Developer API > Analytics API > getRateLimits doesn't return amount of calls used

[swiv-o-matic]

Making a call to https://api.ebay.com/developer/analytics/v1_beta/rate_limit/?api_name=tradingapi
and despite having used approximately 800 calls so far today for GetOrders, it's still returning:

"limit": 5000,
"remaining": 5000,

I'm hours from my reset time, so it wasn't just reset.

I am making the call using the same token which is making the Trading API call.

What am I doing wrong?

I've not used this call, but, if a user token was required to access "GetOrders", then it would seem that a user token should be required to access "/user_rate_limit/".

[swiv-o-matic]

Yes, it does need the user token.

It's saying I didn't use any calls at all whatsoever, which is definitely not the case.

@swiv-o-matic 

Sorry, I was unclear again. If the user token is provided, which you confirmed, then I believe the endpoint is wrong and should be "/user_rate_limit/".

[swiv-o-matic]

No problem. I should've mentioned the same thing happens with that call as well.

I am finding the same behavior with the 

https://api.ebay.com/developer/analytics/v1_beta/rate_limit/ API call.  The "remaining" value (e.g. 5000) is always the same as the limit, but that can't be right?  I provide the Bearer token for my Application and an eBay user (does the eBay user matter here?)  I just need to see the remaining rate limits for my app.  This to crucial to information to understand how the application is scaling, and if it requires a rate limit increase.

I'm having the exact same problem.

I think my solution for now will be to implement a counter for my api calls.

I help you

Has anyone found a way around this? I'm running into the same issue and it's incredibly unhelpful to be told to check your limits but have no way to do it.

I managed to get it working on eBay's API Explorer page. In the textarea where you need to put a token, click on "Get OAuth Application Token" instead of "Get OAuth User Token". It kind of makes sense given that the limits are for your "application",  not for your individual users.
