Features:

  • Auto-pagination to return up to 1 million rows per query.

  • Ability to query more than 10 metrics at once.

  • Minimise the effect of sampling by splitting the date range of queries using the SplitDateRange function.

  • When sampling has occurred, the output data.frame includes the sample and total sizes as attributes.
