    <p>I found this URL that gives you a google trends json file:</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/trends/fetchComponent?cid=TIMESERIES_GRAPH_0&amp;export=3&amp;q=javascript&amp;geo=US" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/trends/fetchComponent?cid=TIMESERIES_GRAPH_0&amp;export=3&amp;q=javascript&amp;geo=US</a> &lt;- This trends link shows you the US search trends history for the word javascript.</p> <p>I am having trouble parsing it and turning it into an object that I can use. Now I am starting to doubt it's even possible since it's not really an API but instead a raw file. </p> <p>I had a friend help me build a quick test but doesn't its not working either. </p> <p><strong>End Result Goal:</strong></p> <p>I just want to be able to pull in all the data via json, have javascript parse it and print the data in the console</p> <p>Here is the code</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;script&gt; var url = 'http://www.google.com/trends/fetchComponent?cid=TIMESERIES_GRAPH_0&amp;export=3&amp;q=bread&amp;cat&amp;geo=US'; var jsonObject; var google = { visualization : { Query : { setResponse: function(json) { jsonObject = json; } } } }; console.log('Making ajax request ...'); $.ajax({ dataType: 'text', url: url }) // When it arrives, pull out the JSON using the function we setup on // line 16 .done(function(data) { console.log('Data has arrived! Executing it to get the JSON from it ...'); eval(data); console.log(jsonObject); }) // If the request fails, print out the reason why. .fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus) { console.log("The ajax request failed: " + textStatus ); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thank you!!!</p> <p>-Nico</p>

    1. COthe URL is a piece of javascript which you can run to get the values. You can either use it as is, or you can parse it and just grab the data. This should help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7805711/javascript-json-google-trends-api

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
