Scraping Google Trends, And Incomplete Datasets. Help, Please?

Hey all,

I’m trying to scrape Google trends data using Python and proxy API.

But it’s not always returning the data. I have to try 10-15 times sometimes and I don’t get anything at all sometimes.

Say I want to get trends for “holidays in Italy” for the last 5 years, It might bring me 3 years’ worth of data, and the rest of the years will be 0.

But, if you check the data in Trends, it’s not 0 for the last 2 years.

So it’s partial. I’m wondering what’s going on here. Is Google detecting my scraper, or is there a solution to this? It’s driving me nuts.

​

I’ve tried a bunch of APIs. DataforSEO, Keywords everywhere etc and they all suffer from the exact same issue.

Thanks.
