How It Works​

The Suggestions node connects to Google Trends API and retrieves keyword suggestions for a specific keyword. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the required inputs (Host Language, Timezone Offset, and Keyword)
  2. Creates a connection to Google Trends with the specified parameters
  3. Retrieves the keyword suggestions data from Google Trends
  4. Returns the data as the response

Requirements​

  • Valid internet connection
  • Access to Google Trends service
  • Properly configured proxy settings if required by network
  • A valid keyword for which to retrieve suggestions

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Host Language
  • Empty or invalid Timezone Offset
  • Empty or invalid Keyword
  • Invalid timeout format
  • Network connectivity issues
  • Google Trends service errors
  • Proxy configuration errors

Usage Notes​

  • The Host Language parameter determines the language used for accessing Google Trends
  • The Timeout parameter should be specified as "connect,read" in seconds (e.g., "2,5")
  • The Timezone Offset should be specified in minutes (e.g., 360 for US CST)
  • The Keyword is a required field and should be relevant to your analysis
  • The Proxies parameter is optional and should only be used if required by your network
  • The Retries and Backoff Factor parameters can help with reliability in unstable network conditions
  • The response contains keyword suggestions that can be used for SEO and content planning
