## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability google-trends-viral-radar-by-country-6b828f9c
```

Example prompt: What are the top trending Google searches in Germany right now, including approximate search volumes and the news stories behind each trend?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, zero-authentication access to today's country-level Google trending queries with supporting news context. It is ideal for viral topic discovery, content ideation, news monitoring, and market pulse checks for a single country at a time. Prefer it over broader search APIs when you specifically want Google Trends ranking data with associated news stories rather than general web search results. Note it does not support industry/category filtering or historical trend breakouts — for those use cases, the official Google Trends API or third-party Trends tools with richer filtering may be more appropriate.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty trends array
- Google Trends RSS feed temporarily unavailable causes a fetch failure
- Data freshness lag — trends reflect the most recently published RSS snapshot, which may be hours old
- Country has no current trending data available in Google's feed
- Network timeout from the upstream Google Trends RSS endpoint

## How this service works

Today's trending Google searches for one country (public Google Trends RSS): rank, query, approximate search volume (e.g. '200+'), and the news items behind each trend. Country only: Google's feed has no industry categories, and it lists daily trends, not a breakout history.

## Output

A JSON object containing the requested country code (geo), the source RSS URL, a checked timestamp, and an ordered array of trending queries. Each trend entry includes its rank (integer), query string, publication date, approximate search count (integer), approximate search label (e.g. '200+'), and a list of associated news items each with title, URL, and source publication name.
