const axios = require('axios');

const apiClient = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://google-trends21.p.rapidapi.com',
  headers: {
    'x-rapidapi-host': 'google-trends21.p.rapidapi.com',
    'x-rapidapi-key': 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY' // Replace with your actual key
  }
});

1. Get Trending Now

Fetch the top trending topics and search stories currently gaining traction in a specific country.

const axios = require('axios');

const getTrendingNow = async () => {
  const options = {
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'https://google-trends21.p.rapidapi.com/getTrendingNow',
    params: {

      'x-rapidapi-key': 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY'
    }
  };

  try {
    const response = await axios.request(options);
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
};

2. Get Explore Top/Rising Searched Queries

    console.log(response.data);

💡 Best Practices

1. Caching: Implement a caching layer (like Redis) for getTrendingNow results to reduce API costs and improve performance.
2. Rate Limiting: Monitor your RapidAPI dashboard to stay within your plan's limits.
3. Error Handling: Always wrap your calls in try...catch blocks to handle network timeouts or invalid parameters gracefully.
