Ask HN: Anyone managed to get Google trends API?

Google trends should have some alpha API as announced https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2025/07/trends-apii do have many ideas on what i could do with that data but i never got access, wonder if anyone here did and how did you achieve that ?i also see some alternatives but they arent really good, its either bad data or only relative data as one can see on google trends page. (i would...

I did many projects with web scrapping, that is in the past without AI :)

always felt nice to gather data but rarely could i do something useful with them or some sort of a good product. So today i dont think data is the problem, rather usefulness, PMF and marketing

Re:Ideas to make money as solo dev on Saturday September 14, 2024 @07:24AM (#41539063)
hm you would need to use tools like google trends and some keyword research to find something people are already looking for naturally but isnt really there. That may work.

Re:How to crawl big websites with no sitemap? on Saturday July 06, 2024 @10:45AM (#40890743)
well i did basically an infinite stream of site consumption, i stored visited and to-be-visited urls but this can easily grow too much.
Re:Ask HN: What would you do with $1M? on Thursday May 30, 2024 @10:53AM (#40524492)
Guess i would invest most of it stock index investing would be enough. Then i would do some travelling. I may not give up on my job right away even tho in my country the 4% from the 1M would be enough.
Do have some nostalgia towards ICQ, think it was great at finding people based on interest and geo-location. Dont think there is anything like that now, but i also think it cant be copied.

sooo is there a price for the author ? ha!
Man i have a whole grave yard of projects that failed, most of the time the problem is i can build it but i cant sell it :D so not even sure if it could sell if i knew how.

On the other hand i did gain some fulfilment while building my projects, sometimes learned something and sometimes even earned some money in a different way

Yes often. But its not too bad, can still play games and enjoy my time
Re:Ask HN: What games could you spend a lifetime playing? on Friday December 01, 2023 @11:05AM (#38488272)
Starcraft 2, diablo 2 and dota 2

Re:Ask HN: Have you been affected by layoffs? on Tuesday September 26, 2023 @10:39AM (#37660090)
Yes i was laid off with 20 other people.

Got 6 weeks worth of salary, managed to find a job within a month or so, so it wasnt too bad, but i only got the same salary (i didnt ask for more since i needed a job :D, its different if one does not need a new job)

It didnt feel good but i shacked my feelings of and moved on pretty quickly.

Re:Is it prudent to use Scala for anything new? on Sunday June 11, 2023 @07:40PM (#36286884)
I love scala, much better than java, tho java does steal features from scala.

You can express yourself in much less code and safer.

I do use it profesionaly for past maybe 8 years, mostly backend services.

Anyway kotlin is probably also better than java.
