[Resolved] Walmart.ca Data Outages 2024

Twice in 2024, there were crawling issues with Walmart.ca data collection. These two dates were: 2/9/2024 to 3/2/2024 6/28/2024 to 8/6/2024

Dataset Impacted: Walmart.ca

Data impacted: Ad Data

Impacted Timeframe: Feb 9 - Mar 2, 2024 &
                                      June 28 - August 6, 2024

Resolution: Our crawl has been restored to fully capture Walmart.ca Ads

How does this impact my data?

The Walmart.ca issue resulted in a complete crawl outage for this retailer. This means that keyword counts, sponsorship activity, and market share data will be negatively impacted and show little to no keyword counts, sponsorship activity, and less accurate market share in the impacted period. 

Recommended Workaround:

We recommend using a date range outside of the impacted timeframe when possible or use a larger time window so the impact for those days is minimal
