Why it exists

Google Trends trend data, without the plumbing

pytrends dies on 429s and cookie churn. This endpoint does not scrape trends.google.com on the caller's IP. One Bearer key, one POST, a timestamped series or board.

Country boards take a country code on type Google Trends. The keyword series on this page is worldwide 0-100. Related queries and interest-by-region are not extra routes. Ask for the series, or ask for the country board.

google images and google news are separate source values. Mixing them with google search on one call is a second request, not a flag.
