The contract defines 19 schemas that model the data the API accepts and returns. The most detailed are Article (18 properties), Thread (16 properties), Newsletter (16 properties), SocialLinks (8 properties). Each schema is shown below with its type and property counts.

The creator's other homes on the internet, stored as canonical profile URLs. Every key is optional and a newsletter that set none returns an empty object.
8 properties
ArticleStats

Engagement counts for an article, computed at read time. These are Commune side counts, not provider side email metrics: opens, clicks and deliveries are not h…

How wide each bucket is. A week starts on Monday and a month on the first, both in UTC, so buckets line up across two newsletters in different time zones.
User

TimeseriesMetric
string
Which quantity a series buckets. Each value is a count of things that happened inside a bucket, never a running total, so a client that wants a cumulative line…
ArticlePerformance
object
One article measured on both sides at once: what the email did, and what the community did with it afterwards. Not to be confused with ArticleStats, the small…
4 properties4 required
Timeseries
object
One metric bucketed over a window. The shape a chart consumes, and the only operation in this domain that is not a snapshot.
