Date attribution

The date is set to the create date, i.e. when the LinkedIn update/video was posted. This means that the data will be updated on every download.

Daily metrics

Calculates the daily performance by substracting yesterday's saved value from today's value, which is a delta calculation.
The Daily metrics report supports the following report types:

  • Per Update

  • Per Video

The Daily metrics report relies on capturing data day-by-day to calculate the delta. If a data download fails, for example, due to a disconnected token or API error, for a specific day, the daily value for that day cannot be calculated later. This will result in a permanent gap in your data.
