Hits

Retrieve the number of hits you have used for the running month and the total capacity allocated to your current subscription plan.

A hit is consumed for every successful request. For example, we count a validation request if it did not run into an error. Invalid number formats do not count as a hit. This has changed from our previous version where we still counted every API request.

The consumption is counted similarly with a supply request. Only successful object creations are counted. This also allows you to update a supply object without consuming an additional hit. Deleting an object will not reduce the consumed hits.
