Unofficial Google Trends API

I was inspired by Sal Uryasev, who wrote the first unofficial Google Trends API and made it public. That's my fork of his repo: https://github.com/mac-r/unofficial-google-trends-api. The problem is that his code doesn't work anymore. I didn't like the idea of creating a new session as well.

My script allows to get daily data per specified month without any authorization.

Here how it works

Clone the repository within the following command,

$ git clone git@github.com:mac-r/trendo.git

Open the editor and specify your request.

###################################################
#  EDIT YOUR REQUEST HERE                         #
###################################################
# for phrases write like that: word = "my+phrase"
word = "New+Year" 
month = 1
year = 2013

Run the script in the terminal.

$ ruby trendo.rb

Use the result.csv according to your needs.

Troubleshooting

If you make too many requests - then you'll get banned by Googlers. So be careful.

Requirements

It works well with Ruby 1.9.3
