Hey,
i am working on a paper where i want to use data downloaded from "Google
Insights for Search" in Stata.
It is possible to download a .csv File with the results when you log in
with your google account.
My question is if it is possible to automate login, search and data
entry and download of the .csv file in Stata?
Unfortunately at the moment there is no API for Google Insights for
Search yet.
I found some examples of a
- R package
http://www.stanford.edu/~knoepfle/cgi-bin/flatpress/?x=entry:entry101220-023915
and an
- C# example
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1656446/download-csv-from-google-insight-for-search
for solving my problem.
Do you think it is possible to program something like that in Stata or Mata?
Thank You and best Regards
Ulrich Brandt
