Estimates the trend of Google search queries

Description

est_trend downloads for a sample of 250 random Google Trends categories the relative search volume. Based on this, a common trend is calculated and saved in an internal dataframe the user cannot access but the packages' functions do. However, the user can use this function to calculate the trend for himself. The internal dataframe used in other functions is updated on a monthly basis (on the seventh day of each month) on GitHub.

Usage

est_trend()

Value

Returns a tibble with a time series, which consists of a polynomial trend of degree five of a category.

Warning

This function takes a few minutes to work and generates a lot of traffic at Google. An IP ban is therefore quite likely.
