How frequently do we import data?

As you know, at quintly we import and store the data from the social media platforms. Depending on the network and data source there can be different import times.

In this article, you will find out how frequently we import the data, the initial import, and the rolling update window.

Snapshot: This means we take a snapshot of the current state (e.g. current followers count) and store the data.

Please note, this article does not mention any limitations to the amount of data we can import. To find out more please read the metric hints in the Data source library.
