Retrieve the Trending Now searches for a country or sub-region ("Trending searches" on trends.google.com). Every trend carries its search volume bucket, increase percentage, categories, related queries (trend breakdown), an explore link, and up to 5 embedded news articles. Each trend also exposes its news_id, which feeds the Trending News endpoint. The only_active, sort and category_id facets are applied over the same result set.
