Pretty neat, I see the most granular time scale currently supported is a 3-month window -- are there any plans to increase granularity towards a (near) real-time system? I get your crawler might be rate-limited at that scale and you would likely have to rethink the entire system architecture, but I think real-time data would open up a whole new dimension of possibilities for detecting/predicting trends perhaps even before public awareness catches up. I'd imagine there would be parties interested in paying for that kind of capability if that's the direction you're planning on taking this idea

I'd love to go as granular as possible, at least 30 days. Real-time would be ideal, but as you note - Google Trends rate limiting soon becomes a hurdle especially when you potentially multiply by different geographies.
