Metric Considerations
- Due to technical limitations, the Date Range ''All Time'' will return a maximum 36 months of historical data.
Granularity Restrictions
-
Due to API limitations, hourly granularity is not supported. This may affect visualization options for Charts in Databox.
For example, if a Google Search Console Metric is used on a Line or Bar Chart with ''Yesterday'' Date Range selected, hourly data won't be displayed on the Chart.
However, the big number above the Chart will accurately reflect the Metric value for the selected Date Range.
Learn more about Granularityhere.
API Limitations
- Due to API limitation, the most recent 2-3 days worth of data is not available. If "Today" and "Yesterday" Date Ranges are selected or are included in a Date Range, this data will not be included.
