In the main dashboard, you’ll see account wide analytics and account information. To get more detailed information, you can select tabs on the left-hand side of the screen.

App Specific Analytics

Using the Rakuten RapidAPI dashboard, you can also view analytics specific to each app in your account. To do so, switch over to the ‘Analytics’ tab of your application in the dashboard.

On the top of the page, you’ll be able to see a chart with all the calls being made to all the APIs your app is connected to. You’ll also be able to see a log with all the request data. You are also able to filter these analytics to only show certain APIs within the app.

In each graph, you can view the following metrics:

  • API Calls: how many requests are being made
  • Error rates: how many requests are error some
  • Latency: how long (on average) requests take to execute

You may change the time period you’re looking at by clicking the little calendar icon and choosing a date range.
