Tasks

In Tweakwise, it is possible to be informed as soon as you reach a certain number of API requests in a day. This allows you to proactively monitor your API request usage. For example, you can take timely actions if there is a risk of overusage or if there is a bot or crawler involved.

Follow the steps below to set up an email notification:

  1. Create a new task

    • Go to the Connectivity module
    • Click on ‘Create new task’
    • Give the task a clear name, for example, "Monitoring API Usage"
    • For the Task Type, choose Monitoring and then click Save.

  2. Set up the notification

    • Navigate to the Setup tab.
    • Enter the desired email address or multiple email addresses where you want to receive the notifications.
    • Then set the daily threshold, which is the maximum number of API requests per day, against which the actual usage will be compared.

  3. Set up the Triggers

    • Go to the Triggers tab to set the time at which the API usage check should occur.
    • We recommend setting a time between 06:00 and 07:00 as the previous day's usage will be available at that time.
