How long to wait before reading latest date?

[Samir Sabri]

Hello

As we are reading Criteria Performance Report, we need to know how long does it take for the latest day to be accessed by query API?

For example, if we read day 2020-12-30 at first minute of next day(2020-12-31), would that be Ok? Or shall we wait certain time before all data of the day got indexed? if we shall wait, how long? if not, please let us know.

Thank you,

Hi Samir,

Thank you for reaching out. In most cases, your account statistics (such as clicks, conversions and impressions) are delayed by less than three hours. However, some metrics and reports take longer to process or are only calculated once a day (rather than on a continuous basis). For more information on data freshness please refer to this help center article.

Thanks and regards,

Thanks, what about cost related data at criteria report, would it be ready with the impression data as well ( within 3 hours?)

Hi Samir,

Thank you for reaching out. The cost related metrics are the same as the impression such that they are usually delayed by less than three hours.
