摘要
搜索引擎数据是洞察信息搜索行为的主要来源,这些信息有助于对人类文化和行为进行科学研究。gtrendsAPI R 软件包旨在促进对谷歌趋势 API 数据的编程访问。在此,我将介绍该软件包的可用功能,并提供如何使用它的实例。我还将讨论该软件的一些潜在研究应用和注意事项,以及通过该软件获得的数据。
gtrendsAPI: An R wrapper for the Google Trends API
Search engine data is a prime source of insights on information-seeking behaviour and such information is instrumental for the scientific study of human culture and behaviour. The gtrendsAPI R software package aims to facilitate programmatic access to data available from the Google Trends API. Here, I introduce the functions available through this software package and provide worked examples of how to use it. I also discuss some the potential research applications and caveats of this software and the data available through it.
