Frequently asked questions

Is this scraping?+

No. Data is collected through the YouTube Data API, the YouTube Analytics API and the Instagram Graph API, following the terms of service of each platform.

Can you get metrics for accounts I do not own?+

Public metrics such as views, likes, comments and subscriber counts are available for any public YouTube channel. Instagram exposes limited public data for business and creator accounts. Private insights require the account owner to authorize access.

How much history can I get?+

Current totals are available right away. Growth over time is built by taking scheduled snapshots, so history starts from the day collection begins; your own YouTube Analytics data includes full history.

What happened to ViewLoop?+

ViewLoop, the view exchange that used to run on this domain, has been retired. XPS Commerce now focuses on YouTube and Instagram data and analytics through official APIs.
