What data is available in Reports?
When you connect a profile, Sprout Social automatically retrieves historical data for that profile. The length of historical backfill and the time it takes to pull data into Sprout depends on the network you connect.
The following table provides a high-level view of what data is generally available.
Network - The connected profile, account or report type.
Report Data - The kinds of report data collected.
Backfill - The amount of time or the amount of data from which Sprout can pull historical data.
Update Schedule - The frequency of updates and the amount of data pulled into Sprout during each update.
Top-level comment: The "first-level" of comments under a post (i.e. a comment that is responding to the post, not another comment).
