In this article, we are guiding you on how to add extra API to your subscription. Have you reached your API limit? Here’s how to get more API Calls and avoid workflow interruptions!
In Dataslayer, we provide access to multiple data sources through API calls. If you've reached your daily or monthly limit, you may experience delays, incomplete data syncs, or service interruptions. To avoid this, let’s explore how you can get extra API calls and keep your workflows running smoothly.
If you're uncertain about your current daily API call usage, we recommend reviewing the comprehensive guide included in this article to better understand your API call consumption.
How to increase your API Call limit
Fortunately, there are two effective methods to increase your API Call limit. Let's take a closer look at each option:
1. Upgrade your plan
If you’re consistently hitting your limit, upgrading to a higher-tier plan can be the most cost-effective solution. Benefits may include:
- More API calls per day/month.
- Increased access to features (i.e., hourly and daily schedule refreshes for Google Sheets).
You can manage your plan upgrade by visiting the License section within either Google Sheets or Looker Studio. For detailed instructions on how to proceed, please refer to this article.
2. Purchase extra API Calls on demand
For occasional spikes in usage, you may not need a full plan upgrade. With on-demand extra API calls, you can:
- Get additional daily API calls instantly.
- Pay only for what you need.
- Keep your data sources connected without delays.
To purchase the extra API Calls, you should follow these steps:
1. Once logged in Dataslayer.ai, navigate to the Google Sheets or Looker Studio product.
2. On this page, find and click on the License section. Here, you will be able to see your current subscription plan, if applicable, as well as the available plan options.
Once you've selected your desired plan, scroll to the bottom of the details to discover the option for adding Extra API Calls:
