API Usage Dashboard — Monitor Your API Requests and Rate L...

Account Feature

API Usage Dashboard

Every Opensolr account now has a dedicated API Usage page that gives you full visibility into how your application consumes the API. See your request volume, live rate limit gauges, per-endpoint breakdowns, and monthly trends.

What You Can See

Total Requests

Your total API calls for the selected month, updated every minute as data flows in from all servers.

Live Rate Gauges

Your last-minute and last-hour request counts shown as color-coded gauges. Green, yellow, or red — know instantly if you are close to being throttled.

Endpoint Breakdown

A full table showing which API endpoints your application calls and what percentage of traffic each one accounts for.

Monthly History

A bar chart of your request volume over the last 6 months so you can spot usage trends and plan ahead.

Dashboard

All logged and visible on your API Usage page

Every authenticated API request passes through the rate limiter. It uses sliding-window counters to track your usage per minute and per hour. If you are within limits, the request is processed normally. If you exceed your threshold, you get an HTTP 429 response with a Retry-After header.

Default Limits

30
requests / minute
Sliding window — resets continuously
500
requests / hour
Sliding window — resets continuously
Sliding windows, not fixed intervals. If you sent 30 requests between 10:00:15 and 10:00:45, you can send your next request at 10:01:15 when the oldest one falls out of the window — you do not need to wait until the next full minute boundary.

Which API Calls Count?

Every authenticated API endpoint counts toward your limits. The dashboard breaks them down individually:

ai_summary
embed
batch_embed
index (search)
commit
get_index_list
create_index
start_crawl
reload_core
+ all other endpoints

How to Access Your Dashboard

Log in to your Opensolr account at opensolr.com
Click Account in the top navigation bar
Select API Usage from the dropdown

Or navigate directly to /admin/solr_manager/my_api_usage

Need higher rate limits for your integration? We can set custom thresholds for your account.

API - Solr Traffic Monitoring API

Solr Traffic Monitoring API

Learn More about the UI Opensolr Monitoring Tools.

With Opensolr, you can now use the Automation REST API, in order to find anomalies and audit your Solr requests, in many fun ways.
Here are some example API requests that you can make to get all requests in a csv format, JSON format for all requests, etc (you can use the start and rows parameter to paginate the requests, and grab all data through multiple requests, programmatically):

Using curl (simply login and then copy/paste any of these):

Last 200 requests from 1 day ago as json (might take a while to load):

curl -gs "https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/request_log?email=PLEASE_LOG_IN&api_key=PLEASE_LOG_IN&core_name=PLEASE_LOG_IN&start=0&sort=date%20desc&rows=200&fq[]=date:[NOW-1DAY%20TO%20NOW]&wt=json"


IP and Path facets on all requests since 1 Month ago:

curl -gs "https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/request_log?email=PLEASE_LOG_IN&api_key=PLEASE_LOG_IN&core_name=PLEASE_LOG_IN&start=0&sort=date%20desc&rows=0&fq[]=date:[NOW-1MONTH%20TO%20NOW]&wt=json&facet=true&facet.field[]=path&facet.field[]=ip"

API - Get Index Request Log

Get Index Request Log

You can use this method, to get your request log, in a SOLR JSON format.
You can add almost every solr-supported parameter to your GET request, as GET parameters, as explained in the example below, where we get the first 10 request log entries for the index named opensolr between dates: Jan. 01 2023 to May 01 2023, where the requests returned an error http_status (-fq=http_status:200) sorted by date descending.

  1. ​GET https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/request_log
  2. Parameters:
    1. ​email - your opensolr registration email address
    2. api_key - your opensolr api_key
    3. ​core_name - the name of the index
    4. most other solr-supported query parameter, such as: q, start, rows, sort, fq, facet, facet.field[] etc
    5. Click here to learn more about the supported Solr Query Parameters
    6. Note that the multiple solr-supported parameters, will be passed with a double square bracket [], to indicate an array of multiple values for the same parameter, such in the case of fq, qf, etc.
    7. For example, if you want to enable facetting, you'll have to pass on the parameters like:  &facet=true&facet.field[]=ip&facet.field[]=core_name
    8. To exclude empty queries: &fq[]=-q:""
    9. To exclude empty and wildcard queries: &fq[]=-q:""&fq[]=-q:"*:*"
    10. To get data in another format, you simply pass in a different wt parameter, as such: &wt=csv which gets data in csv format. You can get more information here.
    11. By making a sample request you will see all the fields that are available to filter, sort or facet by.
  3. Example request: 
<strong>https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/request_log?email=PLEASE_LOG_IN&api_key=PLEASE_LOG_IN&core_name=opensolr&start=0&sort=date%20desc&rows=10&fq[]=date:[2023-01-01T00:00:00Z%20TO%202023-05-31T00:00:00Z]&facet=true&facet.field[]=core_name&fq[]=+http_status:""&fq[]=-http_status:200</strong>
