Analytics changed since a cursor
Cursor feed of the analytics snapshots that CHANGED, across every account you can read, in one paginated stream. Built for integrations that would otherwise call GET /v1/analytics once per connected account. Each page carries changes from many accounts at once, so your call count scales with how much actually changed rather than with how many accounts you have. Measured against a fleet of roughly 1,600 connected accounts: about 1,599 per-account analytics calls an hour became about 205 delta calls an hour, a 7.8x reduction.
Bootstrap once, then stay in sync. Load your baseline from GET /v1/analytics, which is the historical endpoint. This one is a rolling 7-day change log and cannot replay history. Then call this endpoint with NO cursor: it answers with an empty data array plus the feed's current position in nextCursor. Send that nextCursor back on the next call and you receive everything written since. nextCursor is present on every response, empty pages included, so you always have something to advance with.
Ordering. Entries come back oldest first, in the order the feed received them. That order is NOT syncedAt: syncedAt is stamped when an account's sync cycle started, and a slow cycle writes its rows after a faster cycle that started later, so syncedAt can go backwards between consecutive entries. Do not sort, filter or resume on it. The cursor is the only stable position, and it is opaque: pass it back verbatim, and do not parse, construct or compare cursors.
hasMore: false does not mean the feed ended. This stream has no end and nextCursor is never null. hasMore: true means more changes are already waiting, so call again straight away. hasMore: false means you are caught up: keep the cursor and poll again on your normal interval.
The newest changes settle before they are served. The feed deliberately holds back its last few seconds of writes, so that a row can never become visible behind a cursor you have already advanced past. A read issued the instant an analytics.synced webhook lands will therefore often return an empty page for that account. Do not read an empty page as "nothing changed": poll again with the SAME cursor you just used rather than advancing.
Repeats inside one instant. A sync cycle occasionally records the same post twice at the same feed position. When that happens the feed delivers one of those rows, not both. Measured over a day of production traffic, about 1.3% of rows fall in such a group and 99.4% of those groups are identical rows, so this is far more often deduplication than loss. Metrics are absolute values rather than increments, so a later entry for the same post supersedes an earlier one.
Retention is 7 days. Changes older than that leave the feed. A cursor older than 6 days is rejected with a 400 (a day of margin, because expiry is lazy). Recover by re-bootstrapping from GET /v1/analytics and taking a fresh cursor from a call to this endpoint with no cursor. A consumer that polls at least daily never reaches this.
Pairs with the analytics.synced webhook, so changes can be read on notification instead of on a timer. That event carries no cursor of its own: keep using the nextCursor this endpoint gave you.
Requires the same analytics access as GET /v1/analytics, and shares the stricter per-second rate-limit window applied to analytics endpoints.
Query parameters
Opaque cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. Omit it to start from now: the response is then an empty page carrying the feed's current position. Rejected with a 400 when malformed, or when older than the retention window.
Page size. Out-of-range values are a 400, never a silent clamp.
Filter to a single platform (for example "youtube"). Omit for every platform.
Filter by profile ID (default "all"). Must be a valid profile ID or "all".
Response
One page of changed analytics
Example response
{
"data": [

}

"nextCursor": "v1.WyIyMDI2LTA5LTAxIDE3OjEyOjA0IiwiNjVmMWMwYTllMmI1YWYwMDEyYWIzNGNkIl0"
