Example

Using realtime search trends of a user located in Turkey, who speaks Kurdish and is interested in hot stories

Find Turkey country code (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 code):

• country = "TR"
  

Find Turkey country-language code (ISO-639 and ISO-3166):

• english "en-TR",
  
• kurdish "ku-TR",
  
• turkish "tr-TR".
  

Set the category ("h", because the user in the example is interested in hot stories):

• category = "h"

Starting in none-headless mode:

• headless=False

from fake_traffic import FakeTraffic

ft = FakeTraffic(country="TR", language="ku-TR", category="h", headless=False)
ft.crawl()

P.S. you can select language from other country. For example, such combinations are also correct:

FakeTraffic(country="TR", language="ar-TR").crawl()
FakeTraffic(country="US", language="he-IL").crawl()
FakeTraffic(country="DE", language="hi-IN").crawl()
