Data Availability in Influence

Depending on the tool you use in Influence — Discover, Influencers, or Campaigns — data on influencers, their social accounts, and posts will be indexed at different rates. Learn more about what data to expect from each tool in Influence.


Data availability in Discover

When searching for influencers in Discover, all data points are estimated and updated at different rates, as Discover searches unauthenticated social account data.

Estimated audience data in Discover is updated on a monthly basis.

The following data points are updated at specific frequencies:

  • Follower Count: Updated biweekly
  • Engagement Rate: Updated biweekly
  • Followers/Following Charts: Updated biweekly
  • Recent Posts: Updated weekly
  • Keywords Filter: Searches a pool of the account’s 100 most recent posts, updated quarterly
  • Brand Safety: Analyzes posts published by the influencer over the past six months.

Note:

Data in Discover reports will not update automatically. Make sure to manually refresh your Discover reports on a monthly basis to get the latest data.


Data availability in the Influencers CRM

Account and post data displayed in the Influencers CRM for connected Influencer accounts is updated on a daily basis.

Please see the API expectations by network below to know what to expect for influencer account data availability by network.

The amount of historical data available will depend on the specific social media platform and whether or not the influencer’s account has been authenticated with Influence. The sections below show the time frames of published posts and metrics that will be collected and updated in Influence, based on the specific network and influencer's account authentication status.

Instagram accounts

  • Authenticated accounts:

    • Posts: Last 180 days
    • Stories: Last 24 hours

    Note:

    Only Instagram feed posts, not Instagram stories, will appear in the Recent Posts section of an authenticated Instagram account. See our article on Campaign Post Tracking for more information on how you can track Instagram stories in Campaigns.

  • Non-authenticated accounts:
    • Posts: Last 30 days
    • Stories: Not available for non-authenticated accounts

Note:

Estimated data for non-authenticated Instagram in an influencer’s profile will update on a monthly basis rather than daily. If the estimated data for an influencer’s profile is over a month old since you last viewed the influencer’s profile, the data will update when you manually next view the influencer’s profile.

Facebook accounts

  • Authenticated accounts: Last 180 days
  • Non-authenticated accounts: Last 180 days

Note:

Facebook caps data collection to the latest 600 posts from the account.

 

YouTube accounts

  • Authenticated accounts: Last 180 days
  • Non-authenticated accounts: Last 180 days

Note:

Estimated data for non-authenticated YouTube accounts in an influencer’s profile will update on a monthly basis rather than daily. If the estimated data for an influencer’s profile is over a month old since you last viewed the influencer’s profile, the data will update when you manually next view the influencer’s profile.

TikTok accounts

  • Authenticated accounts: Last 180 days
  • Non-authenticated accounts: Last 30 days

Twitch accounts

  • Authenticated accounts: Last 30 days
  • Non-authenticated accounts: Last 30 days

Data availability in Campaigns

Influence supports campaigns that are up to one year long. Account and post data for influencers added to campaigns within the defined campaign date range will be updated on a daily basis. New campaign posts and post statistics will be updated once every 24 hours. You can manually use the Refresh button in the top-right corner of the campaign twice per day maximum to pull in the latest posts from your influencers. 

Note:

If you click to manually refresh a post but that post's statistics have already been updated by the API within the 24 hour time period, fresh statistics will not be available until the 24 hour timeframe has passed.

Post data for one year will be available in Campaigns as long as the influencer was added within the defined date range of the specific campaign. If you add a new influencer to your campaign after the defined campaign date range, post data will only be available for the Influencer account data availability periods outlined in the CRM data section above. If you set up a campaign retroactively (i.e. with a start date in the past), some posts from the beginning of the campaign may be unavailable depending on the network data limitations below.

Note:

For tracked Instagram stories in Campaigns, story data will only be available from the day the account was added to the campaign. No historical data is available for story tracking.

Post data for the campaign within the defined campaign date range will remain visible in Influence after the campaign has ended.
