Feature Request: API call for API Usage and Quotas
Feature Request:
Add an API method that returns the API Usage Data (# of calls made today and daily limits).
Explanation:
Non-admin users may employ API calls, but cannot see API Usage Data anywhere.
I recently posted another topic regarding the availability of the API Usage data (
https://www.zoho.com/crm/help/api/api-limits.html#API_Usage ), which I now have figured out is only available to a Zoho root (administrator) account. Since other users may be actually employing the API, this is problematic, particularly since some tasks require potentially large numbers of calls (checking Leads for new attachments, for example -- since adding an attachment [unlike a Note] does not alter the Lead's "Modified" or "Last Access" times, it is necessary to query every single record - I may put in a bug report on that one). It would be very helpful to be able to check how many API calls have been made and how many remain, and the ideal solution would be to provide a call for this through the API itself, so that all API users can observe and automatically limit their usage.
