# Developer Analytics API API

Use the Developer Analytics API to retrieve call-limit and utilization data for eBay RESTful APIs and the legacy Trading API.

The rate\_limit resource retrieves call-limit data for an application.

The user\_rate\_limit resource retrieves call-limit data for an application user.

The returned rate-limit data includes the call quota, number of calls used, number of remaining calls, reset time, and the time window for each resource.

## API Methods

The following API methods are available:

### getRateLimits

#### GET /rate_limit/
**Description:** This method retrieves the call limit and utilization data for an application. The data is retrieved for all RESTful APIs and the legacy Trading API.  
  
The response from **getRateLimits** includes a list of the applicable resources and the "call limit", or quota, that is set for each resource. In addition to quota information, the response also includes the number of remaining calls available before the limit is reached, the time remaining before the quota resets, the number of calls made to the specific resource, and the length of the "time window" to which the quota applies.  
  
By default, this method returns utilization data for all RESTful API and the legacy Trading API resources. Use the **api\_name** and **api\_context** query parameters to filter the response to only the desired APIs.  
  
For more on call limits, see [Application Growth Check](/grow/application-growth-check).
**Parameters:**
- **api_name** (string)
  - This optional query parameter filters the result to include only the APIs specified.  
  
**Example values:**

### getUserRateLimits

#### GET /user_rate_limit/
**Description:** This method retrieves the call limit and utilization data for an application user. The call-limit data is returned for all RESTful APIs and the legacy Trading API that limit calls on a per-user basis.

By default, this method returns utilization data for all RESTful APIs resources and the legacy Trading API calls that limit request access by user. Use the **api\_name** and **api\_context** query parameters to filter the response to only the desired APIs.  
  
For more on call limits, see [Application Growth Check](/grow/application-growth-check).
