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

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

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2021-07-05T10:00:00Z`	Specifies the `start` of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with an optional time zone. The report includes data that matches the `start` value's timestamp.
`end`	String	`2021-07-05T14:00:00Z`	Specifies the `end` of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value's timestamp.
`interval`	Enumeration	`HOUR`	The duration of each data record. Available values: `MONTH`, `WEEK`, `DAY`, `HOUR`.
`objectIds`	Array	`1-1234K`, `T-ES-123455`	Specifies the set of `account_id` values you want to report on.
`objectIds`	Enumeration	`1-1234K`, `T-ES-123455`	As an alternative to an array of ID values, specify `all` as a string for unfiltered data. Either way, `objectIds` is required.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`metrics`	Array	The set of desired metrics. If omitted, the report includes all available metrics.
`filters`	Map of arrays	Specifies a set of custom filters, with each filter's name keying an array with each filter's set of values.

GET request

GET /reporting-api/v1/reports/apiusage-by-time/versions/1/report-data{?start,end,interval,objectIds,allObjectIds,metrics,filters}

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&objectIds=1-1234,1-ABCDE,1-ABC123&metrics=bytes%2CbytesTotal&filters=contract_type%3D1-3CV382%2Ccontract_type%3D1-6T5ZND%2Cendpoint%3Dendpoint%2F1%2Cendpoint%3Dendpoint%2F2

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2021-07-05T10:00:00Z`	Specifies the start of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone.
`end`	String	`2021-07-05T14:00:00Z`	Specifies the end of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value's timestamp.
`interval`	Enumeration	`HOUR`	The duration of each data record. Available values: `MONTH`, `WEEK`, `DAY`, `HOUR`.
Optional
`allObjectIds`	Boolean	`true`	As an alternative to `objectIds`, enabling this generates a report that includes all IDs available for the `account_id` object type. This parameter is ignored if the request also specifies a set of objectIds.
`objectIds`	String	`1-1234,1-ABCDE,1-ABC123`	As an alternative to `allObjectIds`, specifies the set of unique IDs for the `account_id` object type you want to report on, formatted as a comma-delimited list.
`metrics`	String	`bytes,bytesTotal`	Specifies a comma-separated list of metrics to include in the report, otherwise all metrics if omitted. The set of available metrics depends on the type of report. URL-encode the entire value in the GET request.
`filters`	String	`contract_type=1-3CV382,contract_type=1-6T5ZND,endpoint=endpoint/1,endpoint=endpoint/2`	Specifies criteria to filter the report's data. The set of available filters depends on the type of report. Separate each filter name and value with an equals (`=`) character, and separate various name/value pairs with commas (`,`). To specify more than one filter value, repeat the filter name. See the accompanying example for guidance. URL-encode the entire value in the GET request.
