Data statuses
Results identify how their underlying data was produced. Always read the source and update time before making a decision.
- Live: returned by the source during the current request.
- Observed: public source data stored with an observation time.
- Cached: a previous source response shown when live collection is limited.
- Estimated: a modeled score or range, not private Apple-reported performance.
- Exact: authorized first-party data only.
- Beta: provider-dependent coverage that may be incomplete.
Quality and freshness
Data pages evaluate empty payloads, snapshot age, future dates and source availability. Volatile pages can remain accessible while using noindex when their evidence is not fresh enough.
- Partial: usable result with explicit gaps.
- Stale: older than the template's freshness policy.
- Unavailable: source data cannot currently support the value.
- Future date: source date requires review and is not treated as fresh evidence.
Source hierarchy
Public Apple observations and authorized first-party data are not interchangeable. Each workflow identifies the source that supports its result.
- Apple/iTunes and public Store pages for metadata and search observations.
- Stored rankings for chart history and movement.
- Models for estimates and difficulty scores.
- Authorized account data for exact owned-app metrics.
- Provider-dependent public sources for Ads Intelligence Beta.
