How fresh your data is
What refreshes when — tracked creators, the Niches wall, and why a surging video is sampled more often than a settled one.
"Is this number current?" has a different answer for each surface. Here's the whole picture.
Your tracked creators
- New posts — picked up daily, so a creator's fresh uploads appear without you doing anything.
- Full catalogue re-check — once a day, every video we hold for you gets a new metrics snapshot.
- Recent videos — four times a day, every video posted in the last 7 days is re-snapshotted.
That last one is the important one. A video's first week is when it either takes off or doesn't, so we sample that window densely instead of once a day. It's what makes breakout detection catch a surge while it's still surging rather than reporting it a day late.
The Niches wall
Refreshed nightly, covering the last 7 days of TikTok plus viral YouTube Shorts (which can be older, because YouTube's search can't be limited to one week). Agents refresh on the cadence you chose for them.
What refreshing does not cost you
Re-checking metrics on videos you already hold is free and unlimited — it never touches your catalog cap or your monthly allowances. Your catalog cap counts distinct videos analyzed, not how often we look at them.
