gtrendsR behind a corporate PROXY with NTLM authentication

[VictorYammouni]

Hello

I need to use gtrendsR behind a PROXY. I modified the source code and added an additional parameter to the gtrends function. This parameter allow to specify my own curl handle with spécific PROXY paramaters.

I don't know if it is the right method, but it works fine.
Do you have another method, or an advise ?

Thanks

Alternatively, you can add proxy on top your RStudio with .Renviron file so that any request going through your RStudio.

I'm having the same problem when running:

library(gtrendsR)
res <- gtrends(c("nhl", "nba"), geo = c("CA", "US"))
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url) :
schannel: failed to receive handshake, SSL/TLS connection failed

I tried to follow @amrrs tip, but it seems that curl does not support HTTPS PROXY
@VictorYammouni , how did you solve? Can you explain more?
