How to Use the Public API Dashboard

Learn how to monitor your Public API usage — request totals, daily trends, and which keys are driving the most traffic.

The FansMetric Public API lets you authenticate external services and integrations with your account. The Dashboard is where you track how those integrations are using the API.

Before You Begin

Permission required: You must be an organization admin to see the Public API section.

Accessing the Dashboard

Go to Public API in the left navigation menu and click Dashboard.

Tip: The dashboard only shows data once your keys start making requests. If you haven't set one up yet, create an API key first see How to Create and Manage API Keys.


Day boundaries are calculated in UTC, and the data refreshes automatically.

Usage Totals

Three cards at the top show total request counts for:

  • Today

  • Last week

  • Last month

Daily Requests

A bar chart with one bar per day, showing total requests across all keys. Hover over a bar to see the exact count for that day. If there's no activity, it reads "No requests recorded in this window."

Top Keys

A table of your most-used keys, with columns for:

  • Name - With a status dot (green for active, gray for inactive)

  • Roles - The roles assigned to the key

  • Last Used - When the key last made a request

  • Today / Last week / Last month - Request counts for each window

If no keys have made requests recently, the table reads "No API key usage in this window."
