getUserRateLimit - How to use?

[yadeh_4]

I'm trying to construct a call to return the rate limit and remaining calls from the FindingAPI. I've tried "findingapi" as a value for both api_context and api_name, both return 204.

How can one return the usage of FindingAPI?

The Analytic API covers only the RESTful APIs and the Trading API.  The Finding API is not covered.

In the years I have used the Finding API, despite there being a stated limit, there did not appear to be an actual limit.  A 5000 daily limit is stated today.

We used to find our limits and usage on the account page, and the Finding limits were never stated there either.

My recourse was to put a counter on my apps and let them tell me my call usage.  I think all my apps might total around 30K-40K calls daily to the Finding API, and that's usually retrieving the maximum 100 items per page to keep the call count down.

That's helpful!
Good idea to use a counter. Will implement the same. Think its safe to say that there isn't an actual limit if your apps are hitting ~30k calls daily lol!

Thanks!
