Solved: Apigee Cloud API Calls limitation

thembashezi · 04-09-2021 05:32 AM

Hi All

Apigee Cloud standard edition license which has limitation of 180 million API calls per year. How can we see how much calls we've used so far and if we are getting closer to reaching this limit?

Also if we exceed this, what would happen?

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is not an easy-to-use dashboard showing you how close you are to that limit. And there is no automatic "notification" system that tells you when you've reached 80%, 90%, etc.

The best way to see the number is to use the Apigee analytics, and pull the data from there.

This repo holds a nodejs script that you can run to pull the data out of your organization, and produce a google sheet, that shows you the month-by-month totals and the grand total. It also produces charts showing the trend.

If this feels like too much work then you can call your Apigee sales rep who has access to an (unfortunately) internal only dashboard where we can see the data and trend.

If you exceed the 180MM or whatever you're entitled to, then... what happens is, the service keeps on serving, and eventually you should get a phone call from someone at Apigee asking for $$. to cover the overages. 🙂 The overage rate is spelled out in your contract. It's not egregious, but you do want to be aware if you are likely to breach the limit..

Thanks @Dino

I ran the script and got expected insight.
