apiusage-by-time

🚧

The apiusage-by-time report is being discontinued

This report is deprecated and will be deactivated on July 1, 2025. As an alternative, use the new common/apis/usage report, based on the Reporting API v2.

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.
