Hi Bailey
If you load the “countries” data as per the error message, and do "unique(countries$country_code)”, you get a list of all the country codes - and AC is not in it:

And as for making it efficient, you could use a loop (or a pipe) to iterate over the list of country names by 5 (as 5 is the maximum number of search terms you can include).

Good Morning All,
I have been having some issues trying to download data from the google trends index database. I am trying to download searches for “FIFA”, for all the available years and countries to measure the popularity of soccer in the past 12-14 years.
I ran the code below using the appropriate Google country codes but I have been unable to download the data.

If anyone happens to be familiar with using the gtrendsR package or has a more efficient way to access this data, please let me know.
