Account & Usage

Usage overview

Read the current-month quota snapshot for your API keys.

What it is

The usage overview endpoint returns the current-month quota snapshot for every API key on the authenticated account, including request count, request limit, overage, and remaining capacity.

When to use it

Building dashboard quota cards and usage summaries.
Checking whether an account is close to its monthly request limit.
Auditing how many active keys are drawing against the same quota bucket.

REST example

python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
  'https://api.financedata.com/v1/dashboard/usage',
  headers={'Authorization': f"Bearer {os.environ['FDA_DASHBOARD_JWT']}"},
  timeout=30,
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())

MCP example

Tool call body

{}

The current MCP surface covers symbols, signals, and backtesting. Dashboard usage data is still REST-only, so keep this call on the authenticated dashboard API until a dedicated MCP tool ships.

Agent prompt that triggers it
