Freshness And Update Cadence

How to understand data freshness and update cadence in growthepie.

growthepie exposes freshness in two main ways. Rich endpoints expose last_updated_utc, while flat daily exports expose the newest available date row.

Key Facts

  • master.json exposes last_updated_utc

  • Rich chain and metric detail endpoints expose last_updated_utc

  • App detail endpoints expose last_updated_utc

  • fundamentals.json is a rolling 90-day daily export

  • Hourly detail exists only for metrics marked hourly_available: true in master.json

Practical Guidance

  • Read last_updated_utc before caching a rich endpoint

  • Inspect the most recent date before assuming a flat export includes the current day

  • Do not assume every metric has hourly detail
