Country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) |
| 2 | 20 |
Number of trending topics to show |
Output
For each trending topic: rank, search term, approximate search volume, publication time, up to 2 related news headlines with source, and a link to the Google Trends page.
Data source
- Feed:
https://trends.google.com/trending/rss?geo={GEO} - Update cadence: refreshed every few hours by Google
- No auth required: uses only public RSS endpoints and Python stdlib (
urllib,xml.etree)
Workflow for the AI agent
- Run
python3 scripts/fetch-google-trending.py [GEO] [COUNT] - Parse and present the results to the user
- If the user asks about a specific trending topic, you can search for more context using WebSearch
Guardrails
- Data comes directly from Google Trends RSS — do not fabricate traffic numbers or topics.
- The feed reflects Google's own editorial/algorithmic choices; surface that to the user if asked why a topic appears.
- If the fetch fails (network error, rate limit), report it clearly and suggest retrying.
Usage Guidance
Before installing, understand that this skill contacts Google Trends over the network to retrieve public trending-search data. It does not require an API key or access to your local files, though the publisher should ideally declare the trends.google.com network permission explicitly.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to show current Google trending searches, and the included Python script directly implements that by requesting and parsing the Google Trends RSS feed.
Instruction Scope
The workflow asks the agent to run the included script and optionally use web search for extra context if the user asks; that is purpose-aligned, but it does involve outbound network access.
Install Mechanism
Installation only requires Python 3 and uses the standard library; there are no pip packages, shell installers, or hidden setup steps.
Credentials
Network access to trends.google.com is necessary and disclosed, but the manifest does not explicitly declare a scoped network permission.
Persistence & Privilege
No evidence was found of persistence, privilege escalation, credential/session access, local file indexing, destructive actions, or background workers.
