Is there a way to obtain from the Google Map API, the number of visitors to a place by hour of the year? I saw that I could get information like reviews and price level for a place, but not the number of visitors per hour. Essentially, I want to get the detailed data behind the Popular Times graph shown in Google Maps

I have a list containing Amazon products (ASINS). I want to update the buybox price in my list like every 5 hours. I am an registered Amazon seller so I do have access to the Selling Partner API - Amazon-Services-API. But the issue here is the rate limit. It is only 0.5 requests per second.
I have like 500k products in my list, it would take like multiple days with a rate limit of 0.5 requests per second.
There are serveral tools like scanunlimited or analyzer.tools which are able to obtain the current buybox price of a product way faster. Where are they getting their live data from? Am I missing out on some API?
Does anyone have an idea, how I can gather the data more quickly then 0.5 requests per seconds?
Kind regards
I'm working on an Ad-tech system which serves millions of users.
Basically users (non anonymous users) can see different Ads that are being created by the marketing team.
Our marketing team want to be able to set some Frequency caps on those Ads (among other targeting rules they already have)
For example:
"We should not show this ad for a user if he already seen/click this ad more than X times in the last Y days"
Also ads can be grouped to campaigns, so rules like that are also possibile:
"We should not show this for a user if he viewed more than X times ads in this campaign in the last Y days".
Also our marketing might wanna know how many people viewed/click a specific add in the last Y days.
We have roughly 200K RPM and our responses should be very fast.
The smallest unit of time for our queries is one day and it will not change.
Few questions and thoughts:
Is DynamoDB a good fit?
I thought about creating a table for each event type (Click/View/Close..)
What is the best way to configure the primary key?
I thought about settings the primary key as the user id and the sort key as a combination of the ad id and the current day {dd/mm/yyyy}
I thought about use "ADD" operation to increase the counter when a user click/view/.. an Ad in a specific date. are they expensive operations? do I have an alternative?
What is the best way I can use to also be able to query per ad and campaigns as well (for example: "all users views for all ads in campaign" or "get all ad views in the last 40 days) ) ?
What other considerations should I take in mind?
Thanks a lot
I wonder how this website among others got followers_count history data so it shows gained and lost followers.
Followers Evolution #1
Followers Evolution #2
I searched in Instagram Graph Api documentation and I found that there is an "insights" api that can be used to get social interaction metrics for IG Users. But, among available metrics a metric called "followers_count" which is the "Total number of new followers each day within the specified range". so the api provides new followers count not the entire follower count over time. As I said in the beginning how is it possible to draw the followers evolution graph as many IG analytics websites do? am I messing something?
It is possible that those websites used the field 'followers_count' on the User node to get a starting point. This gives the total number of followers at the time of the request. From there you could calculate a running total by subtracting the daily follower count from the Insights api that you mention.
Get current follower count:
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/v8/<user id>?fields=followers_count&access_token=EAACwX..."
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/user
Get new followers for single day:
curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/v8/<user id>/insights?metric=follower_count&period=day&since=2020-10-5T07:00:01&until=2020-10-06T07:00:00

Google API metrics only shows 1 hour to 30 days metrics from today/now. It shows the total but when you narrow the graph it wont update total for that gap of time.
How do I see total amount of request for specific point in time.
Besides, it only provides requests per second, which is a constant variation form my app.
I have tried using "Traffic by API" graph on Google Cloud Platform and narrowing it to shorter time.
Expected the results at the bottom to update with a count of requests of the shorter period of time.
Screen cap of one day of metrics adding up 34,238 requests
Screen cap of graph narrowed from 18hs to 21hs but counts still on 34,238
Looking into it, it seems you can go into the desired API and then into metrics where you will find a drop down.
In that drop down you can choose "Traffic by API" and then filter the graph for the period you are interested. Then download/export that graph and process it on Excel.
In the output file you will find request per second, that you can multiply by 60000 and then create a pivot table to add up everything.
In Instagram, the reach metric is a de-duplicated data source. In other words, the sum of 7 days worth of data does not necessarily equal the value for that week. This is similar to the Facebook Marketing reach metric.
I'd like to support this scenario: given two dates, give me the reach between those two dates.
In the FB Marketing API this is easily achieved using the since and until parameters to define the date boundaries, and then using a time_increment of all_days to retrieve the reach summed up across all those days.
For example, using the FB Marketing API Docs here is a FB Marketing url that requests a week's worth of data summed up:
{adaccount_id}/insights?metric=reach&since=2018-02-05&until=2018-02-11&time_increment=all_days
In the Instagram Graph API I can define a since and until parameter to define the date boundaries, but there is no parameter like time_increment.
Using the Instagram Graph API Docs, here is a url that requests a week's worth of data split up by day:
{instagram_business_account_id}/insights?metric=reach&period=day&since=1517788800&until=1518307200
Is there any way to change that around to get the summed up reach between two dates? I had hoped for a period option of all_days similar to the FB Marketing API's time_increment parameter but that doesn't exist.
