Monitor API Usage

The Usage page gives you a live view of how many requests you have made and how many credits you have consumed, with a date range selector and a per-day chart. You can also query your balance programmatically at any time.

In the dashboard

1. Click Usage in the left sidebar.
2. The page loads in 30-day view by default. The header reads "API Usage" with the subtitle "Track request volume, success rate, and credit consumption."
3. Use the date range control in the top-right to switch between 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days. Every section on the page reloads when you change the range.

Stat cards

The four cards across the top summarise your activity for the selected period:

• Total requests — the number of scrape requests dispatched. A trend arrow (green up, red down) shows the percentage change vs. the previous equivalent period.
• Success rate — not yet tracked; displays "—".
• Credits used — credits consumed in the current billing cycle, shown as "X of N this cycle".
• Avg response — not yet tracked; displays "—".

Requests over time chart

Below the stat cards, a line-area chart plots daily request counts for the selected window.

• The Y-axis shows volume (displayed in thousands when the count exceeds 1,000).
• The X-axis shows up to four date markers spanning the period.
• A highlighted dot marks the most recent data point.

Empty state

If no requests were made in the selected period the chart area is replaced with:

No usage data — No requests found for this period.

Check your balance via the API

Use POST /users/credits/ to fetch your current credit balance at any time — useful for dashboards, alerting, or pre-flight checks before running a large collection.
