I don’t dare to share it in <#C05JKJDSE76|> so here it goes:

I wrote a Chrome extension to access more than just the last 24 hours of hourly GSC data. I guess during the March 2025 Core Update it might be particular useful.

The extension sounds interesting. I also shared it on SEOFOMO News:

If you are really asking where I did find out: I am always checking what’s happening in the network console and in the code of websites. So this is from the GSC website.

But I’m guessing you are asking how I learned using it. That’s reverse engineering (trial & error ????) There is no documentation (I know of or have access to).

you know the play store has something like it as well

Accessing Android app top charts by reverse-engineering an internal batchexecute Play Store API · Benjamin Altpeter

For my mobile privacy research, I need to know which Android apps are the most popular. I reverse-engineered an undocumented `batchexecute` API endpoint that the Play Store website uses internally to programmatically access the top charts. Based on that, I created the `parse-play` NPM package.
