Weekly Patterns corresponds to the SafeGraph Weekly Patterns dataset. It represents the place traffic and demographic aggregations that answer questions like "how often people visit", "how long they stay", "where they came from", "where else they go", and more. Available for ~4.4MM POI.

📘
Specifying a Date
Note that the weekly_patterns data set includes historical data. Each query must specify a date (as show in the below examples).
Calculated weeks run from 12:00AM Monday morning to 12:00AM the following Monday morning using the time zone of the POI where the patterns are being calculated.
If the date specified is not the beginning of a week (i.e. a Monday), the Places API will return data for the week encompassing the date entered, meaning the date_range_start will be the Monday prior to the given date and the date_range_end will be the end of that week.

Sample Query containing all fields:

Field	Description
`normalized_visits_by_total_visits`	`raw_visit_counts` divided by the `total_visits` in the same state or province during the same time period. This measures changes in the relative popularity of POI over time.
`normalized_visits_by_state_scaling`	`raw_visit_counts` scaled using the mobile device sampling rate for the state in which the POI is located.
`normalized_visits_by_total_visitors`	`raw_visit_counts` divided by the `total_devices_seen` in the same state or province during the same time period. This measures changes in the visits per device in SafeGraph's panel to the POI over time.
`normalized_visits_by_region_naics_visits`	`raw_visit_counts` divided by the `sum(raw_visit_counts)` to the `naics_code` in the same state or province during the same time period. This measures changes in the category-specific popularity of the POI over time.
`normalized_visits_by_region_naics_visitors`	`raw_visit_counts` divided by the `sum(raw_visitor_counts)` to the `naics_code` in the same state or province during the same time period. This measures changes in the visits per devices that visited the same category in SafeGraph's panel to the POI over time.
