Overview
The API Usage Analytics dashboard provides a transparent breakdown of your credit consumption across different API endpoints and keys. This helps you monitor credit burn, investigate usage spikes, and optimize your custom integrations without needing technical support or manual calculations. In this guide, you’ll learn how to access your API analytics and interpret the data to manage your budget effectively.
This feature is open to admins under a paid plan only.
Accessing the API Usage Dashboard
To see your API data, you need to navigate to the Lusha Analytics.
Log in to your Lusha dashboard.
Click on your name on the top right-hand corner.
Navigate to Analytics.
Click on the Credit usage section.
Select the Source or User tabs to filter by specific API origins, or scroll down to the API credit usage table for a technical breakdown.
Filtering Your API Data
You can narrow down your view to find specific information about how your keys are performing.
Locate the All API keys dropdown menu on the right side of the API section.
Select a specific API Key Name to view usage for a single integration, or keep it on All API keys for a holistic view.
Use the Time range selector (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly) to see when your credits were consumed.
Review the Endpoint column to see which specific actions (like
/v2/personor/v2/company) are driving your consumption.
Understanding the Consumption Table
The bottom table provides the most granular detail for RevOps and Admins.
Endpoint: Shows the specific API path called (e.g., prospecting/contact/enrich).
Number of calls: The total count of requests made to that endpoint.
Credits consumed: The actual number of credits deducted from your balance for those calls.
% of total usage: A visual bar indicating how much of your total API spend this endpoint represents.
💡 Note: API usage is calculated at the account level. While you can filter by API key, the credits are drawn from your organization's total pool.
Troubleshooting Missing Data
If you don't see the API section in your dashboard, check the following:
Permissions: Ensure you are logged in as an Admin. Standard users do not have access to account-wide API billing data.
Plan Tier: API access and advanced analytics are not available on the Free plan.
Active Integration: If no API calls have been made in the selected time range, the table may appear empty.
You're all set! Now you're ready to prospect smarter and manage your API budget with total transparency.
