# Google Trends — current trending searches

`GET /v1/google/trends/trending-now`

Current trending searches with the full Google Trends UI filters.

``geo`` honored by the upstream feed. ``category`` is passed through
as ``cat=<letter>``; when the feed ignores it we still return the
base result set so callers get *something* useful. ``status`` and
``sort`` are applied client-side against the parsed result list.

## Query parameters

- `geo` string — Country code (e.g. ``US``, ``LT``, ``GB``).
- `hours` integer — Look-back window in hours. Google's UI supports 4, 24, 48, 168. Passed through to the upstream feed; the public RSS currently ignores this filter.
- `category` string — Category filter. Accepts Google's letter codes (``b`` business, ``e`` entertainment, ``m`` health, ``t`` sci/tech, ``s`` sports, ``h`` top stories) or the friendly aliases (``business``, ``entertainment``, ``health``, ``sci_tech``/``technology``, ``sports``, ``top_stories``). ``all`` (default) returns every category.
- `status` 'all' | 'active' — Trend state. ``active`` keeps only entries with a non-zero search volume (still surging); ``all`` (default) returns every entry including ended ones.
- `sort` 'relevance' | 'search_volume' | 'title' | 'recency' — Sort order. ``relevance`` (default) keeps Google's ordering; ``search_volume`` orders by parsed traffic descending; ``title`` sorts alphabetically; ``recency`` falls back to relevance when the feed omits publication timestamps.
- `hl` string — Language code.
