What are the limitations?

• Source: Shazam's public chart export on shazam.com. The list of countries, cities and genres is built into the Actor (captured October 2026) because shazam.com does not serve that list to cloud servers; a city Shazam adds later appears after the list is updated.
• Shazam's chart export lists rank, artist and title only; there are no Shazam counts or track IDs in the source.
• Shazam charts cover a rolling 7-day window, so day-to-day movement is smoother than on daily streaming charts.
• change starts filling from the second chart date, because the first run has no baseline.
