Download long-term Google Trends

longtrends

A package to download long-term Google Trends.

Introduction

Google Trends, downloadable by API using pytrends, limits the time period which can be downloaded using a single request. Each request is scaled between 0 and 100, making comparison between different time periods difficult. This package automatically downloads overlapping trends and rescales them, providing trend data across a long-term period.

Installation

pip install longtrends

Requirements

Requires pytrends, installed automatically with pip.

Usage

from longtrends import rescale_overlaps, get_overlapping_trends
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

google = get_overlapping_trends(
                                keyword='google',
                                start_date=datetime(2021, 1, 1),
                                end_date=datetime(2021, 1, 31),
                                days_delta=30)

google_rescaled = rescale_overlaps(google)
google_rescaled.plot()
