daily_series: Generate a consistent daily time series

In johannes97s/ifwtrends: Evaluating Google Trends data for economic forecasts

Generate a consistent daily time series

Description

Since Google only provides data for a short time period of less than nine months, one needs to apply tricks to get a longer time series with daily data. daily_series estimates via the Chow-Lin method a consistent long daily time series based on monthly data.

Usage

daily_series(keyword = c("arbeitslos"), geo = "DE", from = "2006-01-01")

Arguments

keyword	A character vector consisting of the search query. As of now, you can only enter one single keyword. Categories are not possible.
geo	A geographical region to restrict the search query to.
from	Start date of the search query.

Value

Tibble with daily relative search volumes.

Warning

This function takes a long time and generates a lot of queries at Google. An IP ban is therefore quite likely.

Examples

## Not run: 
daily_series(keyword = "Ikea", geo = "NL", from = "2021-01-01")

## End(Not run)
