Java Google Trends API (unofficial)

j-google-trends-api is a Java based implementation of Unofficial Google Trends API.

Google does not provide any API for its Trends services, this an unofficial Java implementation. Features:

• Easily authenticates to Google's services
• Parses CSV file as downloaded from Trends
• Simply queries Trends by only configuring the request parameters
• Supports Proxy configuration

A ready to use binary client for Google Trends is available here! https://github.com/elibus/j-google-trends-client/tree/master/releases/org/freaknet/gtrends/client/j-google-trends-client
