The purge-usage-by-action report is being discontinued
This report is deprecated and will be deactivated on July 1, 2025. As an alternative, use the new delivery/purge/usage report, based on the Reporting API v2.
The following shows how to generate the purge-usage-by-action 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.
