Files Delivery

Once enabled, files will be uploaded to your cloud bucket (AWS/GCS) or SFTP server (see Delivery Details for further details) once a month.

  • Files will be located under this path:
    /export/analytics/brand_dominance/monthly/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<region_resolution>
    <YYYY-MM-DD> - upload date, example: 2020-01-11
    <region_resolution> - Currently 3 regions are supported: nationwide, state, zipcode; Each delivery will include historical files for all 3 resolutions divided into these folders.

  • Delivery is done until the 11th of each month, each delivery includes full data-history going back to 2017.

  • A unique CSV file will be produced per month, e.g. the file for October 2020 with a State level resolution will be named: "brand_dominance_state_2020-10-01_2020-11-01.csv"

  • Each file is GZip compressed
