Checking API Usage and Transaction Counts in Symmetry POC

Introduction

The Symmetry dashboard offers real-time tracking of your organization's API usage and transaction counts. Monitoring these metrics is essential to manage your subscription limits effectively and forecast your needs for scaling usage as your integration grows.

Accessing API Usage Data

To review your API usage and transaction counts:

1. Log in to your Symmetry POC account dashboard at [Insert dashboard URL].
2. Navigate to the "API Usage" section located in the main menu or under your account settings.
3. View the current period’s API call counts, transaction totals, and breakdowns by endpoint.
4. Use filters or date selectors if available to analyze historical usage or compare different timeframes.

Understanding Usage Metrics

The dashboard displays key metrics to help you understand and optimize your API consumption:

• Total API calls made within the billing cycle.
• Transaction counts reflecting the number of payroll tax calculations or other processed operations.
• Breakdowns by API endpoint to identify high-usage areas or potential optimization points.
• Alerts or notifications when you approach or exceed subscription limits.

Managing Your Subscription Limits

Keeping track of your API usage helps prevent service interruptions due to exceeding your plan limits. If you notice consistent high usage or anticipate growth in transactions, consider upgrading your subscription plan or contacting Symmetry support for guidance on scaling.

Additional Tips

• Automate monitoring by integrating usage alerts if your account supports webhook or email notifications.
• Regularly audit your API integrations to ensure efficient usage and eliminate redundant calls.
