Limitations

Taboola has a default limit of 500k tows of data that can be extracted. You can increase the limit manually by editing the URL in the Source Advanced Settings (go to Sources - Cling on the three dots next to the source - Edit - Advanced Settings-URL). The very last number of the URL defines the limit.
Due to performance limitations, the data can be 2 - 3 hours delayed.

Troubleshooting

Broken View / Error Message

If you cannot see a preview of your data, go back a few steps and check your setup. The most common causes are:

• Date range - we recommend a smaller date range. If you need to load historical data, check our guide.
• Invalid metrics, attributes or breakdowns, or their combination - you may not have any values for them.
