Data that is processed by metrics in this TikTok widget is subject to a 24-48 hour delay. To learn more about data latencies, review the Reference table in TikTok’s API documentation at Accounts Insights data latency - Reference table for data latency.

API limitation: Video data in post level TikTok metrics will stop updating 365 days after the video was published.

Updated June 2026

For Facebook, the reach denominator now counts unique media viewers (was unique impressions). The engagement numerator is unchanged. Values may read higher than before. The two definitions are not directly comparable. This is expected and reflects Meta's change in how viewers are counted, not a calculation change in Emplifi. Historical data is backfilled from May 1, 2025.

For full context, see Facebook Metric Deprecation (June 2026).

If a TikTok post has no interactions for more than seven days, the reach metric will return zero (0) value. This is because TikTok's API ignores any previous reach data. You can retrieve the data by interacting with the post from any account that is not yours. Recovered data should be available within 48-72 hours.

This TikTok API limitation, however, makes it rather difficult to conduct time-over-time analyses unless you start the recovery process.
