It seems like, the package is broken any attempt to get data shows the error code 429

Error in interest_over_time(widget, comparison_item, tz) :
Status code was not 200. Returned status code:429

Have a look at the currently open issues -- your is almost surely a duplicate, and cannot be reproduced as you did not include sample data.

Thanks a lot for checking the issue. Here is the sessionInfo:

I have also tried this on AWS with no luck.
Example:
library('gtrendsR')
gtrends('Musk', time= "2009-01-01 2024-02-29", onlyInterest=TRUE)

Error in interest_over_time(widget, comparison_item, tz) :
Status code was not 200. Returned status code:429

429 code is indicator of the too many requests, while this is a fresh install with just few queries that none is working.

I can use the browser and pull the data, but unable to get it from the API:

Facing this issue now, but was fine a month ago. Running my code 20 times to get one result... Checked pyTrends issues and lots of info there -
GeneralMills/pytrends#614
GeneralMills/pytrends#618

Looks to be people trying to reverse engineer it too, with no known work arounds, so hopefully something will come out of it -
GeneralMills/pytrends#619

Could anyone learn from Domtrens and SerpApi to implement it in gtrendsr? The scrapping is still working there..
