The R package GTT includes functions for additional Google Trends handling.
Currently the following functions are available:
- kgraph is a function which obtains Google Knowledge Graph entities. These entities can be used for performing a topic search in Google Trends. The difference between topic and keyword based search is described here. Note that it is advised to use your Google API key for large queries (see here how-to).
Planned extensions include
- Function which will combine Goolge Trends time series for covering long time periods at high frequency;
- Scaling function to normalise Google Trends series.
