pen-to-squareOverview

The Overview tab is your command center for monitoring API usage, tracking performance, and understanding your account status.

Quick Stats

The dashboard displays four key metrics at the top:

Monthly Requests

  • What it shows: Total API requests made in the current billing period

  • Trend indicator: Shows percentage change compared to last month

    • ↑ Green = Increase

    • ↓ Red = Decrease

    • → Gray = No change

  • Use case: Monitor your API usage patterns and growth

Remaining Quota

  • What it shows: Number of requests remaining in your current plan

  • Display: Shows actual number or ♾️ for unlimited plans

  • Alert: Keep an eye on this to avoid hitting your limit

  • Action: Upgrade your plan if you're consistently hitting limits

Success Rate

  • What it shows: Percentage of successful API requests

  • Calculation: (Successful requests / Total requests) × 100

  • Healthy range: 95% or higher is excellent

  • Status indicator: "Operational" when performing well

  • Troubleshooting: Low success rate may indicate API key issues or invalid requests

Whitelist Limit

  • What it shows: Percentage of IP whitelist slots used

  • Details: Shows "X / Y IPs used" (e.g., "3 / 50 IPs used")

  • Plan-based: Limit varies by subscription tier

  • Action: Remove unused IPs or upgrade for more slots

Understanding the Data

Success Rate Badge Colors:

  • 🟢 Green (95-100%): Excellent performance

  • 🟡 Yellow (80-94%): Good, but room for improvement

  • 🔴 Red (<80%): Needs attention Common Patterns:

  • Steady growth: Increasing requests month-over-month

  • Seasonal spikes: Higher usage during specific months

  • Sudden drops: May indicate integration issues or service changes

Understanding Your Usage

Billing Period

Your usage metrics are calculated based on your billing cycle:

  • Free Tier: Calendar month (resets on the 1st)

  • Paid Plans: Subscription period (e.g., from signup date)

Quota Management

When approaching your limit:

  1. Monitor regularly: Check the "Remaining Quota" card

  2. Optimize usage: Review which endpoints consume most requests

  3. Consider upgrading: Switch to a higher tier if needed

  4. Whitelist optimization: Remove unused IP addresses

What happens when quota is exceeded:

  • API requests will be blocked

Success Rate Optimization

If your success rate is low:

  1. Check API keys: Ensure they're active and have correct permissions

  2. Review request format: Validate request parameters

  3. Check IP whitelist: Ensure your IPs are whitelisted if required

  4. Monitor error codes: Use logs to identify specific issues

  5. Contact support: If issues persist


Best Practices

Regular Monitoring

  • Daily: Quick glance at success rate

  • Weekly: Review request trends

  • Monthly: Analyze full activity table before billing cycle ends

Proactive Management

  • Plan ahead: Upgrade before hitting limits

  • Clean up: Remove unused API keys and whitelisted IPs

Team Collaboration

  • Assign roles: Give team members appropriate access levels

  • Review together: Monthly usage reviews help optimize costs
