## Quota Information
|
|
|
|
**Based on your account plan, some of the Data Services API functions are subject to quota limitations and extra fees may apply.** View our [terms and conditions](https://carto.com/terms/), or [contact us](mailto:sales@carto.com) for details about which functions require service credits to your account.
|
|
|
|
### Quota Consumption
|
|
|
|
Quota consumption is calculated based on the number of request made for each function. Be mindful of the following usage recommendations when using the Data Services API functions:
|
|
|
|
* One credit per function call will be consumed. The results are not cached. If the query is applied to a _N_ rows dataset, then _N_ credits are consumed
|
|
* Avoid running dynamic queries to these functions in your maps. This can result in credit consumption per map view.
|
|
|
|
**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:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
service | monthly_quota | used_quota | soft_limit | provider
|
|
----------------+---------------+------------+------------+------------------
|
|
isolines | 100 | 0 | f | mapbox
|
|
hires_geocoder | 100 | 0 | f | mapbox
|
|
routing | 50 | 0 | f | mapbox
|
|
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: A sample result of 10000 records:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
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;
|
|
```
