Problem about Pytrends build_payload

[ziqingwang-kate]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I hope this email finds you well. This is Ziqing Wang, a research associate from Stanford GSB. We are recently using Pytrends to conduct a research project. I am writing to inquire some questions about pytrends.

From March 8th, we always got the error message "TooManyRequestsError code 429" when running the function “pytrends.build_payload”. Even people who use the pytrends for the first time with a new IP address get the same error.

I am so appreciated it if you can give me some suggestions about this. Or are there any alternative functions in pytrends that can scrape historical volume data of Google Trends with keywords?

Many thanks,
Ziqing

use : pytrend = TrendReq(retries=3), another way is to swtich your proxy constantly, but then you need to find some valid proxies

Having the same problem, seems like Google made some changes to prevent any sort of scraping.

Having the same problem too,
I don't now if it's new, but Google requests uniq token per request - even if you do a slightly change in your request - you need a new token that suit to that request.

@ziqingwang-kate #561 (comment) check this out, adding NID cookie worked for me.

Closed because this should be resolved in #570.
