Pytrends error: failed on_status, TrendReq.trending_searches() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

I would like to get the latest Google Trends with Pytrends. I have installed a completely new system with Python 3.10.1 and Pytrends. The code is quite simple:

#pip install pytrends
from pytrends.request import TrendReq
pytrends = TrendReq.trending_searches(pn='US')
print(pytrends.head(20))
However, I still get this error message:
TypeError: TrendReq.trending_searches() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'
I can't find any help with googeling. Do any of you have an idea what the problem is here?
I have found a solution for me. With the examples on the github page of Pytrends:
from pytrends.request import TrendReq
pytrend = TrendReq()
trending_searches_df = pytrend.trending_searches(pn = "united_states")
print(trending_searches_df.head())
I can't explain why so many tutorials on the Internet have the wrong code. But with this it works without problems.
