The google_trends_explore source is designed to retrieve Google Trends results.

Due to ongoing issues, the scraped data may not be 100% accurate compared to direct usage on Google Trends via web browsers. Please use it with caution and be aware of potential discrepancies.

Request samples

In this example, we make a request to get trends results for a search term adidas between the 1st of January, 2021 and the 2nd of February, 2022, and set the category to "Arts & Entertainment" (category id: 3).
