Requests, successes, failures, cache hits and credits charged per time bucket, optionally grouped by endpoint, key and outcome. Buckets are listed oldest first, cursor-paged. Data is complete to within about 5 minutes; credits reconcile with the ledger. Free.
Auth: an API key with the account:read scope, or the dashboard session.
Test mode: A test key gets an empty report: test requests are not metered.

400 Bad Request.
| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
invalid_input | 400 | No | The request parameters are missing or malformed, or the URL is not a supported link for this endpoint. | Fix the parameter named in param (the message says how); for a link of the wrong kind, call the endpoint the message names. |
invalid_cursor | 400 | No | The cursor is malformed, expired, belongs to another endpoint, or the other parameters differ from the request that issued it. | Repeat the original request without cursor to start the list again. |

403
403 Forbidden.
| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
forbidden | 403 | No | The API key is valid but may not make this request: its account is suspended, its scopes do not include the route, it is waiting for its owner's email confirmation, it is past its expiry, or the request came from an IP its allowlist does not include. A running job stops the same way when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item (a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403): branch on the code. | Do what details.reason says: if suspended, contact support; otherwise use a key whose scopes cover the route (details.required_scope), have the owner confirm the emailed link, create a new key, or call from an allowed IP. |

429
429 Too Many Requests.
| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
rate_limited | 429 | Yes, later | The account exceeded its runaway-protection ceiling: plans do not limit request rate, but a high per-account safety ceiling stops broken client loops. Support raises it on request. Without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint), requests are limited per IP address instead. | Wait for the number of seconds in the retry-after header, then retry; ask support to raise the ceiling if your sustained traffic needs more (calls without an API key: use one). |
