User Credit Usage

Anonymous User — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 20:27:05 GMT

I want to query the number of ArcGIS Online credits that a user has consumed in the past 24 hours. As things stand with the CreditManager, you can only query the entire organization. Could an additional parameter be added to the credit_usage method whereby you can specify a specific user or list of users?

Michael,

It doesn't look like it's possible to query credit usage per user at this time using the ArcGIS API for Python. However, I definitely see how this could be useful. Please create a new post under ArcGIS Ideas requesting this functionality.

Michael,

You can query individual users credit consumption using gis.admin.usage_reports.users(). I have attached a simple sample.

I tried using the code mentioned below that use this: gis.admin.usage_reports.users()
However, that was returning some bizarre results - the list was only about half of what our total user count was and it included quite a few users that were not a part of our organization. What is this used for? What is this usage report?

Hi @LindseyDanforth_Boulder ,

This is by design since the usage report tracks all the usernames who used services, including non-organization users who used publicly shared services.

Also, just to clarify, the usage_reports tool reports "usage" for users, if you need to create a credit report for users in your org, you can use gis.admin.usage_reports.credit.

For more details, please see our documentation:

Best,
