends data via public RSS feeds. The core script (scripts/google_trends_rss.py) uses standard Python libraries, implements proper URL encoding for parameters, and restricts network activity to official Google Trends endpoints. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection in the documentation (SKILL.md).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Google Trends RSS) aligns with the provided script and notes: the code fetches trends.google.com RSS endpoints and parses trend fields. Required capabilities are minimal and appropriate for the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only to run the included Python script with explicit flags. The runtime instructions and script only perform network fetches to Google Trends, parse XML, print or write output to a user-specified path; they do not read unrelated files, environment variables, or send data to unknown endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the skill is instruction-only with a single Python script and no external dependencies. This has low install risk — nothing is downloaded or written except when the user chooses an --out file.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. It only needs outbound network access to trends.google.com (public RSS). No secrets or unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not attempt to modify agent/system configuration or other skills. It runs only when invoked and only writes to an explicit output path if provided.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install google-trends-rss
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /google-trends-rss
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
