Error in interest_over_time(widget, comparison_item, tz) : Status code was not 200. Returned status code:401

Hi there,

I' m coming back with an issue that was mentioned before by Flyingduc in:
Error in interest_over_time(widget, comparison_item, tz) with multi-period queries #345

The problem has to to do multi-periods queries in the package "gtrendsR". Here is an example, where I try to obtain google trends data for the term "shoes" at daily frequency:

library(gtrendsR)
data<-gtrends("shoes", geo = c("US"), time = c("2004-01-01 2004-03-31","2004-04-01 2004-06-30",
"2004-07-01 2004-09-30","2004-10-01 2004-12-31","2005-01-01 2005-03-31"))

I get the error:

_Error in interest_over_time(widget, comparison_item, tz) :
Status code was not 200. Returned status code:401_

A single-period query still works as normal without any problem:
data<-gtrends("oil", geo = c("US"), time = "2004-01-01 2004-03-31")

Btw, I have installed the the last R version before running the package: R version 4.0.3 (2020-10-10)

I'm sorry if this is considered as cross-posting, but updating the package didn't solve the problem.
I also wonder if the period limits for download can be extended beyond 5 periods.

regards

Same as #360.
