Legit topic. Can you share some of the results or outcomes I can find out?

seems really cool doc, thanks for that. it's a different way to look historical data on google.

The knowledge graph API might be a better choice than Trends:

https://developers.google.com/knowledge-graph/reference/rest...

Example response for [Taylor Swift],

  {
    "@id": "kg:/m/0dl567",
    "name": "Taylor Swift",
    "@type": ["Thing", "Person"],
    // etc.
  }

That's the same "mid" as Trends uses.

It makes sense. I didn't about that API, thanks!

Interesting. Have you thought about any practical applications for something like this?

nurkhz 9y ago ↗

for instance you might get what you've been searcing for last decade.

from my side i've searched a lot of song - song lyrics :) it's a good to know understand what you searched. what do you interest in order to understand yourself it's a good point. end of the day google is middle of our lives. isnt it?

Yeah totally, I think that's an interesting thing to know. I guess my underlying question was: how might this be turned into a product?

nurkhz 9y ago ↗

actually it's just a interesting point about our product. what we tried to say and share is that actually rakam is great product to analyze everything and flexible.

do you have alternative suggestions?

nurkhz 9y ago ↗

Thank you for info. That seems good point and already shared with the guy who wrote article :)

I can't seem to get this to work, for I can't seem to create a project on this? Chrome Stable, not the most unusual browser in the world, I get:

It looks like once you entered an invalid project name, the form doesn't accept a valid name. I fixed the issue and updated the app, thanks for reporting the bug. Nice humor BTW! :)
