Bitly organizes profile data into three main tiers depending on your account plan:

|------|--------------------|--------------------------|
| Rebrandly | click_metadata | No |
| TinyURL (Enterprise) | tracking_details | No |
| Short.io | geo, device | Partial (last 7 days) |
| ClickMeter | data_extra | Yes (capped) | Bitly organizes profile data into three main tiers
However, none use the exact profiledat field name—that remains unique to Bitly’s internal schema.
Forward profiledat payloads to your data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery) via Zapier or Bitly’s webhook. Then join with CRM data to see which device types produce the highest LTV customers. If you cannot access Bitly Enterprise, consider these
top_links = df.nlargest(5, 'clicks')[['hash', 'long_url', 'clicks']]
You share the same link on LinkedIn, Reddit, and WhatsApp. Profile data shows Reddit drives the most clicks but LinkedIn drives the longest average session duration (via integrated UTM). You reallocate budget accordingly.
