Hi Duncan,
Thank you for reaching out! And sorry for the late reply.
We don't have a periodic scheduled process that corrects or backfills the
Analytics Query Service API.
However, sometimes there are unexpected issues either in the underlying
data or in the systems that compute the API data.
When this happens, we do indeed correct the data as soon as possible.
Sometimes we manage to correct it before it reaches the API; otherwise, as
you imagined, we have to reload the corrected data to the API after the
fact.
Cheers!

Hello,
After experiencing some strange behavior re-fetching pageview data, I am
wondering if it is possible that the daily pageview count for an article
could change *after* the data is originally published to the API.
For example, if I fetch the daily pageviews on an article for the date
14-08-23, and then re-fetch the daily pageviews for the same article in the
future, is it expected that the value for 14-08-23 could be different?
Is there a backfill or correction process that can update daily pageview
counts for days that are already available via the API?
Any information is appreciated!
Thanks,
Duncan
