Which stores does LabelGrid show streaming analytics for?

Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Audiomack, Boomplay and AWA report daily, and the three Tencent services, Kugou, Kuwo and QQ Music, report weekly. Those are the stores whose analytics feeds LabelGrid ingests. Distribution reaches more stores than that, and activity on the rest still appears in your royalty statements, because statements and analytics run on separate pipelines.

Why does one store show a metric while another says it is not available?

Because stores report different things. Spotify reports skips and shares, plus stream sources; Apple Music reports Shazams, library adds and editorial playlist adds; Deezer and Spotify report listener demographics; Boomplay reports streams and streams by country; AWA reports streams. When a store does not report a metric, LabelGrid labels it as not available for that platform rather than drawing a zero. Demographic and geographic breakdowns are also k-anonymised, so a small catalog can show healthy streams and an empty demographics or city chart. Cells below the minimum-audience floor are dropped outright, with no other bucket and no total that would let the suppressed figure be inferred.

Why do Kugou, Kuwo and QQ Music show only one data point per week?

Those three report on a weekly cadence. Each week produces one data point per track, dated on the day the report covers and carrying that whole week for that track. LabelGrid never splits a weekly total into invented daily values, so on a daily chart you see one populated date a week with gaps between. The gaps are correct rather than missing, range totals still add up, and both the dashboard and the API response state the cadence.

Why did last week numbers go up after I looked at them?

Stores report on a lag, and a feed can deliver part of a day before it finishes. Every metric carries its own reported-through date, meaning the latest date it has data for, and a complete-through date, meaning the latest date that can be treated as final. Dates in between are still filling and are marked as partial, so expect the trailing edge of a chart to rise on a later view. A chart that trails off at its reported-through date means the store has not reported later dates yet, not that streams stopped.

Can I pull analytics through the API or an AI assistant?

Yes for streaming. The public API exposes a composite summary endpoint covering 37 section keys, 15 standalone series endpoints, and two more for leaderboards and placements. A separate availability endpoint returns the whole section-by-platform matrix and the cadence map in one call. Summary and series accept ranges up to 400 days; leaderboards and placements stop at 180. The open-source MCP server wraps the same API, so an assistant like Claude or Cursor reads exactly what the API exposes. Social and UGC numbers are dashboard-only and are deliberately not on the public API.
