I want to know what people are searching for in a particular domain (the domain is enterprise software, if that matter). The goal is to discover new trends.

I tried the Hot Trends feature which is part of the Google Trends tools, but unfortunately:

  • It only gives trends for the last 24 hours.
  • No way to divide by domain, so all results are sports/politics and other topics more popular than the particular domain I am interested in.

Is there a trends viewing tool that fits my requirements?

Trends could be measured with another metric such as hashtags or word use, but I would prefer the number of searches metric.

Open data would be the best, but just free is OK too.

Example usage:

Me: What are the top trending searches in enterprise software in 2016?
The service: Nuxeo (3m searches), Salesforce (700k searches), etc

  • There are some unofficial APIs - does that help? e.g. github.com/GeneralMills/pytrends

  • @philshem: This tool covers only one function of Google Trends, which requires to know the search terms already. Unfortunately I don't know the search terms, my goal is to discover them, I edited my question to make it clearer.

You could try this open source library in node: https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-trends-api

It seems to have several Google trends functions available.

  • Nothing gives long-term search by domain, according to the documentation, or did I miss it? The nearest would be topRelated which does not seem to cover a domain. If I missed a better function please specify it thanks!
