1. Fork and clone
git clone https://github.com/pangolinfoapi/google-trends-tracker cd google-trends-tracker cp keywords.example.json keywords.json
2. Configure your keywords
Edit keywords.json. You can track multiple keywords per region/language:
[
{
"label": "yoga mat US",
"keywords": ["yoga mat", "hot yoga mat"],
"region": "US",
"language": "en-US",
"time_range": "today 3-m"
}
]
3. Add your Pangolinfo token
Get a token at pangolinfo.com and store it as the PANGOLIN_TOKEN repository secret. Trends are pulled via the Pangolinfo MCP keyword_trends tool.
4. Run it
export PANGOLIN_TOKEN=eyJ...your_jwt python3 google_trends_tracker.py run python3 google_trends_tracker.py report
The report shows each keyword's latest value, week-over-week change, a rising/falling label, and a sparkline.
5. Automate daily snapshots
The bundled GitHub Actions workflow captures a snapshot every day and commits it, building a free historical trend archive in your repo.
