How do I Request Retroactive (Lookback) Data with LocationIQ?

If you need historical location data, LocationIQ offers a solution. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can request retroactive (lookback) data.

What is Retroactive (Lookback) Data?

Retroactive, or lookback data, refers to historical location information that you can retrieve for analysis or reporting purposes. LocationIQ provides this data for up to 60 days in the past, and potentially even further if the location is already fenced.

Steps to Request Retroactive Data

  1. Determine Your Date Range:

    • Identify the specific date range for which you need the historical data. Keep in mind that LocationIQ can go back up to 60 days. If the location is already fenced, you may be able to request data from an earlier date.

  2. Prepare Your Request:

    • Write an email detailing your request. Be sure to include:
      • The date range you need.
      • Any specific locations or parameters relevant to your request.
      • Your contact information.

  3. Send Your Request:

Additional Information

  • Response Time: Our LocationIQ Team will review your request and respond with the available data or further instructions within 24 hours.
  • Data Availability: Data availability might vary depending on the specific locations and parameters you request. If the location is already fenced, you may access data beyond the 60-day limit.

By following these steps, you can efficiently request any retroactive data you need from LocationIQ. If you have any questions or require further assistance, feel free to reach out to the LocationIQ Team via email.
