Search topics
search_topicsLook up the Google Trends topic ID for any named entity, returning a mid to use as a keyword in other tools. Call first when users mention a company, product, person, or concept to capture all related search activity.
Instructions
Look up the Google Trends topic id for a thing. Call this FIRST whenever the user names an entity — a company, product, person, technology, concept — then pass the returned mid as a keyword to the other tools.
A topic aggregates every spelling and translation of the same concept, so it measures far more search activity than the literal phrase: querying the topic for "artificial intelligence" scores 62 where the literal string scores 1. The type field disambiguates same-name entities (Nike the company vs the goddess). Skip this only when the user explicitly wants a literal phrase.
Cheapest tool here: it needs no cookie and works on IPs that rate-limit the others.
