Pytrends Data Inconsistencies #585

Closed paulwarb closed 1 year ago

paulwarb commented 1 year ago

I've noticed a few people have mention the data from the Pytrends package is inconsistent with Google Trends site. This can be found #577 and #550 and #534.

What percentage of Pytrends results are wrong? Are there any solutions known?

Issues look like this.

Yup, it's a known problem from Google Trends API.

What percentage of Pytrends results are wrong?

There's no way to know except what you did: compare the results with the web.

In our experience the more recent are the results, more holes are in it and more different from the "real" results tend to be.

Are there any solutions known?

Unfortunately no.
