New: free GAtrends Spike Check on Apify, check any keyword in 10 seconds
Quick update after launch day. Thank you all for the support and feedback!
Several of you asked how GAtrends decides that something is “spiking”, so we put the core idea into a free tool on Apify: GAtrends Spike Check.
You enter keywords, and it compares the last 24 hours with the usual daily level in Google News, Hacker News and Wikipedia. It tells you if each keyword is normal, rising or spiking. No API keys, no card, one run takes about 10 seconds.
Try the ready example (GTA 6, OpenAI, Steam Deck), or edit the keywords to your own:

It is a one-time check. If you want it watched around the clock across 7 sources with alerts in Telegram, Claude or ChatGPT, that is what GAtrends does (the Free plan has 3 keywords, no card): https://gatrends.com
What other sources or features
would be useful to you? We are collecting ideas for the next update.

Show the raw counts next to the spike label. A jump from 1 mention to 5 calls for a different reaction than a jump from 100 to 500, even though both are 5×.
@al_kub Hello Alexander, thank you for the interesting observation,We're taking this into work.
Cool. Do you plan to expand the Actor coverage to Steam data? With GTA release coming up, there could be demand for it.
@fabian_maume Thanks Fabian, great suggestion! Steam is already one of the 7 sources in the full GAtrends (it watches player counts for game keywords), and bringing it into the Apify Actor is in our implementation queue. With big game releases coming up, it makes a lot of sense.
What other sources or features would you find useful in the Actor?
@bondarchuk_bohdan Try to run this skill https://github.com/apify/awesome-skills/tree/main/skills/apify-actor-idea-validator
It will give you a report about potential add-ons.
@fabian_maume okay Fabian, thank we will check this today!
