I don’t know about the first one, but I’d also love for them to support last year (and also last day!).
It seems like there are no endpoints in the API but I can only imagine it will not be hard to add them (maybe?).
=========
Edit: I lied. There’s of course the endpoints behind the charts. Ignore the poorly chosen key “daily”. With period=all you can see that this is the monthly data.
Thanks! In one of the podcasts, Steve talked about reading 1,000,000 words a year, and since then I’ve been frustrated that I couldn’t see YTD read words.
