# Get Object Storage global quota usage data

Returns usage data for a specific global quota (`objGlobalQuotaId`). This includes the maximum number of resources permitted by the quota and your current usage for that resource.


**Permissions and scopes**

To call this operation, you need the following:

- **OAuth scopes**. Your user needs these scopes assigned. [Learn more](https://techdocs.akamai.com/linode-api/reference/get-started#oauth).

  - Scopes: `object_storage:read_only`


**CLI**

```shell
linode-cli object-storage global-quota-usage-view keys
```
