If I refresh my data, does it count as an API call?
For legacy plans, Dataslayer.ai charges based on API calls per day. These plans include unlimited data sources, unlimited reports, and unlimited users, with usage measured through API calls.
When you refresh your query, Dataslayer needs to make an API call. For example, a spreadsheet set to refresh daily and report on a query from Google Ads, another for Google Analytics 4, and Facebook Ads will make 3 API calls per day.
So yes, refreshing your data counts as an API call.
Since February 2nd 2026, Dataslayer has introduced a new pricing structure where plans are no longer measured by API calls. This FAQ applies only to legacy plans. You can review the current pricing model here!
