Why Can’t I Retrieve More Than Two Years of Demographic Data?

Question

Why can’t I access more than two years of historical data for demographic reports, such as monthly_ad_analytics_by_member_country, while older data is available for other reports?

Environment

Connector: LinkedIn Ad Analytics

Answer

The LinkedIn API applies a two-year retention limit to demographic data, which includes the monthly_ad_analytics_by_member_country report. As a result, the earliest available data is limited to two years before the current date. You won’t be able to retrieve older demographic data.

However, this limitation is specific to demographic reports. Other reports may not be subject to different retention policies. For more information, see the LinkedIn documentation on reporting retention periods.
