Google Trends Scraper
What it adds to the Windfield map: Local search-interest trends โ demand signal for a use/brand.
Scrape data from Google Trends by search terms or URLs. Specify locations, define time ranges, select categories to get interest by subregion and over time, related queries and topics, and more. Export scraped data, run the scraper via API, schedule and monitor runs, or integrate with other tools.
How it fits Maps IO
This actor is part of the Demand enrichment layer. Runs are scoped to a targeted property (address or coordinates), and results attach to that property โ plotted as map POIs or shown on the property card, alongside the existing Google Maps / Solar / Air-Quality / demographics layers.
- Trigger it per property from the Maps IO console (the same pattern as the nearby-business scrape).
- Scope by
location, address or lat/lng so results stay within the trade area. - Persisted to the enriched Postgres and merged into
/api/console/maps/data for the map.
