Understand better about API request in Directus

Hi guys,

Our team has just moved from self-hosted to cloud version. One of the critical things is that I want to manage the API request well but I do not see any detail document about how API request is calculated. For the time being, I know that API requests count for both Directus Admin Panel & also the external API.

I want to know if any operation inside Directus Admin Panel like Flows, CSV Import can top up the total API requests since I have many flows or data import for the migration state.

Thank you!

Hey @Zura1555! :waving_hand: Every API request to Directus — including the ones from the studio — are counted as API requests. Therefore a request to trigger a flow or importing a single CSV file all are counted as a single API request. If you have concerns about your usage of your cloud project our support team can help you out more over at support@directus.io. Thanks!
