Usage & statistics
Every proxy product has a Statistics page in the dashboard, and the same numbers are available programmatically through the Bandwidth API.
| View | Shows |
|---|---|
| Usage | Bandwidth consumed over time |
| Per country | Which exit countries your traffic used |
| Domain list | Which destination hosts you sent traffic to |
The Scraping API has its own Statistics page covering scrape counts and spend rather than bandwidth.
Bandwidth cards
Section titled “Bandwidth cards”Proxy Access shows your remaining balance as up to two cards:
- Available Pay As You Go Bandwidth: bandwidth you bought outright
- Available Subscription Bandwidth: this period’s recurring allowance, shown only where you hold a subscription
Both can be non-zero at once. See Billing.
Reading the domain list
Section titled “Reading the domain list”The domain list is the fastest way to find a job that is costing more than you expected. A destination you did not intend to hit shows up here as bandwidth you paid for: an analytics endpoint, an ad network, a CDN serving assets you never needed.
Scrapers that render pages in a browser are the usual culprit, because a browser fetches every image, font and script on the page. If a target does not need rendering, a plain fetch will cut the bill sharply.
Reading usage from code
Section titled “Reading usage from code”The Bandwidth API returns a daily series, a rolling 30-day summary, a CSV export and a per-country breakdown, for Residential, Rotating ISP, Rotating DC and Web Unblocker. Use it to bill your own customers or to alert before a balance empties.
Per sub-account
Section titled “Per sub-account”Each sub-account has its own bandwidth chart on its detail page.
If you need usage history going further back than the dashboard shows, ask support before you build a report that depends on it.
