API calls

Im nearing completion of getting multiplayer to work with cloud and understanding how things are put together and now I am looking into optimizing and such.

What I am wondering about is:

  1. Is it possible to get an overview over how many API calls one has made so far? so that I can monitor how many calls a typical game session would use?

  2. Are all API calls counted towards the API calls amount? Think I read somewhere that leaderboards and achivements were not counted. But user creation/login/friends etc are? Just trying to figure out how many calls a typical user will make so I can know what kind of cost Im looking at.

Thanks!

Hi,

Actually all API calls related to Leaderboards, Achievements and User Accounts are not counted.

We are looking to provide the Corona Cloud Analytics very soon, with that you will be able to see all activities and metrics related to your Corona Cloud usage.

Thanks

ok, awesome, thanks for the answers! Then I can do abit more accurate guessing until the analytics is up.

Also, regarding the different plans for corona cloud. I see the number of push notifications are very low compared to API calls in the studio plan? In the others its been close to half, but in studio its only 1/5. Any reason for this? I havent tested things with push yet, but as I see it I will be using around 2 api calls per round, and 1 push notification… and that would leave me with wanting alot more push notifications before I run out of API calls.  Is it because push notifications are more demanding on the system in some way? Just wondering why you split it up like that when the price pr 1000 is the same. 

and will there be any tiers above studio or is it just paying per call then?
