  • Now able to query using Google categories ?gtrends (#89).

  • Returned data is now tidy (#110). The trend object now contains keyword, hits and location header (head(sport_trend$trend)).

  • Correct default fallback for querying for google.user and google.password in gconnect (#121)

  • Support for hourly and daily data (#67). For example, it is now possible to have hourly data for the last seven days with gtrends("nhl", geo = "CA", res = "7d"). Use ?gtrends for more information about the time resolution supported by the package.

  • Support for categorties (#46). Ex.: gtrends("NHL", geo = "US", cat = "0-20") will search only in the sport category.

  • Some countries (ex: Hong Kong) were missing from the list (#69).

  • Better support for queries using keywords in different languages (#50, #57). Ex.: gtrends("蘋果", geo = "TW")
