Dfference between vote_count and vote_sum
Posted Jan 23, 2023
I run a report from Guide via the API and this report shows values for vote_count and vote_sum. I am not sure I understand the difference between the two? Vote_count seem to show the total number of all votes (negative and positive) cast over the lifetime of the article. But what does vote_sum represent? Total votes cast in the last year/quarter?

Hi Sabine! vote_sum is the aggregation of positive and negative votes to give the final vote total. So if two people downvote (-2) and five people upvote (+5), the vote_sum would be 3. We define that in our API docs here. Let us know if you have any questions!

Thank you Greg! That makes in clearer. And thanks for the link to the API docs.
