# Get advertising leaderboard

> Returns the top podcast advertising sponsors ranked by the specified metric, with optional time range and company filtering. All-time rankings — and two day-anchored windows: the trailing 7 days (since = UTC today−7d, no until) and the 7-day window ending 30 days ago (since = today−37d, until = today−30d) — reflect periodically refreshed snapshots; other time-windowed and company-filtered results may be cached for up to one hour.
