Checking API requests usage

In the API, we also expose /usage endpoind to let you check the status of active request packs associated with your account.

tip

Each successful request to Scraping Fish API is worth exactly one API request regardless of query parameters or other options.

To get the current status of API requests available for your account, you can call /usage endpoint with api_key query parameter as follows:

Python

import requests

response = requests.get("https://scraping.narf.ai/api/v1/usage/?api_key=[your API key]")
print(response.content)

NodeJS

const axios = require("axios");

const response = await axios.get("https://scraping.narf.ai/api/v1/usage/?api_key=[your API key]");
console.log(response.data);

cURL

curl -G 'https://scraping.narf.ai/api/v1/usage/?api_key=[your API key]'

In the response, you get a list of your valid API request packs sorted in ascending order by expiration date, for example:

[
  {
    "total": 100000,
    "left": 69420,
    "expires": "24 Feb 2024 20:00:00 GMT"
  }
]

where

• total: the total number of API requests you purchased in this pack,
• left: the number of API requests left in this pack,
• expires: API requests pack expiration date in UTC.

This information is also available in the Scraping Fish dashboard after you log in to your account.

If you currently do not have any API requests available, the list in the response will be empty.

info

API requests are always subtracted from the request pack with the earliest expiration date.

note

Obviously, calling /usage endpoint does not affect your available API requests.
