The fix for projects using Pytrends is to downgrade the dependency manually, i.e.
pip install urllib3<2
Thank you for this, it helped me with the same error. On Ubuntu add quotes: pip install 'urllib3<2'
Does this also solve the issues of the previous threads about the 500 and 429 errors for timeframes less than or equal to a week?
After upgrading the dependencies in my project, I've started facing the following exception:
Turns out the error started after urllib3 was upgraded from 1.26.12 to 2.0.4, as a result of upgrading Requests to anything >2.30.0.

.Investigation
From the urllib3 2.0.0 changelog, here's the cause of the issue:
A workaround would be to specify a maximum version for urllib3 in
requirements.txt
, such asurllib3<2
(this is also the approach recommended by the Requests library in the version below). Though, since it is not a direct dependency of pytrends, but of the Requests package, it might be more complicated.Support for urllib3 v2.0 was added in Requests v2.30.0 (changelog), so pinning its requirement as
requests<2.30
could work as well (though there's no reason for pinning it as further versions are still compatible with urllib 1.x, and pinning urllib3 is also the approach recommended by Requests in the linked page).In the long run, it might be easier/worth it to upgrade the module to be compatible with urllib 2.x. A full migration guide is available here, though the line mentioned in this issue could likely be the only necessary change.
