The API Usage Analytics dashboard shows a breakdown of your credit consumption by endpoint and API key. This lets you monitor credit usage, investigate spikes, and optimise your integrations without needing to contact Support.

πŸ’‘ Note: This feature is available to Admins on paid plans only.

How to access API usage analytics

  1. Log in to your Lusha dashboard.

  2. Click your name in the top-right corner.

  3. Go to Analytics.

  4. Click the Credit usage section.

  5. Use the Source or User tabs to filter by API origin, or scroll to the API credit usage table for a detailed technical breakdown.

Filtering your API data

  1. Click the All API keys dropdown on the right side of the API section and select a specific key, or keep it on All API keys for a full account view.

  2. Use the Time range selector (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) to see when credits were used.

  3. Check the Endpoint column to see which specific actions (such as /v2/person or /v2/company) are driving consumption.

Understanding the consumption table

The table at the bottom of the page provides the most granular view:

  • Endpoint - the specific API path called (e.g., prospecting/contact/enrich)

  • Number of calls - total requests made to that endpoint

  • Credits consumed - actual credits deducted for those calls

  • % of total usage - a visual bar showing how much of your total API spend this endpoint represents

πŸ’‘ Note: API usage is tracked at the account level. Credits are drawn from your organisation's total pool, regardless of which API key made the call.

If you don't see the API section

  • Permissions - you must be logged in as an Admin. Regular users don't have access to account-wide API billing data.

  • Plan - API access and advanced analytics aren't available on the Free plan.

  • No activity - if no API calls were made in the selected time range, the table will appear empty.

You're all set - now you have full visibility into how your API credits are being used.
