New API call to query monthly/weekly download counts for one or more shows that OP3 measures.
Renamed the redirect-logs API to hits, limited optional filters to url and hashedIpAddress (which are also limited to the last 90 days).
The renamed hits API supports a new desc param to return results in descending order, and in general should reflect live requests much faster than before.

Podcasters can unlock a new "Listen time" section in their stats pages, aggregated from anonymized streaming payments already supported by eight existing podcast apps.
Learn how to enable these stats on the new OP3 Listen Time Calculation page.

All OP3 stats pages are available at the conventional url: https://ci.op3.dev/show/<show-uuid-or-podcast-guid>
New API call to query downloads for a given show.
New API call to view basic show information such as title and episode metadata.
New API call to find recent episodes with transcripts.
New API call to find the top apps for a given show.

Made an early version of the show-level stats page available to podcasters running the OP3 prefix, primarily to verify the Downloads calculation.
Podcasters going through the Setup page will now see instructions on how to request access to their stats page.
The underlying OP3 Downloads API is not public yet, but will be part of an upcoming public release.

Saving more non-listener-identifying fields on each request, after arriving at a consensus in a project disussion.
Updated the Privacy Policy detailing the new fields captured: Country, Continent, Region, Timezone, Metro, ASN.

Published a new Setup page with instructions, examples, and an easy-to-use feed checker to sanity-check your OP3 setup.
Introduced proper API key management. Existing API users should switch over to these more stable credentials instead of hardcoding the shared preview tokens.
Introduced a way to pass optional arguments in the prefix url using comma-delimited name=value pairs. Can be used to pass your Podcast Guid as part of the redirect (see Examples).

The existing Query Redirect Logs url parameter now supports trailing wildcards. Can be used for simple "episode URL starts with" queries before proper show rollup logic is in place.
Added documention about the sort order of the Query Redirect Logs results.

New podcast episode prefix service: https://ci.op3.dev/e/ ready to use - safely and securely stores basic episode request attributes.
New API and associated API Documentation providing open access to low-level episode data, as a preview of what's to come.
Existing podcasters can contribute real data to this project by adding the prefix to the episode urls in their podcast RSS feed.
