It's been a while since I've posted here, and I've been reminded today of my extensive prior addiction to this game.

Google allows you to export your search history in your account into an archive. With this archive, I was able to create a script that generates a text document with every single search term since 2013.

To visualize all of the data, I decided to take all of the text in the document and create a word cloud from it. Below is a picture of my findings, with the most frequent term as the biggest word.

 

Not gonna happen!
Cool, nonetheless.  

How?

How?

First, download your Google data here: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout. Make sure you only select the option for Searches so the search doesn't take forever.

Then, download and extract the zip file that is sent to your email. There will be a folder called Searches with a bunch of json files in it.

Download the following python code, and call the file list.py. Put it in the same directory as the json files.

PHP Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

import json, os

files = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if os.path.isfile(f)]
for f in files:
    if "py" in f:
        continue
    json_data=open(f)
    data = json.load(json_data)
    json_data.close()
    for i in range(0, len (data['event'])):
        print data['event'][i]['query']['query_text'].encode('ascii', 'ignore') 


Use the following command to run the python code. This works on Linux and Mac, but I think it'll be different for Windows.

PHP Code:

python list.py > ../out.txt 


Copy and paste the contents of that text file into wordle.net.  

i want to expose my internet history too

But my history is cleared

I'd assume its full of out of date memes that aren't funny  

Hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha  

Is there some sort of application that will convert it into a word document for you? I actually think this is pretty neat and definitely a good laugh, but my programming skills are lacking!!
