Definition and practical meaning
Start with a specific question and a reproducible sample. Record the platform, account or keyword, collection time, and any filters so another run can be compared with the first.
Where this appears in an API workflow
Keep original source identifiers alongside normalized fields. Missing values are not zero, a search result is not an exhaustive census, and a cached response may predate your collection time. Preserve these distinctions when you aggregate results.
Implementation notes
Choose an endpoint in the API reference, check its required parameters, and test a small request. Store the request ID and cache metadata with each response. For analysis, define the denominator and time window before calculating rates or comparing accounts.
