I was looking at the definition of visits in the Advan FAQ, which states that a single device can only contribute to visits once per day. How does that work ith the visits by each hour field?

I'm reaching out regarding an issue I’ve encountered while trying to download the Samba TV dataset using the API and product keys. Specifically, I'm unable to access any of the STB datasets, and the ARC data download is also failing.

I am running consistently into an error whenever I try to pull a customized Advan file in R using the datadeweyr package. The code I am using is:

Hi,

I see a large number of POIs that had an enormous and usually permanent drop in visits/visitors starting in June 2023. This drop is especially prominent in NYC. I can't find any explanation for this.

Hello, I am working with Advan data and looking for specific data for a POI. However, it is missing and I cannot triangulate it with lat/long data either.

Can you provide some insight into the country of origin of customers in the Safegraph Spend panel? Do all customers originate from the U.S.? I see that there is a "customer_home_city" variable, but do the values in this variable include other countries as well (e.g., Montreal, Canada)?

Hello,

I am currently working with the SafeGraph dataset and noticed that it provides the most recent state of Points of Interest (POIs). However, I am particularly interested in accessing historical POI records to analyze changes over time.
I also saw the "open date" field in the data structure, but it appears to be available for only a limited number of records. I was wondering if there is a more comprehensive historical dataset available that includes past POI records or any way to track changes over time.
Could you please let me know if such data is available and how I might be able to access it?

I'd like some clarification around discrepancies in placekeys between Advan and Safegraph.
