  • from and to values must be in // format.
  • resolution specified res attribute: ‘day’, ‘hour’ or ‘month’
  • api_id - policy id associated with developer portal API. If ommited return stats for all APIs.

In example above add2b342,5f1d9603, is 2 users keys. Note that this example shows hashed key values as described here. Key hashing is turned on for the Cloud, but for Multi-Cloud and Self-Managed installations you can also turn it off. Hashed keys mean that the API administrator does not have access to real user keys, but they can still use the hashed values for showing analytics.
