API Stability Short-Term

The queryQuotaUsage() GraphQL query returns the query quota usage for a particular user.

For more information on query quotas, see the Query Quotas documentation page.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the queryQuotaUsage() query field:

graphql
queryQuotaUsage(
     username: string!
   ): [QueryQuotaUsage]!

There's only one input, the username . The return datatype is described in the Returned Datatypes section. Here's an example of how this query field might be used:

Raw
graphql
query {
  queryQuotaUsage(
  username: "bob@company.com"
  ) {interval, staticCost, liveCost, queryCount}
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \

{"query" : "query {
  queryQuotaUsage(
  username: \"bob@company.com\"
