The following shows how to generate the apiusage-by-time report using either the Reporting API's Generate a report POST operation or the Get a cacheable report GET operation. Details about each report's supported products, metrics, filters, and available data intervals are also available dynamically by running the API's Get a report type operation, also shown below. See also other available reports.

Report definition

The API usage report allows you to audit which users are using APIs and which APIs are most frequently used.

This report allows you to configure the aggregation interval for each data record. Available interval values are: MONTH, WEEK, DAY, HOUR.

Business object: account_id

Data available for: 92 days

Required products: EDGECONTROL

Available metrics

Available filters

POST request

POST /reporting-api/v1/reports/apiusage-by-time/versions/1/report-data{?start,​end,​interval}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/apiusage-by-time/versions/1/report-data?start​=2021-07-05T10%3A00%3A00Z​&end​=2021-07-05T14%3A00%3A00Z​&interval​=HOUR

For other granularity, you need to adjust start and end dates:

Sample with longer interval: /reporting-api/v1/reports/apiusage-by-time/versions/1/report-data?start=2021-03-01&end=2021-07-01&interval=MONTH
