Key Dashboard Metrics

The dashboard presents several important metrics that help you monitor your API usage:

  1. API Calls Graph: Visual chart showing your daily API call volume, helping you identify usage patterns and trends over time

  2. Total Monthly API Calls: Shows your current usage against your monthly allocation, for e.g:

    20,000/20,000

    This includes the reset date information, so you know when your quota will refresh

  3. Remaining Monthly API Calls: Displays how many API requests you have left in your current billing cycle, for e.g:

    (will reset on 06-01-2025)
5000

  4. API Call Statistics Table: Detailed breakdown of your recent API requests with the following information:

    • API Name: The endpoint name that was accessed
    • End Point: The specific endpoint path that was accessed
    • Time: Exact timestamp of the request
    • IP Address: Origin of the request
    • Status Code: HTTP response status (200 = Success, 400s = Client errors, etc.)

🔎

Usage Insight: The API Call Statistics table is invaluable for debugging issues with specific endpoints or identifying unusual activity patterns that might indicate unauthorized use.

🔑 API Key Usage

Each API key's usage can be monitored from the API Keys section.

Viewing Key Status and Activity
