@ -12,3 +12,124 @@ Quota consumption is calculated based on the number of request made for each fun
**Note:** Queries to the Data Services API, and any of its functions in your maps, may be forbidden in the future
* It is advised to store results of these queries into your datasets, and refresh them as needed. This ensure more control of quota credits for your account
## Quota Information Functions
There are several SQL functions that you can run to obtain quota information about your services.
## cdb_service_quota_info()
Returns information about per-service quotas (available and used) for the account.
#### Returns
This function returns a set of service quota information records, one per service.
Name | Type | Description
--------------- | --------- | ------------
`service` | `text` | Type of service.
`monthly_quota` | `numeric` | Quota available to the user (number of calls) per monthly period.
`used_quota` | `numeric` | Quota used by the user in the present period.
`soft_limit` | `boolean` | Set to `True`, if the user has *soft-limit* quota.
`provider` | `text` | Service provider for this type of service.
Service Types:
* `'isolines'` [Isoline/Isochrones (isochrone/isodistance lines) service](https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/dataservices-api/isoline_functions/)
* `'hires_geocoder'` [Street level geocoding](https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/dataservices-api/geocoding-functions#street-level-geocoder)
* `'routing'` [Routing functions](https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/dataservices-api/routing_functions/)
* `'observatory'` Data Observatory services ([demographic](https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/dataservices-api/demographic_functions/) and [segmentation](https://carto.com/docs/carto-engine/dataservices-api/segmentation_functions/) functions)
**Notes**
Users who have *soft-quota* activated never run out of quota, but they may incur extra
expenses when the regular quota is exceeded.
A zero value of `monthly_quota` indicates that the service has not been activated for the user.
#### Example
```sql
SELECT * FROM cdb_service_quota_info();
```
Result:
```
service | monthly_quota | used_quota | soft_limit | provider
----------------+---------------+------------+------------+------------------
isolines | 100 | 0 | f | mapzen
hires_geocoder | 100 | 0 | f | mapzen
routing | 50 | 0 | f | mapzen
observatory | 0 | 0 | f | data observatory
(4 rows)
```
In this case, notice that the user has no access to the observatory services. All quotas are *hard-limited* (no soft limits), and no quota has been used in the present period.
## cdb_enough_quota(service text ,input_size numeric)
This function is useful to check if enough quota is available for completing a job.
This is specifically relevant if a number of service calls are to be performed inside a transaction. If any of the calls fails (due to exceeded quota), the transaction will be rolled back; resulting in partial quota consumption, but no saved results from the services consumed.
**Tip:** If you are requesting repeating quota-consuming functions (e.g. to geocode a whole table), it is extremely important to check if enough quota is available to complete the job _before_ applying this function.
Note that some services consume more than one credit per row/call. For example, isolines (with more than one range/track) consume (N rows x M ranges) credits; indicating that the input size should be N x M.
#### Arguments
Name | Type | Description
------------ | --------- | -----------
`service` | `text` | Service to check; see the list of valid services above.
`input_size` | `numeric` | Number of service calls required, i.e. size of the input to be processed.
#### Returns
The result is a *boolean* value. A *true* value (`'t'`) indicates that the available quota
for the service is enough for the input size requested. A *false* value (`'f'`) indicates
insufficient quota.
#### Example
Suppose you want to geocode a whole table. In order to check that you have enough quota, and avoid a "quota exhausted" exception, first find out how many records you need to geocode:
```sql
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {tablename} WHERE {street_name_column} IS NOT NULL;
```
Result: here's a sample result of 10000 records:
```
count
-------
10000
(1 row)
```
The result shows how much quota is needed to complete this job. In this case,
each call to `cdb_geocode_street_point` consumes one quota credit. This indicates that we need one credit per row to geocode the whole table.
```sql
SELECT cdb_enough_quota('hires_geocoder', {number_of_records});
```
The result is similar to the following:
```
cdb_enough_quota
------------------
t
```
If the result of this query is *true* (`'t'`), you can safely proceed. If a *false* value (`'f'`) is returned, you should avoid processing any more requests that consume quota. Apply the `cdb_service_quota_info` function to get more information about your services.
**Note:** Remember to apply any filtering conditions that you used to count the records (in this case, `{street_name_column} IS NOT NULL`):
```sql
UPDATE {tablename} SET the_geom = cdb_geocode_street_point({street_name_column})
WHERE {street_name_column} IS NOT NULL;
```
