Google Trends returns data with different granularity depending on the historical time interval queried: daily search volumes are returned for queries under 90 days and weekly search volumes for queries of length over 90 days. However it is possible to reconstruct daily data for long time intervals using a combination of daily and weekly data and the method described and validated by [4]: Daily data is retrieved in buckets of under 90 days, and weekly data is also retrieved for the complete time interval of interest. Then using the daily data, the percentage change of each day in a week from the first day of the week is calculated; these percentage changes are then applied to the weekly data to build a daily time series over a longer period.

Ultimately, this hack–coupled with the inability to deal with it–caused the DAO to end in 2016.
