An API meter app is a tool designed to track and manage the usage of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). It provides insights into how often APIs are being called, monitors usage limits, and helps prevent API abuse or overuse. On the app configuration page, users can customize the modules they wish to monitor for API rate details. The app will then display these configured modules along with the following details: 1. Total API rate allocated 2. Number of API calls consumed 3. Number of API calls remaining If the API rate limit is exceeded, the app will show the retry-after time. This feature assists users in making successful API calls after the indicated waiting period. Overall, an API meter app plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient and responsible use of APIs, optimizing performance, and maintaining compliance with API usage policies and agreements.
