Save data

JSON Key	Type	Default Value	Description
allowHTML	boolean	false	Allows the use of HTML tags in places like the username and footer. This can only be enabled by importing a private save with this set to true. Please use this responsibly.
api	object		The API settings. (v7.0.1+)
counters	array	[]	The list of counters.
lastSaved	number		The Unix timestamp in milliseconds of when the save was last saved.
paused	boolean	false	Whether or not everything is paused.
private	boolean	true	Whether or not this save is a private save. This must be true to enable allowHTML and to import data such as API keys.
project	string	livecountsedit	Always "livecountsedit" for Livecountsedit.
saveType	number		A number that indicates which counter the save was exported from. The v7 save format is currently only being used by the Livecountsedit counter, which uses 1, and the Livecounts.net counter, which uses 2.
title	string	save	The file name that is given to the save when exporting.
updateInterval	number	2	The time between on-screen counter updates in seconds. The minimum is 0.001 and the maximum is (2^31 - 1)/1000.
updater	number	0	The interval ID of the counter updater, or 0 if there is none.
version	number		The save version, as shown in the table at the top of this page.

API settings (v7.0.1+)

JSON Key	Type	Default Value	Description
apiInterval	number	60	The amount of time between API checks in seconds. The minimum is 1 and the maximum is (2^31 - 1)/1000.
leeway	number	10	The "overestimation leeway" in percent: If the abbreviated version of the current count is higher than what is given by the API, the count is dropped back down to (100 - leeway) percent of the way between the current API count and the next possible API count rounded down. For example, with count=124M or higher,api=123M,leeway=10 the counter drops to 123.9M. An exception is with leeway=0, which drops the counter to next possible API count - 1 or 123,999,999 in this example. Of course, the minimum value for this setting is 0 and the maximum 100.
updater	number	0	The interval ID of the API updater, or 0 if there is none.
ytAPIEnabled	boolean	false	Whether or not YouTube API updates are enabled. Always false in public saves due to the API key being removed.
ytAPIKey	string		The YouTube Data API v3 key. Do NOT share it with anyone! Always empty in public saves.
ytChannelID	string		The YouTube channel ID of the channel whose subscriber counter is being tracked.

Counter

JSON Key	Type	Default Value	Description
chartData	array	[]	The data of the chart associated with this counter. If settings.keepChartData is false, this data is discarded upon loading.
id	number		The numeric counter ID.
gain	number	0	The amount that the counter gained by in the last update.
lastAPICount	number or null	null	The API count from the last time the API was checked, or null if API updates are disabled. (v7.0.3+)
leeway	number	0	Same as API update overestimation leeway (v7.0.3+)
settings	object		The counter settings.

Counter settings

JSON Key	Type	Default Value	Description
abb	boolean	false	Whether or not this counter is abbreviated and shows only three significant figures, as in the YouTube API after 2019.
animationDuration	number	2	The duration of the counter's animation. Minimum 0. Set to 0 to disable the animation.
animationType	number	0	The animation setting: 0 is the default odometer animation, 1 is the YouTube Studio odometer animation, and 2 disables the odometer animation and makes the number count to the new value.
bannerBlur	number	4	The amount the channel banner is blurred by in pixels.
bannerFile	file		Used temporarily when the banner image is added using "Choose File." This is converted to a data URI and stored in bannerURL upon loading.
bannerURL	string		The URL of the banner image.
bgColor	color	#000000 (black)	The background color.
chartColor	color	#ff0000 (red)	The color of the line on the chart.
count	number	0	The internal value of the counter. This is rounded (or abbreviated if abb is true) when displayed.
counterColor	color	#000000	The default color of the counter.
customRate	string		The custom distribution setting, where each line has the form of Min,Max,Weight, where Min is the minimum gain, Max is the maximum gain, and Weight is the relative probability of choosing this category. For example: 123,456,1 and 69,420,2 on a new line will cause the counter to gain a random amount from 123 to 456 a third of the time, and a random amount from 69 to 420 two thirds of the time.
downColor	color	#000000	The color of the counter when it is counting down. Set to the same as counterColor to effectively disable.
font	string	Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif	The custom font for the counter.
fontType	number	5	The font setting: 0 = standard font, 1 = serif font, 2 = sans-serif font, 3 = monospace font, 4 = mathematical font as defined by your browser. 5 uses a custom font assuming it is installed on your system. 6 imports a font from Google Fonts.
fontWeight	number	400	The font weight. Note that not all font weights are supported on every font. 100 = thin, 200 = extra light, 300 = light, 400 = regular, 500 = medium, 600 = semi-bold, 700 = bold, 800 = extra bold, 900 = black
footer	string		The footer text of the counter.
footerColor	color	#000000	The color of the footer text.
gainPer	number	2	The amount of time in seconds the counters gain per. Default 2, which makes the gain rates in per default 2 second update interval. Set to 1 for gains in per second, 60 for gains in per minute, and 3600 for gains in per hour. Minimum 0.001.
gainType	number	0	A number corresponding to the method that random numbers are chosen for updating the counter. 0 chooses a random value from minRate to maxRate for the gain uniformly. 1 chooses a value according to a normal distribution with a mean of meanRate and a standard deviation of stdevRate. 2 chooses a value according to the custom distribution given in customRate.
imageFile	file		Used temporarily when the avatar image is added using "Choose File." This is converted to a data URI and stored in imageURL upon loading.
imageURL	string		The URL of the avatar image.
keepChartData	boolean	false	Whether or not to keep the chart's data upon reloading.
lcNetSubButton	boolean	false	Only has an effect on Livecounts.net theme. If true, clicking the "Subscribe!" button adds 1 to the count.
max	number	2^53 - 1	The value at which the counter is capped at.
maxChartValues	number	450	The maximum number of data points stored in the chart. Default 450, which with the default 2 second update interval shows data for the past 15 minutes.
maxRate	number	0	The maximum gain rate of the counter, used when gainType is 0 (uniform distribution)
meanRate	number	0	The mean gain rate of the counter, used when gainType is 1 (normal distribution)
min	number	0	The minimum value the counter can display.
minRate	number	0	The minimum gain rate of the counter, used when gainType is 0 (uniform distribution)
numberFormat	string	,ddd	The number format.
offlineGains	boolean	false	Whether or not to enable offline gains. Offline gains cause the counter to gain as if it were gaining during the entire time the counter was paused or not open, given that this amount of time is at least ten times the update interval.
reverseAnimation	boolean	false	Whether or not to reverse the direction of the odometer animation
showBanner	boolean	false	Whether or not to show the banner
showChart	boolean	false	Whether or not to show the chart (if there is one, then it will still be updating even when hidden)
showFooter	boolean	false	Whether or not to show the footer text
showImage	boolean	true	Whether or not to show the avatar
stdevRate	number	0	The standard deviation of the gain rate of the counter, used when gainType is 1 (normal distribution). Minimum 0.
title	string	User	The title of the counter (usually the username)
titleColor	color	#000000	The color of the title
upColor	color	#000000	The color of the counter when it is counting up. Set to the same as counterColor to effectively disable.
updateProbability	number	100	The percent chance that the counter will update during each update interval. Can be used to "randomize" the update interval. If a counter is updated, its gains are scaled by 100 / probability in percent to match the intended gain rates. Of course, the minimum value for this setting is 0 and the maximum 100.
updateInterval	number	2	The time in seconds between counter updates. The minimum is 0.001 and the maximum is (2^31 - 1)/1000
