What’s New
We’ve introduced an update to how usage for the AEC Data Model API is reported, making it easier to understand and manage your data consumption. Usage is now measured as Data In and Data Out, reported in megabytes (MB), providing a more direct and meaningful view of how your applications interact with the API.
Where to View Usage
You can view this updated usage reporting in:
-
Your Autodesk account
-
Through your APS developer hub
These portals now reflect Data In and Data Out (MB) as the primary metric for AEC Data Model API usage.
Why This Change?
The goal of this update is to improve transparency and make usage easier to interpret. By focusing on the amount of data transferred, developers get a clearer picture of how their API calls impact overall consumption.
This also aligns usage reporting with how data-intensive services are typically measured, helping teams better estimate and manage usage over time.
What This Means for You
With this new reporting update:
-
Usage is easier to understand at a glance
-
You can better correlate API calls with data consumption
-
Identifying heavy or inefficient workflows becomes simpler
-
Optimization efforts can be more targeted and effective
