How much historical data is synced when you first connect Google Play to Databox?

When you connect a new Google Play Data Source in Databox, 2 months worth of historical data is initially synced.

Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available. For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team at help@www.yu-nung.com.

Pro Tip: Once your Google Play Data Source is connected and actively syncing data, we store the data that's collected in our own database. This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical Google Play data in your Databox reports. Learn morehere.

What time zone does Google Play data sync in?

Google Play data is synced in the time zone set in UTC.

How often does Google Play data sync?

Google Play data will only sync once per day. Additionally, the most recent data will be from 2 days ago. As a result, "Today" and "Yesterday" are not Date Range options for Google Play Metrics.

This is consistent with how Google Play data updates within the Google Play app.
