      summary: Get Google Trends interest over time
      description: 'Returns Google Trends interest-over-time for up to 5 keywords in one call. Response is `{ series, averages }`: `series` is one entry per keyword, each with dated `points` ({ date, value }) where `value` is Google''s 0-100 relative-popularity score; `averages` is the per-keyword mean over the window. Compare terms head-to-head (values are normalised across the keyword set) and scope by `location`, `timeframe`, and `category`. A billed DataForSEO refresh typically takes 3-8s; exact repeats may use the 2-minute search cache and cost 0 credits.'
