Points of Interest Metadata
Used alongside the Chain/Venue Metrics , Premium Export, and Visits by Origins data feeds, the POI metadata provides additional static information, such as an address, category, store ID, etc for every entity that is included in your feed.
Data Retention and Usage
Placer's algorithms and data constantly improve. Therefore, Venue Info may change occasionally, and new venues may be added. We strongly suggest not using data provided in old exports with new ones to avoid data anomalies.
