## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`.

Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

This example shows one response. Values and optional fields vary with the data available.

```json
{
  "country": "US",
  "execution": {
    "country_verified": true
  },
  "hours": 24,
  "trends": [
    {
      "active": true,
      "growth_percent": 50,
      "id": "mlb playoff picture|2026-09-19T03:40:00Z",
      "related_queries": [
        "mlb playoff picture",
        "mlb wildcard standings",
        "al wild card standings"
      ],
      "search_volume": 1000,
      "started_at": "2026-09-19T03:40:00Z",
      "title": "mlb playoff picture"
    },
    {
      "active": true,
      "growth_percent": 100,
      "id": "swimming|2026-09-19T03:30:00Z",

        "swimming"
      ],
      "search_volume": 200,
      "started_at": "2026-09-19T03:30:00Z",
      "title": "swimming"
    }
  ]
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `country` | `string` | US |
| `execution` | `object` | 1 fields |
| `execution.country_verified` | `boolean` | true |
| `hours` | `integer` | 24 |
| `trends` | `array` | 2 items |
| `trends` | `array` | 2 items |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
