API Gateway. Quota usage retrieval

[jenriquesoriano]

Dear Community,

taking into consideration the need raised by some of you, a method has been developed to retrieve the remaining quota associated with the API key, enabling the monitoring of the quota consumption when using the Validator API.
This method has been implemented as part of the API Gateway itself and follows the following structure:
https://yzyiqfakm4.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/validator/v2/Usages/{API-Key}/
where API-key is the API key provided by the JRC for Validator API usage (please see #594).

By making a call to this endpoint, you will obtain the usage data for the last 10 days, returning the following information:

• date: date of usage
• uses: number of requests executed by that date
• remaining-uses: number of remaining requests to be consumed by that date

Please note that the quota is replenished on a weekly basis.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hello,
We tested the new functionality with an integration into a Geonetwork instance for validating metadata. It appears that the remaining quota is not updated directly when we launch a validation but only after a few hours. So in some cases we think we still have a number of request allowed while in reality the quota is already over. Could you please check this problem ?

Best regards,

Vincent

Dear @vbombaerts

we have conducted several tests to verify the update frequency of consumption data, from its usage to the update in the API.
According to our results, this update occurs between 30 and 45 minutes after the API call is executed.
In any case, if you obtain longer update times, we recommend taking the obtained update time into consideration when implementing automated processes using the validator's API.

Best regards,
